Israeli Electronic Artist EREZ Shares New Single “Modern Dream”
NYC-born, Israeli-raised alternative electronic artist EREZ has been a songwriter for as long as she can remember; however insecurities held her back from sharing her voice before the age of 12. Her rich, raspy vocals eventually matured and have become an alluring aspect of her music now confidently into a music career. On her new single “Modern Dream”, her skills at a producer and vocalist collide on the hauntingly lush track about the blurring line between reality and technology.
On the single she shares, “‘Modern Dream’ is just me self reflecting and questions the place and power of technology and socials in my life and our collective lives as humans – therefore the constant use of the word ‘we’ and not ‘I’ or ‘you’ or ‘they’. I’m trying to get across a simple question – are we part of the machine or not? This hunger for fame, validation and recognition is often external and learned. Who is teaching us to crave this? The machine. The machine that makes money off us thinking that this is the route to happiness, success and fulfillment. While the truth is, those things really only come from within. (Easier said than done yea). Yes we all are looking to be validated by our friends, family and peers but to what extent?”
A droning piano melody lays the foundation for EREZ as her voice, finding a middle ground between Radiohead and Dido, before splicing her voice reminiscent of Goldfrapp. Listen to the single below and stay tuned for more music from EREZ.
