Shua Kessin is a name you'd might have been hearing more of lately, and for good reason. Shua has recently become a huge name on both the Kumzits and wedding scene. He is currently finshing to record his debut album, "LO LIHITYAISH" which will be ready at the end of the Summer. This debut album is produced by Ozer Babad, and will feature songs composed by Shua himself.
We wanted you to get a small taste of what Shua has to offer, and so we present to you an A Cappela version of Nishmas. This is a song that Shua composed and will also be featured on his upcoming album.
Here is a small description of the song by Shua.
"We say Nishmas every Shabbos. I was recently talking to a friend who has been going through some terrible Tzoras. Whenever I ask him how he is doing he always makes a point in saying "Baruch Hashem!" I asked him what he thinks the meaning of Nishmas is and he told me, without any hesitation, "We aren't expressing our thanks for the extras in life like a nice house, or a nice car...we are simply thanking hashem for the basics. The fact that we wake up every morning and we breathe, we smile, we eat, we are healthy."
That's a special thought and the message is simple. Hashem is always there for us making sure we have everything we need to survive, even with all the trouble facing us in todays tough Matzav. Hashem is always there for us, and for that we sing, Nishmas Kol Chai."
Please enjoy this A Cappela single, Nishmas, from the upcoming album, "LO LIHITYAISH" - due this Elul!
This is only an A Cappela version of the song. The song, along with the rest of the album, will contain full musical arrangements.

(I posted a similar comment earlier)
I definitely heard this high part many many yrs ago in camp in color war. Anyone know where this is stolen from? It seems to be pretty exact?
Either clean your ears
or your obviously tone deaf
Finally a great original song
with great quality
unlike the garbage we hear being put out today
cant wait to hear more
thanks shua
Carlbachs umacha hashem to be precise...
yeah that song is "umacha hashem elokiim" an oldie (but a nice song)!
hatzlacha!
Oy! so nasal!
IT's beautiful and even if its taken from umacha Hashem, its better than all the garbage taken from the rest of the world! rather take from a hartzig song than from spanish, mexican or what not.... many of todays newest hits, arent new! they're just new to us because they from goyish rockstars.
and who do you think the rabbi sons were copying
SHLOMO CARLEBACH
so i guess its a copy of a copy
now what
to me it was enjoyable and meaningful
I agree sort of
and unfortunately its a very sad fact
there is almost no original songs today but at least its from a style with a point
and thats for sure true about kessin,i was by 2 shows he sang in i believe one was with miami & fried this past sukkos and he sang a few of his stuff alot of toichin i also watched a web cast of him were he did 2 hours of straight up Carlebach and his own so i guess he definitely touches on that style
hope to hear more
