"Different Pulses" is the first solo studio album by Israeli singer-songwriter Asaf Avidan. The album was released on January 28, 2013. Avidan wrote, composed and produced all of the songs on the album. "Different Pulses" stylistically differentiates itself by opting for a more minimalistic and stripped-down approach compared to Avidan's previous works with his band 'The Mojos'.
The album emerged in a period of Avidan's life where he experienced significant emotional trauma and loneliness, resulting in raw tracks that echo solitude and introspection. The series of songs navigate through universal themes of love, loss, and time, which allows listeners to connect deeply with the music. Some of the most notable tracks in the album are "Different Pulses," "Love it or Leave it," and "Cyclamen."
Despite producing the album almost singlehandedly, Avidan managed to craft a piece of art that garnered him widespread recognition. Upon its release, "Different Pulses" was critically acclaimed and lauded for its originality, haunting vocals and lyrical potency. Asaf Avidan's distinctive voice and the album’s emotional depth propelled it to international success.
