Boldly skilful vocals honed over decades of performance in the West End, alongside a captivating poetic and melodic journey from delicacy to euphoric uplift – Shimi Goodman brings unparalleled experience and conviction to modern music, with the deeply evocative, classical crossover single Adagio.
Featuring moments of quiet contemplation and those of juxtaposed, all-consuming orchestral and electronic power, Adagio highlights Shimi’s audience-driven approach of a steadily evolving soundscape and performance, centred around the soulful search for true connection and Faith.
It’s a mysterious conceptual progression, a musical commitment to the concept of Adagio itself, with complex instances of nuance and poetry seeing the performance gather increasing emotional and structural momentum, towards an intense, theatrical and cinematic crescendo.
Born in Tel Aviv, Israel, Shimi Goodman has been immersed in music and the West End since his early teenage years, and notes a plethora of leading roles amidst his ever-expanding repertoire. From renowned Rock Operas and the showtime splendour of Evita, to studying acting and serving in the military, Shimi’s contributions to culture and his unwavering confidence and emotional connection to his audience consistently ring out.
This year, the new single and video for Adagio, releasing with both English and Italian versions, seeks to carefully encapsulate the depths of that journey, and promises to engage fans of evocative classical music, epic and cinematic, theatrical genres alike, with a film-inspired contemporary sound that’s refreshingly honest, organic, and enchanting.
