  • Itay Levy released an official cover of Ofer Levi's hit song "In Love with the Rain."
  • The cover became popular after Levy performed it live during his recent concert tour.
  • Levy is currently promoting his album "13" and performing numerous concerts nationwide.

Israeli singer Itay Levy has officially released a new cover of "In Love with the Rain," originally by fellow musician Ofer Levi. Levy's rendition of the nostalgic hit became a crowd favorite during his recent concert tour, prompting the decision to record and release it officially. The new version brings back one of Ofer Levi's signature songs, a prominent voice in Israeli Mediterranean music.

This is not Levy's first foray into reinterpreting established hits. In October 2020, he released a cover of Matan Galilov's "Remember," originally from 2013, which garnered millions of views on YouTube. That cover preceded a new studio album and highlighted Levy's connection to popular songs. The "In Love with the Rain" cover follows a similar pattern: selecting a well-known song, giving it a new interpretation, testing it with live audiences, and then releasing it officially.

Levy is currently promoting his album "13," which has accumulated millions of streams and includes tracks like "06" and "03." His busy schedule also features numerous large-scale concerts across Israel, including multiple shows at Menora Mivtachim Arena, Amphi MAX, Caesarea, and Barby. Alongside his music career, Levy serves as a judge on the popular television show "The Star Next Star," which searches for Israel's Eurovision representative. He has established himself as a prominent figure in the Israeli music industry by blending original material with renewed versions of popular songs, cultivating a large fanbase.
