Israeli musician, songwriter, and singer Gideon Unna invites listeners to reconsider where paradise can be found with his original single “Heaven Is Here,” released on May 13, 2026.

Written by Unna on guitar at his home on a kibbutz, the song grew through a collaborative creative process involving longtime partner Lior Medan, who developed the arrangement through AI-assisted production, and vocalist Naomi, whose contribution adds another layer of emotional depth to the track.

The recording took place at producer and mixer Yoav Asif’s intimate home studio in Moshav Tzrufa, giving the song a warm and organic character that complements its central message. Rather than reaching for something distant or imagined, “Heaven Is Here” focuses on recognizing beauty, connection, and a sense of peace in the life already being lived.

The song also offers a thematic counterpoint to John Lennon’s “Imagine.” Where Lennon’s classic invites listeners to envision a different world, Unna approaches the idea of heaven from a more immediate perspective: perhaps paradise isn't somewhere we need to imagine reaching, but something that can already exist around us.

That sense of optimism is reflected in the song's production and performance. Yoav Asif described being unable to stop listening to the track because of how good it made him feel, a reaction that speaks to the uplifting quality at the heart of “Heaven Is Here.”

Unna’s music has long been shaped by the meeting point between tradition and contemporary expression. His distinctive style draws from Israeli music, Jewish spirituality, and traditional melodies, while his songwriting focuses on universal themes of love, spirituality, and human connection.

Beginning his career as an independent artist, Unna gradually developed a dedicated audience through deeply personal songs and storytelling. His albums, including Tzipori Shabbat, have become recognized within the Israeli music scene, establishing him as an artist capable of connecting cultural heritage with a modern musical perspective.

With “Heaven Is Here,” Gideon Unna continues that balance between past and future, tradition and innovation. The result is a song built around a simple but powerful invitation: instead of searching for heaven somewhere beyond the present, take a moment to recognize what is already here.
