Oren Lavie is an outstanding talent that the music industry has been blessed with. Being a singer-songwriter, theatre director, playwright, this Israeli artist isn't just any regular musician. He pivots between music and theatre with eloquence and sophistication that is rare to find. The type of music Lavie creates is an entrancing blend of folk, indie pop, and a little bit of jazz, making him distinctive. His 2007 debut album, "The Opposite Side of the Sea," received critical acclaim and set his footprint firmly in the industry.
If Lavie's music were to be embodied in one word, it would be "innovative". Here's an interesting aspect: He is the director of his music videos and they are nothing short of captivating visual storytelling. His masterpiece "Her Morning Elegance," from his debut album, was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video. The video is constructed of 2096 still photographs, creating a stop-motion animation that showcases a woman's ordinary day in an extraordinary way. Another impressive video, "Second Hand Lovers," displays Lavie's theatrical expertise in a whimsical domestic tragedy. It's safe to say that Lavie's videos are not just accompaniments to his songs, but rather, they are integral, stand-alone pieces of art that augment his music.
