oren_lavie_photo_portraitWorking hard here tonight to bring you yet another post. This one is actually pretty artsy so prepared to be “wowed” in the most positive sense of that word.

For those who haven’t been on YouTube in the past month or two there is a certain music video that has been making a bit of a splash. Uploaded on January 19, 2009 Oren Lavie’s Her Morning Elegance has gained over 5 million hits. The silky smooth voiced singer is of Israeli-descent and has a new album out now called The Opposite Side of the Sea. Lavie cites his influences as Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen. He is also a talented pianist and his recordings include guitar and a string quartet giving his melodies a bit more depth than your typical pop-infused ballad. According to Wikipedia he also is an accomplished playwright with two plays produced in London after his graduation from the London Academy of Music and Dance Arts. He also contributed to the soundtrack for the movie The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.
