Eitan Kenner | Call Me Maybe

Eitan Kenner is an award-winning keyboardist, composer, and music producer,” (Nord.com). “Born in Tel Aviv, Eitan began studying classical piano at the age of 6. After dropping out early from Jazz high school, he attended and graduated from Berklee College of Music before relocating to New York City. A versatile musician described as a musical wizard, Eitan has become one of the leading young forces both as a band leader of a highly praised genre-bending project named Kenner and as an in-demand sideman in the NYC Jazz scene.”

Kenner’s 2013 cover of the Carly Rae Jepsen’s 2011 hit “Call Me Maybe,” written by Jepsen, Josh Ramsay, and Tavish Crowe, is an intriguing instrumental expansion on the original track. Filmed on and around the Berklee College of Music campus in Boston, the video focuses on the lighter side of life at a college centered around music study. Starting in G major, the track goes through a few transformations along the way, including a prog rock interlude that transports the tonality up a whole step to A major at 2:23.
