Let's make this birthday one to remember.

45 years old (Born on February 18, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Regina Spektor! May your day be filled with more quirky melodies and whimsical lyrics than a piano can handle. From charming us all with "Fidelity" to making our hearts dance along to the playful rhythms of "Us," you've proven that music truly is better when sprinkled generously with creativity.

Here's hoping this year brings you even greater adventures—perhaps another album that'll have fans humming in elevators or singing passionately off-key at traffic lights. Keep dazzling audiences worldwide; after all, nobody else makes storytelling through song quite as delightfully unpredictable (and timelessly cool) as you do!
