There seems to be a new trend sneaking into Jewish music, for singers to release EPs. I'm not an expert, but from a quick search I learned that "EP stands for 'Extended Play,' meaning that an EP is longer than a single but shorter than an album. They typically feature between 2-5 songs and are under 30 minutes in length."

I assume it's a low-cost way of staying relevant, without having to put out 10 songs at a large cost. But unlike a single, people will be more willing to pay some money for an EP.

In related news, 8th Day put out a 2-song EP today, which is selling for $1.98 on Mostly Music. It's also available on Spotify and Apple Music. (H/T for links: Music On Time)

They released one of the two songs as a lyrics video last night.

Here is a Megama concert from some time in the '80s in the Maple Street Shul in Crown Heights. Jewish Child is the final track.

This is why you can't say innocuous words like "bricks" or "everyone here knows" in front of anyone in my family and expect the conversation to go on without a 10 minute Moshe Yess digression.

I need a Genius breakdown for the meaning of the song.

Saying David hamelech also faced his golyas just like the listener?

Jewishmusic.fm has been down for renovations for about 2 months already. They suggest using the app instead.
Is there any way to get the app on a computer?

Best options I believe are phone link or bluestack (or equivalent).

Thanks, Are they safe (filterable), and would they significantly slow down a slowish computer?

Phone link uses your phone, the latter is a virtual android phone, wouldn't recommend.

So there's no good eitzah for non-smartphone holders, correct?

Speaking of them, they significantly cut back on the amount of music available to non paid subscribers. A huge portion of the current content is only available to premium members now. I guess competition with 24/6 caused then to revamp their business model.
