Nelly Klayman-Cohen is a singer, pianist, composer, and lyricist performing under the moniker Rotem Geffen. The album The Night is the Night consists of eight newly written songs and follows her critically acclaimed debut album, You Guard the Key (Zeon Light 2021). The lyrics, written in German, English, and Hebrew, delve into memory, love, sorrow, and the poetics of the night. The "I" and the "You" merge as relational organisms, their boundaries continuously shifting, blurring, and being redefined in their encounter with each other. Together, the songs form a cohesive, multilingual dialogue. On the album, she collaborated with producer Alex Zethson (keyboardist with Angles, Tropiques, Vathres, Fire! Orchestra, Sven Wunder, Mariam the Believer) and co-producer and mixing engineer Anton Toorell (Dammit I’m Mad, Invader Ace, Receptacles, The Ägg). The result is an album with varied and dynamic instrumentation, where the songs are imbued with a naïve shimmer that is balanced by darkness, depth, and subtle intensity – in both lyrics and music.
