The first time I heard Dafna
Armoni, I did not like her because I thought that she was too much rock for my taste. This
was in 1986, when her first album was released. Then, I listened to her over and over and
came to appreciate it. I won't lie: I don't think that Dafna Armoni is an exceptional
singer, but her voice (deep and yet clear) is interesting and some of her songs are quite
good.This first album was written by her ex-partner (in real life), Shalom Hanoch, an
extremely famous Israeli singer. This album was supposedly his present to Dafna as a
farewell. I don't like Shalom Hanoch at all (he sounds like Joe Cocker), but I have to
admit that he can write amazing songs. Dafna Armoni is a very good ambassador for
his material. Her second album was more groovy, a little less rock, but not as nearly good
as this first disc. In any case, I suggest that you judge by yourself! |
