Oren Lavie

I just discovered a very under-discovered artist.

No, really. This man, OREN LAVIE, needs to be more popular! I haven't heard all his songs nor do I even have his CD... (Titled, The Opposite Side of the Sea) but thank goodness for YouTube. I've been watching his videos, his music videos are incredible. You HAVE to see, 'Her Morning Elegance'. With more than 6 million views to date, it's a stop motion animation with beautiful photography and a very creative concept. It also has a massive amount of subtle symbology that goes with his lyrics. It's a must watch video for anyone whose artsy and likes soft, emo-ish, smooth and mellow music.

It started when my sister came through my room, asking me if I had heard of Oren Lavie. The name never struck me before - I've heard of Lisa Lavie, another artist on YouTube, but I doubt they're related. So my sister showed me the music video for 'Her Morning Elegance' and I just found it to be so... cool! For lack of a better word, it really is cool. I mean, stop motion animation is incredibly time consuming. And the way the video is done, so subtle with creativity and with the right colour template.. it's so nice. It turned out beautifully.

Oren Lavie's voice is deep, soothing, and captivating. He's an artist that should definitely get more attention.

Alright so fine, my kind of music may not suit all your tastes, and you may not like Mr. Lavie as much as I do. But this is my blog and I can share whatever kind of things I like. (:

But check it out for yourself!
