Like an Empty Coconut on Shallow Water: The New Age of a Lovely Era | Israel today

In his new song, "Whole", a lovable era is swept into the corny districts, with words we've already heard in dozens of hits • This is what happens when an authentic creator begins to sing clichés • Criticism

It is common to think that participating in the second season of "Survival" in 2008 was a leap forward for Idan Habib's musical career, but that is not really true. In practice Habib did not have an easy life when it came to his music, nor because he was less good than others. The record companies and radio stations turned their backs on him at the beginning of his career, and what helped was a little push from one, Idan Raichel, who invited him in 2011 to perform "Mom, Dad and Everything Else."

Idan Rafael Habib - "Whole"

But from then on, Habib went his own way. On the one hand, he did not allow anyone to interfere with his artistic considerations, and yet he managed to conquer the peaks of the parades. On the other hand, he was not ashamed to perform songs for commercials, because one has to make a living. To his credit it should be said that he did not sell his work, but simply performed in his beautiful voice "Shadow of a Palm Tree" and "Waiting" (written by Raichel to Rita).

One would ask: Why would Habib, who has already established himself in the industry, have had to go again for the current season of "Survival" - one of the most fake reality shows on screen - if not for a comeback? In an interview with Israel Today less than a year ago, he claimed that he wanted to "restart life by getting out of the comfort zone. I missed the physical and mental difficulty, the deep conversations."

And so, with a departure from the comfort zone (and ignoring the "deep conversations" that awaited them in "Survival"), the independent creator drifts like an empty coconut on shallow water to the corny districts, and more than evidenced by the participation in reality, his new song, "Whole" testifies. , Written for him by Avi Ohayon (together with Akiva Turgeman and Matan Dror).

Habib was a unique artist. Although his uniqueness was expressed in a kind of combination of the fighting spirit of Idan Amidi with Natan Goshen's schmaltz, nevertheless, his work was authentic. Even his album covers included paintings he painted himself. The road from there to Ohayon's song, which among other things is responsible for the most silly songs of Eden Ben Zaken and Itai Levy - is longer than the road from Israel to the Philippines.

Habib Idan: "We have become whole"

• Audience Habib: Habib Idan is flourishing again

• New: Idan Habib is looking for love

"You are beautiful that there are no words to speak ... you are in all the prayers in the heart," Habib sang in "Shalim," probably without noticing that dozens of hits from the same house of creation contained the same words, only in a different order.

Not long after the rise of the most infamous season in the history of "Survival", Habib removed a follow-up from his friends on the island on Instagram, explaining that he did so because he "needs that time to get away to get back more accurately. Back to artistic pursuit." Well, if you meant it, darling - well, you're failing. Benk.
