JIVA – חושך
JIVA is an Israeli artist who writes her songs inspired by the diversity of her life. A native of Ukraine, she mixes folk traditions in her music, creating her own unique multiculturalism. Her latest single was released on June 16 and has been added to the JIVA catalog of Israeli songs.

The name of song 'חושך' in English sounds like 'Dark' and really has traces of dark music. Trip hop rhythm cuts the calm wave of synthesizers with its sharp blows adding the groove to a slow composition. Cold electric guitars appear at times when the harmony changes its sequence, to welcome mystery and tension. 


JIVA vocals are calm and gentle, soft and emotional. She is supported by folk backing vocal lines and leads her in the direction of contemplation and dreams. The ballad 'חושך' is a modern electro embodiment of the musical beginnings of JIVA. Its depth fascinates and invites to its own world where there is a place of darkness and light, sorrow and happiness.  Listen to the single 'חושך' below on Spotify to plunge into the quiet pool of song art from JIVA.
