On November 21, 2011, Spektor posted on her Facebook page that the album had been recorded with Mike Elizondo in Los Angeles during the summer of 2011. It was released on May 29, 2012. The album is a collection of new material along with the very first studio recordings of several of Spektor's older live songs. At the time of the album's release, "Jessica" was the only entirely new song. "How" and "The Party" had been debuted only weeks before during Spektor's headlining tour, "Don't Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas)" had been released in an alternate version on a previous album, ''Songs'', and all others had been performed in past performances. ==Singles and promotion== The album's first single, "All the Rowboats", was released for streaming on February 27, 2012, and for digital download the following day. It was featured on a prime spot on the CW's ''Ringer'' on March 13, 2012, making her the "Artist Spotlight" of the week.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ringer Music - Artist Spotlight )〕 The album's second single, "Don't Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas)" is a new version of "Ne Me Quitte Pas", a song originally from Spektor's 2002 album ''Songs''. Both of these singles have accompanying music videos. On October 16, 2012, "How" was released as the third single. The album was promoted through two tours. The first was a southern US tour on which Spektor opened for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for eight shows in April and May 2012. The second was an international show that opened with three sold-out shows in New York City, Boston, and Philadelphia. Only Son, a band led by her husband Jack Dishel, was the opening act for all three shows. The tour, which extended to several European countries (including Russia, to which Spektor has never traveled since emigrating from it as a child), ran through the summer of 2012. Appearances to promote the album include the Late Show with David Letterman, Good Morning America, The Colbert Report, a New York Times interview, a Vh1 performance, and special "Live on YouTube" engagement. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「What We Saw from the Cheap Seats」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
