Noga Erez - KIDS (2021) [Official Digital Download]

Musician and producer, Noga Erez finds her feet on »KIDS«, her bold second album for City Slang made with her creative and life partner Ori Rousso. Building from the raw politics of her 2017 debut, »Off The Radar«, »KIDS« moves closer to home while retaining her signature smarts and swagger. Its earworms and crisp productions are locked around lyrics that deal with the personal and the political; mortality and loss; war and peace, insecurity and ambition. As with »Off The Radar«, Erez never pulls her punches, whether that’s with politics or production.

"Walking towards the unknown with a smile. That's what I wanted this video to be all about,” Noga says. “The end is the only thing in life that can be predicted, so why am I so afraid of it? I wanted to inspire people to take a look at the magical potential of the unknown nature of life. I believe the relationship with what's beyond our control needs to be changed. The fear of it can become anticipation. The video doesn't show an all-optimistic journey. It shows a complex one. The beauty of being completely innocent at one moment, from militant to vulnerable and then in control. That's true to the journey we all go through, and what this video represents for me.”

After a series of singles, »KIDS« comes packed with chart-worthy outspoken pop anthems for the 21st century. »KIDS« replaces the shadow and fury of »Off The Radar« with neon brights, bold lines, in determinedly audacious and confident productions that swap ferocity for bounce, gloomy moods for fierce swagger. Erez has truly found her style, growing into a crisp bombastic sound she crafts with Rousso, that contains tension and release, anxiety and remedy, and masterly melodic licks in swipes of stomping brass, all wrapped around Erez’s versatile vocals that quick-switch from clipped flow to smoky purr; from stadium chorus to street-ready beats.
