Intriguing music, poetic lyrics that exude both vulnerability and strength. This is an impressive fourth album by the still relatively unknown Ella Ronen, produced by Sam Cohen (
Kevin Morby). The Tel Aviv-based singer-songwriter, poet and activist emigrated to Switzerland with her two children. With a warm, deep voice and honest, poetic and magical lyrics, she shares her deeply human emotions and
… experiences of resistance and resilience. Ronen's grandmothers were Jewish women who experienced violence and oppression. Both fled from Europe and Iran to Israel. And there, too, they had to fight discrimination and misogyny. Through her songs, Ronen resists the restrictions imposed on women and pays tribute to female strength. (SvdP)more
