With the release of chasidic superstar/entertainer Lipa Schmeltzer’s new album just days away, Lipa is giving fans a small taste of what to expect when his new album, titled Leap of Faith, hits the stores in just over a week.

“This is just a short video preview,” Lipa told VIN News.  “But I wanted to give people a chance to hear a little bit of what I am hoping will be an unbelievable album.”

Continuing to blaze new trails in the Jewish music business, Lipa is turning Leap of Faith not only into a collector’s item but also into a giant raffle ticket.  Each copy of the CD will be personally autographed and hand numbered by Lipa.  The numbers on the album will be used for a raffle to be held several weeks after the album release, with two winners being chosen:  one will win a guest appearance by Lipa at an upcoming simcha, while the other will receive one of Lipa’s trademark bekeshes, worn by the singer at several shows.

Lipa’s signature will appear not on the actual disc, which has yet to be printed, but on the accompanying booklet that will be in the CD case.

“I literally spend hours every night signing these albums,” Lipa told VIN News.  “I wanted people to think ‘How did Lipa have time to do this?’  I want people to know that the amount of time it took me to sign these albums seems endless, but it still doesn’t come close to the amount of time it takes for an artist to produce an album.”

Lipa admitted that he has devoted a considerable amount of time every night, not in the recording studio, but in his home signing albums as a way of giving something back to his fans.

“I think my hand is about to fall off,” admitted Lipa.  “But I wanted to show my appreciation to every single person who supports Jewish music and have an even more personal connection with my listeners.”

Lipa’s decision to personally autograph each album is just another innovative idea from  the entertainer who is as well known for his out of the box thinking as he is for his colorful attire and ever changing glasses.

“Lipa always brings something unique to the table,” said Sruly Meyer, director of marketing and design at Aderet Music, distributor of the album.  “People love to have something special from an artist that they can actually hold in their hands.  What could be better than this?”

No need to adjust your screens, one of most anticipated new albums of the year is coming at you, real soon! Check back here for a lot of exciting breaking news on this CD in the coming days!

Over the last few years, Ari Goldwag has released a number of A Capella singles which have garnered much interest during the sefirah season. Now, he is set to release a very special A Capella album featuring thirteen songs, ten of which have never before been released in the A capella format. The album includes a number of big hits from the albums Sheves Achim and Sheves Chaverim, as well as songs from Ari’s own albums. Both Sheves Chaverim and Sheves Achim will appear on the album, as well as special appearances by Goldwag’s son, Moshe Dov.

Three brand new songs will be featured on this album, two of which are specially for the album; one of them is from Ari’s upcoming album, which is scheduled for release at the end of the summer. The new a cappela CD will be available through Aderet Music and be available very soon!

Singing sensation Eli Beer continues to captivate listeners with his heartfelt compositions and stirring voice that is laden with both warmth and emotion. His unique style defies description with music that draws listeners in and reaches to the depths of their very souls.

Eli joins with the world renowned Freilach Band and the extremely talented Zemiros Choir for Ve’yiyu Rachamecho, a song whose style is equal parts Reb Shlomo Carlebach and Rebbe’s Tish. With words from Friday night Zemiros, asking for divine mercy on behalf of Klal Yisroel, this Hartzig song depicts the closeness we feel to Hakadosh Baruch Hu and our longing for His everlasting presence in our lives. Eli’s mesmerizing vocals meld seamlessly with the incomparable musical abilities of Freilach Band’s musicians par excellence: Avrumi Schreiber, Mendy Hershkowitz and Nachman Dreyer, further enhanced by the flawless harmonies of Yoel Polatseck’s Zemiros Choir: Yoel Friedrich, Avrumi Holczler, Suchi Gelbman and Shmuel Ungar, and the one and only dear friend of Eli’s Meilich Kohn. With beautiful footage by director Yoely Stauber – My Vision Studio and organized by Moshe Kravitz, Ve’yiyu Rachamecho literally comes to life before your very eyes and there is no doubt that this clip is sure to make Eli Beer a household name.

You can buy the single at MostlyMusic.com for just 99 cents.

Here is a 45 second preview of the track.

After releasing five hit albums, and four successful YBC Live! DVD’s, what could be next for The Yeshiva Boys Choir? How about acappella? That’s right! This Sefira season, from the minds of producer/songwriter Eli Gerstner and conductor Yossi Newman, comes YBC “Amein,” the very first ever YBC acappella production. If you think you know YBC, think again. This new album takes a cappella to a whole new level. What kind of songs are on this album?

First off are theree brand new tracks, including the title track which, according to Eli, is one of the most leibidige, coolest songs he has ever written. Another new song featured on the album is called “Al Naharos Bavel”, a hartzige nigun Eli wrote during The 3 Weeks. Next up, of course, is the smash single that took the world by storm “Ah Ah Ah” and some other hit songs from Eli’s various other projects (like The Chevra’s Ess Ponecho & Odcha). Eli is no stranger to acappella. His last acappella album, “The Chevra Acappella,” is one of the greatest acappella albums out there today. So this Sefira season, why not be the first to experience a whole new level of acappella with YBC’s “Amein”?

A capella fans everywhere were treated to extreme ear candy when the YU Maccabeats released their debut album Voices from the Heights, in March 2010. In November of the same year, they released “Candlelight“, a Chanukah-themed single. The song garnered international attention and became a YouTube sensation, receiving over 7 million hits. Since then the Maccabeats have performed at venues all across the world, from The White House to Hong Kong (and everywhere in between.)

Now the Maccabeats are back with their second album now available  on JewishJukebox.com. The new album, “Out of the Box”,boasts an array of 11 new songs and arrangements. They chose the name “Out of the Box” as the title for this album as a means of representing their incredible journey since their first album, “Voices from the Heights.” While on YouTube they typically perform in their signature colored boxes, this album demonstrates a commitment to stay true to who they are, beyond their post-“Candlelight” success. In line with their Modern Orthodox philosophy of Torah uMadda is a focus on remaining “Out of the Box” – fun, creative, and committed to serve G-d with all of their energy, faculties, and resources.

The Maccabeats remain committed to bringing meaningful content to Jewish music, with their hearts and minds in the right place, while celebrating the good and exciting parts of modern culture. The album includes hit songs, Rau Bonim (Y Shwekey), Yavo (MBC), Come Back (Moshav), Habeit (Aish) and more. Don’t forget to join the Maccabeats as Lamport Auditorium will be packed to capacity on March 28th for the highly anticipated release of the Maccabeats new CD. For Tickets:www.maccabeats.com
