New hit song? It was written and recorded years ago by R’ Shmuel Brazil. Simcha Leiner asked permission before recording it again.
@iacisrmma This song is 100000% not Rabbi Shmuel Brazil. Maybe look at your album cover again.
But since you slandered YWN, Leiner and Rabbi BRazil, I will post it here for you:
After Purim, Simcha Leiner couldn�t get Shmuel Brazil�s �Elokai Neshamah� out of his head
Rosh Yeshivah Rav Shmuel Brazil has been composing songs for half a century, and Simcha Leiner feels fortunate that one of those classic niggunim is on his new album, Merakeid. Leiner shares how it happened.
�While being yotzei the mitzvah of �ad delo yada� on Purim, my good friend Yoni Kutner decided to sing me a song composed by his rebbi. He sang me a few bars of his version of Reb Shmuel�s �Elokai Neshamah.� A few days later, I couldn�t get the tune out of my head. I was trying to think where I heard it, and remembered that Yoni sang it to me on Purim. I asked him if he could get me the original, and the moment I heard the voice of Reb Shmuel singing it the real way, I couldn�t pass it up.
�I called Reb Shmuel that same day and begged him for reshus to use his beautiful, hartzige tune. It�s been a long time since he let anyone sing any of his songs, but he graciously made an exception and let me use it � on condition that I made sure that the song before and after would be great, since Chazal remark that �Tov l�tzaddik, tov l�shcheino.��

It wasn’t meant to slander. I had seen the article and thought it was Merakeid. I apologize to the YWN staff.
