Liran Danino’s self-titled solo debut was a long time coming. The singer/songwriter proved himself under the glare of TV studio lights on talent shows Kokhav Nolad and HaKokhav HaBa. Then he served in the Israel Defense Forces before he finally lived out his dream of making a record. When the opportunity arrived in 2012, he exhibited his ballad-writing brilliance across 12 tracks that vibrated with charm and romance. Produced by Ori Avni, it's an album full of symphonic pop-rock guitars, emotional vocals and enormous hooks.
