album Come Away With Me
. Working with Newland, James produced his second album Ten Songs About Love, released on 6 October 2007. It has reached #43 on the ARIA
charts.
Erans talent earned him a spot as the opening act for Sir Elton John's Australian tour, which began in November 2007.
Elton put Eran on the road, supporting Elton's sellout Aussie tour. Audiences fell for the
teenager with the God-given voice and Elton asked Eran what he wanted.
"I want to play and write and sing songs that come from my life, my heart
and my experiences and which will touch the lives of others. Maybe to heal,
maybe to provoke a reaction.""
Elton brought Eran back to London with him in 2008. He was all set to
take the usual routes into commercial music but he wanted to give Eran a say
in things for the first time. What Eran said was surprising
"I want to get a job, get a flat, experience another version of real life and start to write about life"
Eran says...
"Elton has been a huge help to me. He gave me confidence in my own songs. He kept faith
with me. He told me that he only started to find himself when he and Bernie
Taupin stopped trying to write hits and started trying to write great songs"
Two years later Eran is back in Australia with 40 songs about life, love and death under his belt and a passion for moving people with songs.
Eran has been working with Grammy award winning producer Robin Millar
