Veteran electronic producer Refael Raz, a significant presence in the dance music scene for over thirty years, has released his long-anticipated debut album, Prayer. The album comes after a heart-wrenching personal loss—a tragic event during the Nova Festival in October 2023, where Raz lost 15 friends in a massacre.
Rather than retreating into silence, Raz channeled his grief into music, creating an album that he describes as a movement aiming for collective healing and positivity. The title track, Prayer, features both an original and an extended version, and exemplifies Raz's skills as a melodic techno artist.
Opening with an ethereal melodic harmony and powerful operatic vocals, the track transports listeners on a narrative journey that escalates with a dramatic drop. Synths reminiscent of dance music's most nostalgic eras accentuate the piece, enveloping listeners in an uplifting yet poignant atmosphere. The juxtaposition of child-like vocals against the track's darker elements further emphasizes its emotional depth, making it a testament to resilience and unity.
Said to be carefully crafted, Prayer is poised to be a significant addition to Raz's impressive repertoire. As the track gains traction, fans and new listeners alike are encouraged to experience the poignant artistry of this new chapter in Raz's career. The original mix can be streamed on various platforms, including Spotify.
