Idan Raichel Releases New Song

Idan Raichel has been enjoying one of the most successful years of his career, after releasing a string of hit singles and performing dozens of sold out shows. Idan’s latest creation, the song “At Lo Nish'eret Levad (You Are Not Left On Your Own),” will surely continue his winning streak. Idan wrote the song, and filmed the accompanying music video, during travels to Italy, Angola, Germany, Colombia, Austria, Argentina and Ethiopia.

The lyrics reflect the wide range of emotions felt by someone who is traveling far from home, away from family, friends and loved ones. “When it suddenly clouds over / I immediately think of you / I am worried you might be cold now / How to get there quickly / And warm all of you / And kiss you in a way / That you will always feel / You are not left on your own.”

The song and the other singles Idan has released this year, will be included on his upcoming full-length album, which is set for release on February 1st, 2019.

The new single “And If You Will Come to Me” brings together the soaring compositional artistry of Idan Raichel - one of the biggest stars in the history of Israeli popular music and a major figure on the world stage - with the free flowing, improvisational guitar stylings of Billboard chart- topping American world fusion guitarist and composer Lawson Rollins.

The song is presented in two forms in this single release: a thrillingly fast-paced version that takes its influence from modern electronic music, and a traditional acoustic ensemble arrangement featuring Lawson on Spanish guitar accompanied by Grammy-winning violinist Mads Tolling, bassist Dan Feiszli (Julio Iglesias) and percussionist Davo Bryant (Ottmar Liebert, Baba Olatunji).
