Yehudit Tamir was a back up
singer for Yehuda Poliker, a famous pop
singer. So, it was not surprising that Yehuda Poliker wrote and produced Yehudit Tamir's
first album. Her style is, like Poliker, very Greek oriented, and soft rock. This first
album, released in 1990, contained the hit "Romeo", which was a huge
success in Israel. Her second album, written in collaboration with her husband, singer Sheffi Yishay, was released in 1994. This
second disc did not meet great success, but personally, I think that it is a wonderful
album, in many ways more achieved that the first one. Yehudit Tamir's songs are even more
meaningful if you understand Hebrew because her lyrics are very interesting and sensitive;
in a way, Yehudit Tamir's songs remind me of Edith Piaf's realistic and disenchanted
songs. Tamir and Piaf do not have much else in common, except quality... |
