The incredible success of Regina Spektor’s Far album has led to a headlining appearance at the legendary Radio City Music Hall in her native New York. The show is scheduled for October 14, but until then Spektor is continuing to promote the album, and showed up last night (July 30) on Conan O’Brien’s show.

Spektor performed “Laughing With” alongside a small backing band, and her voice really soars as the song progresses. It’s an endearing and slightly twee song that receives some melancholy accompaniment from Spektor’s string section, who add a delicate touch to a track from an album that reached #3 on the Billboard 200. Check out how small Spektor looks next to Conan at the end of the clip.
