Shmily Avles and Moti Goldman Release Emotional Medley 'Echad Shaalti'

Rising star Shmily Avles has collaborated with Hasidic singer Moti Goldman on an emotional musical medley titled 'Echad Shaalti' (I Asked for One Thing). The project, released during the month of Elul, a period of spiritual reflection leading up to the High Holidays, features a collection of classic melodies set to the central verse from Psalms: "One thing I asked of the Lord, this I seek: to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life."

This medley offers a continuous emotional journey through beloved tunes, each contributing to a deeper spiritual understanding. The musical arrangement was produced by Yanky Landau, who created an expansive and rich soundscape accompanied by the esteemed 'Kapela' choir. Nuti Rothman is credited with the vocal concept and meticulous arrangement, crafting a sound that preserves the sanctity and depth of the lyrics while offering a contemporary and moving interpretation.

The collaboration between Avles and Goldman, combined with the professional production and choir, aims to create a musical experience that connects listeners directly to the spirit of the season. The project is accompanied by a specially produced music video, filmed by Nati Albert and edited by Hershy Segal. The cover art was designed by Zeira, and the live performance was conducted by Moti Friedman.

Overall, the project was managed by Yitzchak Stein of 'Schakim', who successfully produced a complete and impressive musical endeavor perfectly suited for this time of spiritual awakening and closeness. The medley's core message emphasizes connection and closeness, with the lyrics expressing the fundamental human desire to reside in God's presence. It serves as a timely anthem of inspiration, urging listeners to focus on what is truly essential.
