After the successful launch of his 2021 album, Watersoul, Israel’s finest jazz contemporary, Eldad Ben Naim, has extended his discography with the release of his Brazilian-inspired four-track EP, Be New.

The title single is a flood of momentous and voluptuous rhythm, driven by the enveloping bass lines, glitchy trip-hop textures and vintage jazz flourishes, which gear the composition away from easy listening and into artfully immersive ingenuity.

With a similar sonic palette to Miles Davis, Weather Report, and Jaco Pastorius, Be New pays a gracious nod to the roots of jazz before defiantly careering into a modernist spin on the genre.

Eldad Ben Naim said:

“My inspiration is strong women; my message is release, relax and be with yourself a little.”

Amelia Vandergast, Executive Editor at A&R Factory said:

“The sultry, smoky jazz horns alongside glitchy breakbeats in Be New are enough to give Thom Yorke a run for his money. Sublime scarcely covers the vibrant melting pot of culture, style and creativity.”
