Blue Fringe: A Jewish Pop-Rock Song Inspired by Eishet Chayil

This pop-rock song by Blue Fringe, entitled “Eshet Chayil,” is about a couple who are predestined for one another and commit to be together forever. If not for the chorus, the final verses of Eishet Chayil sung in Hebrew, listeners may mistaken this religiously inspired song for a secular pop song. Blue Fringe was an American Jewish rock band from New York City made up of four Orthodox students from Yeshiva University. Their music, a blend of pop, rock, funk, R&B, and blue-eyed soul, was influenced by Jewish artists like Diaspora Yeshiva Band, Moshav Band, and Soulfarm, as well as secular artists like The Beatles, Coldplay, and John Mayer.
