Regina Spektor is one of a host of artists to pay tribute to John Lennon on a new double CD coming out in aid of Amnesty International's campaign for relief in Darfur.
Entitled 'Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur' will be available as an import on June 12 via Warner Bros.
Although some of the tracks have been in circulation for some time, the CD benefits the organisations battling the Darfur conflict, which has been responsible for a staggering 300,000 people losing their lives. So the moral of the story is go buy it.

Regina Spektor is the best singer-songwriter I've heard in years. It's odd that she is the best in the world, and I ask all kinds of people, have you ever heard of Regina Spektor?,.....a.... no. Don't understand. I saw her in Chicago, and she did "Real Love", it was GREAT. She makes me cry. Thanks, Regina, for your concert, loved it.
