Yaakov Shwekey Returns With An All English EP “HAPPINESS”
Yaakov Shwekey returns with an all-new English EP, Happiness, featuring four original songs that blend uplifting summer energy with powerful messages of gratitude, Jewish pride, and joy. Produced by Yaakov Shwekey and Yitzy Waldner, the project delivers a fresh, contemporary sound while staying deeply rooted in emotion and meaning.
The EP opens with “Thank You,” a reminder to recognize the everyday blessings and hidden moments of gratitude that often go unnoticed. “Ani Yehudi” serves as a powerful anthem of Jewish identity and resilience, reflecting on generations of struggle, survival, and unwavering pride. The title track, “Happiness,” draws inspiration from the Abarbanel’s famous encouragement to the Jews expelled from Spain in 1492, that even in moments of darkness, a Jew must never let go of joy. Closing out the project is “Soulful,” a song centered around the power music has to shape emotions, elevate the soul, and bring a person somewhere deeper.
Musically, the EP moves between uplifting pop, emotional ballads, and energetic anthems, creating a listening experience that feels both modern and timeless. Windows down, volume up! This collection was made to be blasted all summer long.
