Listen for a Good Cause

I don't usually dabble in music reviews, but someone told me about this and I though it worth a mention. A new J-Music album called "Believe" has been released. It is, as the tag line on the jewel box reads: "A collection of songs for women, by women, in support of women." Which means that all of the vocalists are women, all the proceeds are going to benefit a womens' charity, and (I think) it also means that, as the vocalists are Orthodox women, they assume it will be listened to by women, as many (but by no means all) Orthodox men interpret the admonition against "kol isha" to mean recordings as well.
The organization it benefits is Sharsheret, which is "a non-profit organization of cancer survivors dedicated to addressing the unique challenges facing young Jewish women living with breast cancer." The organization provides support in many different ways to women affected by breast cancer and their families. More information here on their wonderful website.
The album itself is extremely professionally done. The lead vocalist, Suffy Rudman, has an exquisite voice, though a few of the songs, especially the english ones, are a bit too bubble-gum pop for my alternarock tastes. The hebrew songs are just beautiful. Definitely worth a listen, especially as your purchase goes towards such a worthy cause.
