From MostlyMusic.com:
This CD is an all Sephardic style album with all new material.
Yaakov Shwekey is less than one year removed from the release of his last album, Ad Bli Dai, but that didn’t stop him from releasing a brand new album. Yochi Briskman presents an all new CD from Yaakov Shwekey titled, Libi Bmizrach, My Heart is in the East.
What’s your thoughts on Shwekey’s tenth smashing album? What’s your favorite song?
Please do not post Lashon Haro or hateful messages.
i persnally don’t like sfardi style music, but the bo’i b’shalom on this new cd is really really nice! i luv it!
i love the second song modeh ani. it’s such a nice song!
Rau Banim is incredible…surprised no one mentioned it yet!
i happen to love every song on this album, its much better than his previous nine albums,one of the reasons is because in this cd yaakov sings the whole time and there is no choir in it
Ten Lo is my favorite by far!!!!! Habibi ranks as second.
i love yaakov shwekey,and got hooked on him with the release of his third album. i have not heard his new cd yet.i am not listening to much music these days and that’s the reason. i dont connect to any jewish music like i used to.
great album!
Rau Banim is incredible…surprised no one mentioned it yet!
Agreed. I could probably listen to the song all day.
in my opinion Boee Beshalom is the best song on this album
I love love libi bamizrach. especially as i just returned from a year in israel, the words have extra special meaning…many dont stop to think how far they are, not just physically but emotionally and spiritually. in other words, wish i was there
I love the song Hakadosh Baruch Hu. It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
I didn’t even know he came out with a new album! But from all the comments it sounds great. My husband and I love sephardic music! Gonna make sure to get it!!
My favorite song is Ten Lo!! Im tot. hooked onto his new CD!
Can you please rephrase that? Perhaps as a statement rather than a question
There’s a review worth reading on JMR –

Beautiful album. Even the fast songs are meaningful.
great cd! yala and habibi are my favorites
sphardik music doesn’t call to me. i just don’t like the style. nothing to do with shwekey.
I LOVE SEPHARDI/MIZRACHI MUSIC!!!!
But,…this CD wasnt what i had expected. Maybe its just me but some songs dont sound sephardi at all. Sure, he might be pronouncing the words as a Israeli/Sephardi but the style of the music doesnt really sound SEPHARDIC to me.
I dont hate his CD. There are some songs like habibi, yaala, and the first song called libi b’mizrach i think that i really like.
I guess i had my hopes up a bit too high for some real sephardic music.
