Picture Credit: Jiva Jiva -  חַיִים Release Date: September 15, 2021 Length: 02:53 Genre:  Darkwave  /  Trip Hop Origin:  Ashkelon ,  Israel 'חַיִים' (or 'Haim' in Latin letters) is the newest single by Ashkelon's rising star Jiva. Together with Ukrainian producer Dmitry Dubrov , the talented artist from Israel has produced a stunning song about the power of belief, and about the power that internal beliefs and attitudes can have on external manifestations. On gentle and soothing piano sounds, Jiva Taranenko  initially breathes soft vocals and thereby opens the stage of this sonic reverie. This theme then gets supported by strong and yet comforting Trip Hop and Darkwave sounds. And so, an elegant movement is created that reminds of a campire and its smoke dancing through the dark of the night. Jiva's 'חַיִים' is a song to close your eyes and let the feelings happen to. Probably the most intense, beautiful, and emotional song, Jiva has released so far. ...

Picture Credit: Jiva   Jiva - Mantra | מנטרה Release Date: March 22, 2021 Length: 04:00 Genre: Dark Pop / Alternative Rock Origin: Ashkelon , Israel On her newest single, Ashkelon's exceptional artist Jiva Taranenko  processes the prayer by Frederick Salomon Perl , one of the founders of the Gestalt therapy alongside Laura Perl  and Paul Goodman . The Hebrew lyrics by Jiva emphasize the uniqueness of each living being and necessity of accepting these unique traits. On this planet, we need to allow ourselves to be different and tolerate these features in other people, too. "Mantra" (or "מנטרה" in Hebrew) is a powerful sonic presentation that merges the gloomy force of Alternative Rock with glitchy Trip Hop beats and a passionate Dark Pop atmosphere. The oriental harmonies add a strong heat to the soundscape and thus create a stunning sonic experience, unique like the personality of each living creature. Jiva's song is a deeply sensual and catchy tune that is...
