Moshe Peretz's second album, 2007's Esh, showcases all the factors that drove the singer's rise to fame: tight Mizrahi pop with a mystical bent, and choruses that could blow the roof off any dance club. The record's title track was a smash—though later singles somehow managed to surpass it—and implanted Peretz's youthful, multi-octave vocals in the brains of countless Israelis, while the romance of sweeping ballads like "Ze Hazman" helped establish Peretz as a next-gen Mizrahi heartthrob.
