Singer Shimon Levy has released his new single, "Crying With You," amidst a wave of new musical launches in the Haredi and Jewish music world. The song, released Sunday, offers a profound message that continues Levy's previous work but from a different perspective. Known for hits like "Nothing Bad" and "Dad, I Want to Fix," which encouraged taking responsibility, Levy's new track shifts focus to moments of brokenness and helplessness.
The single "Crying With You" challenges the common notion that divine connection is only for the strong. Levy's chorus asserts, "He needs you, He wants you, just as you are now, crying with you now." This theme of embracing vulnerability as a path to deeper connection with God marks a departure from his earlier emphasis on self-improvement.
Levy wrote the lyrics and composed the melody for the song, which was produced and arranged by Shaul and Maor Cohen. Yedidya Blas handled the mix and mastering, Ze'ira created the graphics and project design, and Ze'evi Heller produced the lyric video. The song is described as suitable for intimate gatherings, prayerful moments, and anyone seeking solace in knowing they are not alone even in pain.
This release joins a recent surge of musical projects, including Mati Shreki's "Coming Days," Yisrael Friedman and Eliya Haba's wedding song "In This House," and "Always" by Yechiel Giniger, Mendi J, and Chaim Green. Levy's vocal performance combined with the professional production aims to create a unique musical experience, emphasizing emotional depth through its focus on weakness and tears.
