Listen for a Good Cause

I don't usually dabble in music reviews, but someone told me about this and I though it worth a mention. A new J-Music album called "Believe" has been released. It is, as the tag line on the jewel box reads: "A collection of songs for women, by women, in support of women." Which means that all of the vocalists are women, all the proceeds are going to benefit a womens' charity, and (I think) it also means that, as the vocalists are Orthodox women, they assume it will be listened to by women, as many (but by no means all) Orthodox men interpret the admonition against "kol isha" to mean recordings as well.
The organization it benefits is Sharsheret, which is "a non-profit organization of cancer survivors dedicated to addressing the unique challenges facing young Jewish women living with breast cancer." The organization provides support in many different ways to women affected by breast cancer and their families. More information here on their wonderful website.
The album itself is extremely professionally done. The lead vocalist, Suffy Rudman, has an exquisite voice, though a few of the songs, especially the english ones, are a bit too bubble-gum pop for my alternarock tastes. The hebrew songs are just beautiful. Definitely worth a listen, especially as your purchase goes towards such a worthy cause.

I heard this CD. Youre spot on about the Britney Spears type pop, but I actually kinda go for that, so I loved all of it. Sharsheret is also a really great cause. I am friends with some of the people who started it.

Next can you review some of that alternative rock that you say you like?

1. Like all jewish music, way overproduced. If you listen real closely you can actually hear her voice.
2. The english songs sound alternatively like bad christian rock or a bad imitation of Allanis Morrisette.
3. The hebrew songs are very nice though.

I actually have gotten hooked on "figure it out" since writing this post. Definitely has a alternative bent.

I think you should take the link to the clips down. It's lifnei iver for kol isha. You're making it too easy.

Your choice not to listen, and anyway, many do not feel that recordings constitute Kol Isha.

In addition, according to the Seridei Aish, divrei kedusha do not fall under the prohibition.

Is it on CD Baby? It should be! They have quite a growing Judaica section, and this wouldn't be the first Jewish by-women-for-women CD to be offered for sale there.

I wrote about Suffy (as well as others) here. Othor- The song Figure it Out, was done by Josh Groban. That's why it does have a slight alternarock edge. My favorite on her album.

actually - life of rubin - you are mistaken. the song FIGURE IT OUT was an original created just for this CD. the josh groban song is a different, slow one. besides, josh groban's style is not "alternarock" at all!!

Either way, Suffy's sis, the album is unbelievable. It is the soundtrack every day for my commute to and from work. You can be proud. "Figure It Out" could be successfully submitted to any radio station, IMHO.

If you guys like Suffy, you would loooooooove Chanale. Her voice is one of a kind and she writes, plays and composes all of her songs. Suffy's album doesnt hold a candle to her work.
