This is not the first time that the important magazine expresses its appreciation of Avidan: Last year the Mexican edition of Rolling Stone praised the young artists' music and branded him "a new messiah."
"This is a great honor and certainly a positive beginning ahead of 2009, in which we expect many developments in the international front," Avidan and his group said in a statement.
In recent weeks Avidan, 28, has held several work meetings in Europe regarding potential overseas contracts, and quite a few record companies have expressed interest in his talent and unique voice.
