Sound of the day: Video: Noga Erez

Marshmallow 05 Jan 2025

No more childishness, Noga Erez is now playing in the big leagues if we give him the opportunity to perform on stage like at La Maroquinerie last September.

I’ll clean up this mess. Noga Erez vandalizes hip-hop with his latest mutant album. Her sensual voice swings uppercuts and it makes It was. She collaborates with Ravid Plotnik, Eden Ben Zaken, Flyana Boss, Dillom and Robbie Williams. Nora raps, sings, in English, in Hebrew, in Spanish, above all in total freedom. She throws away preconceived ideas about Israel and doesn’t lose face by asking you to return her vinyl with her songs created by real humans. On this refined version with his companion Ori Rousso from Police the prima donna admits that she broke all the rules and promises, her near burnout burns our brains.

The Vandalistthe third album of Noga Erez is available from City Slang and Atlantic Records.

Noga Erez – Police (live from Red Rocks)

I’m so sick of you and your face
And your mm mm mmm
And your yeah yeah yeahs
Not in the mood almost any day
Wanna run away
But I stay in bed

I’m only human – scars and flesh
My blood red
Can’t change
And when you turn I will do the things
That you least expect
Again and again

So screw this game
I’m not OK

But please don’t call the police
I know I did something bad
I’m not in peace with myself
Please, I’ll clean my own mess

Please don’t call the police
Although I did something bad
I’m not in peace with myself
Please, I’ll clean my own mess

Please don’t call the police on me
I’m ‘bout to crack

I broke all the rules and the promises
And your nights and days
And your fancy shades
And I don’t expect you to forgive
But wish you’d forget, so

Screw this game
It’s up in flames

But please don’t call the police
I know I did something bad
I’m not at in peace with myself
Please, I’ll clean my own mess
But please
Don’t call the police
Although I did something bad
I’m on my knees and I beg you
Please
I’ll clean up this mess
Please don’t call the police on me
I’m ‘bout to crack
