Album Review
Margy Kahn
Reviewed 2016-02-10
Internationally acclaimed Israeli musician plays keyboard and sings original songs in soft rock/pop style; quite a few about mortality & fatherhood

No FCC's detected (I don't know Hebrew) ; Favorite tracks – 5, 9, 10, 11

1-3:06 – piano begins, softly, then violin; low-key

2-2:48 –“The Warm Hand,” Hebrew vocals with piano accompaniment; slow

3—2:26 – “In the Wilderness” lyrics with reverb, more electronic-- Euro-pop sound- violin in rabob style

4—2:31 --”Looking at the Moon”-- lots of “kh”-- simple lyrics

*5-- 3:16—“Circles” – faster, more electronic beat, reverb with lyrics, nice accordion

6- 2:15 – “Lonely Island” --soft singing with piano; evocative

7-2:14 --”Little Girl of Mine”- singing about his daughter w/guitar accompaniment; harmony doubled

8- 2:44 - “Revolving Door” – rock beat; a relationship that isn't working, lots of “kh” again

*9-2:44 – “Longing” – piano accompaniment to female singer; evocative

*10-3:14 – “In Five Seconds – more interesting texture w/Moroccan musician Hassan Hakmoun

*11-4:05 – “Before It Ends”- acoustic guitar w/voice – fast andante. Nice singing
