All but one of the songs were written and composed by Dena Cohen. The exception is track no. 7, Yevarechecha, which is by Sam Glaser. The songs were recorded in The Shira Centre Studio, and the music was arranged by Dena Cohen and Yuval Havkin.

REVIEW of Silver Lining by SD

This CD has to be heard to be believed. Breathtaking in musical scope, inspiring in its slow moving tunes, sensational in its fast, leibedik songs, impressive in its sheer versatility of style and range... It simply has no parallel in Jewish music.

The girls voices blend together beautifully, and the soloists are outstandingly talented. You can hear the hours and hours of work and training that went into the singing alone - never mind the rest! The songs are the type that you find yourself humming hours later, with layers upon layers of gorgeous harmonies. The musical accompaniment is perfectly suited to each song, and the use and the choice of instruments is highly original. This album has depth, that touches you, unlike any other. It is a highly sophisticated and complex production, yet somehow it is also stunningly simple.

There is something in Silver Lining for everyone. Mothers' favourites tend to be the sentimental Little Bird, Yevarechecha and the haunting Shabbos Spirit, younger children seem to love One Nation, and Shiru Lashem, while teenagers have gone wild over Mah Rabu and Avraham Yagel. It's true to say that every time you listen to the album Silver Lining, you'll notice something else. You'd have to hear it in its entirety at least 20 times in order to appreciate it.

Listening to the passage of songs, you're taken on a breathtaking journey through Jewish life. When you've finished the 11th song, you're left feeling uplifted and inspired, and you'll want to start all over again!
