Shai Wetzer’s new album, You Can Hear It Your Own Way, is a genre-defying journey that blends languages, traditions, and instruments from Yemen, Morocco, Israel, and the broader Arab and Western worlds.
Rooted in collaboration, the album celebrates cultural richness while inviting listeners into an immersive musical experience that transcends borders. Through both recording and live performance, Shai uses music as a space for empathy, connection, and shared humanity.
In a time of division and distraction, You Can Hear It Your Own Way is a reminder that music can unite us — carrying a message of love, openness, and hope in our dizzy, spinning world.
**We are looking for supporters who share our vision.**
Your generous support enables the creation, recording, and sharing of a musical experience rooted in genuine collaboration and a desire to bring people together.
Volume One – release date: April 2026
We are hoping to raise $12,000 for content creation, radio promotion, and a playlisting campaign.
Volume Two – release date: September 2026
Additional funds will go toward finishing recording, mixing and mastering the album, as well as artwork for the double LP and a thoughtful and targeted marketing campaign.
Our goal is not just to gain listeners, but to help connect music lovers across cultures and foster community.
