His ability to speak to the human experience is powerful. His music is full of passion and depth and makes us all feel our own joy, humor, love, and sadness. In the process, Hyim refreshingly reminds us what music is about: he moves us and connects us with each other! He is a luminous talent who I want to grow with in this album and whatever is next.
(Elan Masliyah, Rainmaker Media)
Hyim, Hebrew for life [creates] a pendulum of styles and feelings, swinging between sunny mento rhythms, spiraling Cuban son, urgent hip-hop manifestos, and pensive balladry. Quite a sweeping achievement! The song-writting's most striking aspect is its profound emotional depth. Hyim's music holds a rare gravity and it is clear that he possesses a grand vision.
