Upon listening to ‘Drink with Me’, we are instantly taken aback by its tenderness, by its elegance. Guitars are gently plucked, strings unveil their cinematic goodness with understated allure. Lionel Faretein’s vocals introduce a vulnerable tale of humanity and introspection, slowly uncovering the monumental, personal vision of Israeli composer and multi-instrumentalist Eyal Reginiano. The talented creative is always on the move, so to speak; living in-between genres and influences, he borrows from classical music one moment, from folk the next. Don’t forget the chamber pop allure that transpires through Reginiano’s nuanced songwriting.
However you look at it, there’s no denying that ‘Drink with Me’ is a masterpiece. It’s a beautiful offering, a well-crafted, evocative record that’s bound to resonate with a wide audience out there. Originally written by Reginiano himself, words and music, the song was then extended to Faretein, as he lends his singing expertise to Eyal’s cause. It’s a marriage of intents, one that works sublimely well. Alongside the two, we also find Yonathan Logger on violin, Barak Sober on Flute, and Eyal Sela on Clarinet.
Delving deeper into ‘Drink with Me’, Reginiano explains: “I first heard Lionel sing in the forest. Something about his voice was immediately clear to me; that’s where I want to go. I knew I was going to tailor a song around that voice.” Inspired by his own life and the balance between personal ambition and quaint family life, the song reaches its zenith as a compassionate, authentic work of art.
