Michal Lotan
Lotan does a sweet combination between Jazz and Folk. There’s no other words that come to mind, while I am sitting here trying to describe her voice, it’s just sweet. Such a short and trivial word, but yet so accurate. If ’sweet’ was created to describe only one thing, it would be Michal’s voice.
Rotem Or
If I am into the business of single-worded-tagging, then I have to tag this one as well. ‘Soft’ is the word Rotem’s music will get. This word was not created for her, and her music has much more, and much less, into it, but this is that tag of choice. I think I hear in her music what I want to hear – memories. She reminds me of the early works of Heather Nova, a personal favorite of mine during my high school days. Still when browsing my CDs, the most records I have by a single artist is R.E.M and Heather Nova, both from that time. It seems that when my listening habits widened, they swallowed my ability to really concentrate on single artist. Soft, that’s what she gets, and memories is what she wakes in me. We all find what we want in music, I find softness. We all hear what we want, I hear memories.
