Ingredidents for an amazing album:

Self produce said album.

Play piano.

A soothing voice.

Lyrics that melt your heart melt.

Smooth beats.

     All these ingredients are evident in Oren Lavie’s debut album, The Opposite Side of the Sea. Having taught himself how to play piano when he was youunger, he’s been leading up to making a real album for quite some time now. Yet he only wanted to make music for himself, like most artists do, while most of them never get recognized for their efforts. Especially people from Israel such as Lavie.

      While I’m such a huge fan of Oren, hardly anyone that I know of has ever heard of him which is truely a shame. I can bet my left arm that he’s going to be one of those artists that just pops out of no where and dazzles peope that are aimlessly browsing videos on youtube and last.fm.
