Lior
I have to admit that I had not heard of Lior before someone with a real good ear provided information and a Web link. Now, I must admit that I like the music. It’s good listening. “I’ll Forget You St. Sia” (Corner of An Endless Road).
Clarity of voice is one factor that contributes to this young artist’s success. Of course, those who come from that great land down under have known about Lior for a couple of years. He had an independent album called Autumn Flow in 2005. The information from Lior notes his “Middle Eastern heritage” and points out that he has already garnered nominations for such things as Best Male Artist in Australia’s recording industry.
There is an old joke about being either “independently wealthy” or “independent of wealth.” Lior showed listeners with “Daniel” and “This Old Love” from the 2005 album that he could sing sweetly and with an easy-to-listen-to style, and ultimately become something other than independent of wealth.
His growing popularity in the UK is helping add to the bottom line as well. He is also gaining favor in the United States.
He describes the newest CD this way: “Corner Of An Endless Road is a true representation of my musical landscape; think Led Zeppelin jamming with Nick Drake at a teahouse somewhere in the Middle East.”
Lior, 2008
He is touring the UK and the U.S. to promote the newest CD, “before further international touring over the next 12 months.”
