Jewish singer Benny Friedman is going to bring the free-spirited joy often seen at Chassidic weddings in Brooklyn and elsewhere to your iPod and CD player.
Following the good sales of his debut album ‘Taamu,’ Friedman is the featured singer on an album which is arranged by Avremi G and produced by Avi Newmark.
COLlive was told that Newmark, who also owns a band named Nagila Orchestra, came up with the idea of an all simcha album, thus the title of the new album, Nagila V’nismicha.
“We can’t disclose details on song selections yet, but there will be lots, mostly happy songs,” said Sruly Meyer of Aderet/MostlyMusic.com and Friedman’s publicist.
He told COLlive that the album will include “one brand new slow song” composed by a newcomer, Mendy Fisch, and one new fast song composed by Elimelech Blumstein.
Benny is accompanied on 2 brand new songs by a men’s choir led by Moshe Roth in Israel and another choir led by Yitzy Spinner in New York.
The mixing of the album is finished, and the cover was sent to print this week. The hope is to have it ready sometime next week, in time for Purim, Meyer says.
The cover features a photo of Benny Friedman in front of a red-brick wall and stained glass windows which Lubavitchers won’t have a hard time identifying.
