Dovid Stein Melech Review
Jewishmusic656.blogspot.com Review on Dovid Steins Album Melech
Review By Ahron P. of JMUSIC656
Produced And Arranged by Eli Gerstner
Arangments also by Moshe Laufer and Yisroel Lamm
I really loved this CD the musics great each songs is great in its own amazing way. Eli Gerstner proved his talent at a whole new level (by the way I'm not a fan of most of his music). Dovids voice is one of a kind and part of an elite group of top singers his talent can not be said in words with that here is my review
Muvtach Lo- Composed and arranged by:Eli Gerstner
This song rocks the CD right away it gets you pumped an amazing first song choice and really catchy song you want to keep listening to it.
9 1/2 out 10
Ki Bochar- Composed and arranged by: Eli Gerstner
The intro is unbelievable the music throughout the song is rocking.I just feel this song Dovids voice is strong it sounds really good.The adult choir sounds perfect. I personally love this song and cant get it out of my head one of my favorites on the album.
8 out of 10
Ki Atoh Hu- Composed and choir arranged by Yossi Green/ Arranged by Eli Gerstner
Another great intro with Avi Singolda this is a beautiful song really touching.Dovids vocals are one of a kind and out of this world.Yossi Green compositions have been really hot since the 8th note I loved the Green songs on Yisroel Werdygers album.Personally i don't like Yossi Greens voice and his vocals on this song are terrible, you just want to hear Dovid again.
7 1/2 out of 10
Melech- Composed and arranged by Eli Gerstner
How cool the last recorded song just recorded a few weeks before the album release is one of the best. Purim time when the album was completed, Dovid was told by his Rosh Yeshiva and Mendy Werdiger from Aderet to wait till after the summer, With more time on the table Dovid added Ki atoh hu, to keep it even with the amount of fast and slow tracks MELECH came to life another rocking song the music is really good a really impressive song an the right choice for the title track A+ song!
9 out of 10
Vahaviosim-Composed by Eli Gerstner/ Arranged By Yisroel Lamm
The intro and music throughout the song is beautiful, top of the line arrangements.Dovids ranges are out of this world on this song and so is his voice.
8 out of 10
Neerah- Composed and arranged by Eli Gerstner
At first i really didn't like this song but this Yeshivish/Chasidish song is really hot and it really makes you smile. I grew on this song after hearing a bunch of times and i cant stop singing it. Hands up for Eli Gerstner!
7 1/2 out 10
Hashem Yimloch- Composed by Yitzy Waldner with Eli Gerstner/Arranged by Eli Gerstner
Wow, this song is really beautiful one of the best slow songs ever. I cant get over this song, Dovid sounds really good the music is fabulous, the kid (Yaakov Mordechai Gerstner) is great. A real good song you will be hearing it all over the place, I love it!
10 out of 10
Ltav Avid- Composed by Eli Gerstner/ Arranged by Moshe Laufer
Another great song, Dovids intro is really good, Its really catchy nice wedding song i liked the second i heard it.
8 1/2 out of 10
Sheemah- Composed and arranged by Eli Gerstner
You would think the good songs stop now the end is not gonna be so good guess what your wrong in fact very wrong! Another really touching song. I was listing to this last week in the car and someone is like i want this song by my chupa. Its a really nice song, another thumbs up to Eli Gerstner! It really is a beautiful song!
9 out of 10
R' Yochonan- Composed by Yosef Chaim Bloch/ Arrangements by Moshe Laufer
I like this song it doesn't jump at you but its nice. The arrangements are also pretty good, Again there is something great to this song but I'm not hearing it the whole time at points it sounds really good!
6 1/2 out of 10
Achas- Composed by Yitzy Waldner with Eli Gerstner/Arranged by Yisroel Lamm
This song is incredible!:-) With Sheema and Hashem Yimloch close bye on the album its hard to pick. Achas is another incredible slow moving song.I loved every second of this song, Dovid sounds really good on this song what a song to closeout this album!
9 1/2 out of 10
Lazers Niggun- Composed and Arranged by Eli Gerstner **BONUS TRACK**
I always thought it was cool song i liked it better live though. I thought the whole song could have been done better at points it does sound good. I still like the song but no comparisons to songs like Muvtach Lo or Melech.
6 out of 10
Overall this CD was really impressive for a debut singer.I really enjoyed it and you will too if you have not picked up your copy pick it up at you local judaica store or online at ww.mostlymusic.com thank you!

Picture of LIPA for big event not liked by many
The Picture of LIPA for the big event has been advertised all over some even seen by many non Jews (guyim) , like the Billboard on Avenue M in Brooklyn where the picture is very big people say the picture of Lipa is not very funny and he looks "retarded" that's how it was put by a person this past shabbos in shul in my opinion i like Lipa alot he has lots of talent and cant wait for the results of this show this picture can be better and does not impress me. Feedback would be nice thanks!
Billboard in Brooklyn for the big event
Picture credit Life-of-rubin blog http://life-of-rubin.blogspot.com/ThanksIf you are going down Avenue M in Brooklyn when you hit east 15 street you will see the massive add for the Lipa- Gertner Big event in the theatre in the Madison square garden to let you in on this it is a big add and many Jews pass by it and it does a great job for advertising the event, my source tells me for one of those spots its $2000 a month you can be lucky and it will stay up for a few months cause there is no one to take it over so if you want to advertise there for your Jewish event i will get the number to call other Jewish music adds have appeared on theses billboards including this years bestselling CD Pruzbul (I'm not saying the best CD) but it did sell the most copies and was ok with some very good songs! Chinese Auctions and other Jewish events appear there alot! Visit the big event site order your tickets quick at http://www.nybigevent.com/index.php
