イスラエルが誇るシンガー・ソングライター/ピアニスト/プロデューサーのイダン・ライヒェル最新作。Idan Raichel, a global icon and one of the most popular and beloved artists in the history of Israeli music, will release his new album on 1st Feb 2019.“And If You Will Come to Me” reflects the next phase in a personal journey that began nearly three years ago when he put his 14-piece supergroup The Idan Raichel Project on hiatus and began performing more intimate solo and small ensemble concerts. Along with guest musicians from Japan, Bulgaria, Ethiopia, Cuba and India, And If You Will Come to Me features duets with African guitar wizard Bombino, Cuban GRAMMY nominee Danay Suarez, Israeli stars Berry Sakharof and Zehava Ben, and a special new studio track with the reunited Idan Raichel Project. The album’s title track (“Ve’Eem Tavo’ee Elay” in Hebrew) has already become one of Idan’s biggest hits ever in Israel, with nearly 18 million streams on YouTube alone, and the singles from the album have racked up a total of 35 million YouTube plays. Idan will be supporting the release of And If You Will Come to Me with an extensive international tour in March 2019 that will see him performing in the USA, the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Sweden and more.The new album opens with “Galgal Mistovev (Spinning Wheel)” one of the first songs he recorded on his journey. The song features musicians that Idan met in Japan and Bulgaria, as well as in Israel. The “spinning wheel” of the title refers to the up and down of emotions we feel in life and reflect the sentiment that started the whole album process. Nigerien guitarist Bombino, who has been dubbed the “Jimi Hendrix of the Sahara” by music critics worldwide, provides a rocking, trance-inducing guitar jam on the song “Imidiwanine (My Friends).”On the funky “Ketero (Let’s Meet)”, Idan returns to the Ethiopian influences that were such a big part of The Idan Raichel Project’s early sound and story.Yahalom David, a 17-year old singer that Idan met through Instagram, provides lead vocals and has earned a spot as one of the members of the reunited Idan Raichel Project band. When Idan first heard her sing, her voice was so mature he was surprised to find out how young she was. The release of And If You Will Come to Me marks a new stage in Idan’s ongoing personal and artistic journey, but it also reflects a rediscovery of his original inspirations.
