Trashy German-Israeli Pop: Crystal Lake
Guess who's back? Our friends from Israel, Crystal Lake. The act has two new offerings this winter, one bad and one good. Let's start with the bad. "F.A.Q" is their latest collaboration with German producer Manian (behind top-selling outfits such as Cascada and R.I.O) and this song features a vocal hook so terrible it must be heard to be believed. It goes like this: "You say hello, fuck you!" Swear to God. Then, the guys rap lyrics that are just unreal in their awful-ness. The pair fare much better on their new remix of German DJ Bryce's "Nothing Can Hold Us Back." That song is actually good and their remix of it is an improvement on the original. Get your fix of trashy German/Israeli trancepop below.
An Israeli/Romanian Rihanna: Giulianna
Who likes Rihanna? If that's you, then pay attention to this new song and video by Giulianna called "Everybody." The song was written by prolific producer Adrian Sina and it really grows on you, just like recent worldwide smashes by Rihanna. Giulianna (real name Giulia Nahmany) was born in Israel but currently lives in Romania. She's not well-known in Romania or Israel....yet. This track coupled with her good looks might change that in the years to come. Check the new clip below.
France's Rihanna? Tal's "On Avance" Clip
Just caught this brand new clip by new Warner Music France artist Tal and it is awesome. "On Avance" is just about perfect and pretty sure we are seeing a star in the making here, thanks to this song. The 22-year-old is not just some pop star prop-up: she sings, plays guitar (self taught) and writes her own songs. Think she was actually born in Israel, as Tal means "morning dew" in her native language. One to watch! (h/t chartsinfrance)
TYP's Mad Israeli Electro Pop "D.I.S.C.O."
Israel's The Young Professionals (TYP) released this insane video for their "D.I.S.C.O" a few days ago and I love it. Forget Justice's anthem of 2007 ("D.A.N.C.E"), "D.I.S.C.O" is the best dance track since the Village People's "Y.M.C.A." Great-looking video as well. The best part? This is a proper pop song that I can only hope Europe and America embraces this year. The song contains a sample of Ottawan’s 80′s classic D.I.S.C.O. and the clip was directed by Guy Sagy. Check it below.
Real Russian/Israeli Barbie Doll: Hodaya
Want to hear a really bad accent? Like trashy Europop? Then today is your lucky day! Israel's Hodaya has released a bizarre video, "Play Your Beat," where she becomes a real life barbie doll. The 21-year-old is like something out of a comic book. Yet she exists. Really. I wonder how much the clothing budget was for this video, because Hodaya is wearing computer box packaging as a dress for a lot of this clip.
