Listen to the podcast here - the full interview with Aya Zehavi Feiglin

The theme song of Aya Zehavi Feiglin's new album, "The Promised Land", was born out of personal feelings that bubbled up from the chaos of 2020. "We are talking about the first closures of the Corona. There was a very difficult atmosphere not only in terms of the global epidemic It's hard, socio-politically, everything that happens. From election to election, locksmith to locksmith, from such a feeling that the citizens are thrown in some kind of irresponsibility - but we too are inside: this thing seems to open even more abysses and gaps and rifts and rifts, to me Strong, "she says," it may be that nothing is new under the sun, but there was a time when this thing was very much in the front, and I'm in a bubble where I live as a Tel Aviv hipster in double quotes, I got this thing very strong. "

"In this album, every song has some kind of angle, and it's unplanned, that has to do with what 'The Promised Land' is from all sorts of aspects, whether they're really geographical; alienation and alienation versus belonging; and whether it's on a more emotional or philosophical, questioning level - what That's where it's, "she explains.

Do not be afraid and do not stop.

Among other things, in a conversation as part of the "Culture Committee" podcast, she also explains why she felt more comfortable singing on this album, and why the new songs have less humor - her clear hallmark.

"While on the move I recognized exactly these two things. And I said 'come on - go for it, without fear'. You may lose things along the way and you may gain other things, but go for it. First of all about the place of being a singer - what happened? All this time I started falling in love just singing songs I love in this place of mine as a singer, getting excited and stealing from singing, from this thing happening in my throat, which is not just my tool to convey some message, but is the thing I love to do. I love to sing so much, and I noticed that they do not necessarily have any very sharp statements, very sharp knives, very cynical, sometimes just a beautiful song. Just 'LA ISLA BONITA',

"Obviously there's always a very personal and tumultuous emotional world I bring but I did not want to feel committed to any character. Because I have done so and so all these years - so I do not want to feel committed to this thing and try to write the same song over and over or use the same techniques or manipulations ".

On participating in "A Star Is Born"

: "Obviously something I did in my life, which is related to a disturbed prime time - it will stick forever. No problem: I did it, I chose to go there. I am satisfied with my choice. I did a million other things.It's not that I won at the rating level in what I did - nothing of what I did so far did not win at the rating level 'Star Born', certainly in a time when there was no 'The Voice', 'The X Factor', anything, that was the thing with the ratings The highest there is in the country.It still seems strange to me that a lot of time has passed, to me it feels irrelevant - not because it's a star born 'on Channel 2 but like talking now about recording on the first album of all my studs - it does not interest me anymore. "Maybe the weight in it is not that I did it and I'm still being asked about it, but I would like my resume to have something that seems to leave it dusty, not raise it but win it."

"Anyway it was an amazing experience, and I've been flying for doing it. It's exactly what we needed the band at the beginning of its journey to bring a boost and use that crazy platform and bring an audience to gigs. Today if I were a beginning singer, young girl, I would go on It's what it is today, even then I went for it. What I learned is that there is no such thing as not taking a platform that is offered to you to bring the music or content to more people. There is no such thing as 'this platform is not for me'. I was offered a stage. "

"The game is difficult within this specific stage, because it's the prime time it can be, and the most commercial it can be and the most aggressive and cynical and - tak-tak-tak-tak. If you or you know who you are, and that knowledge is sometimes Fox, then when you come on a stage like this you can only make a profit. I bring who I am and give what I have to offer the world, and someone will already take it. When you come in the process, in the search - then this is where it can be destructive. "

On the pregnancy and the break

: "I have a show that will be the last for now, because I'm an advanced pregnant woman and that's it, I know my life is going into the unknown. "Suitable for me too. Another second I will be a mother, I will need time to be busy with it, I'll turn around and come to terms with it. There will be a time when I will dedicate myself to it, now there is a last show before I go out for this dedication, so I'm excited and waiting for it."

: "Ravid is an artist who has very many eyes and ears, and then when he puts in a line that gives me respect in his song, I feel the blast. He did a prank on me, I came to him one day in a collegiate section, to hear each other's songs. That we sit some sit and go back and grind for three hours, by the way, he says "Wait a minute there's another song I want to play for you.

And he tells me his name is 'Hero'.

Oh you too have such a song no.

And I say yes, I have a song like that too.

Then I hear it and say ‘piece of bastard’ because it surprised me so much and I was so excited about it.

It's not obvious and it's amazing on his part and it says a lot about him, because he's like that regardless of me, he has reached very, very high and he constantly works to be both generous and kind from where he is, because he understands and knows how much it is not obvious, and works to know and know Everything that happens in the industry, from the most esoteric to Eden Ben Zaken.

So it's to his credit. "

On the storms surrounding "WTF", "Cockatoo" and Dudu Farouk

] Maafan, but okay.

It's about the same weight.

It does not shake my eyes, it's just - you came out a jerk.

It does not shake like what I told you ... it does not shake because it is a cheap provocation.

You went out of your way and lost the love of an audience for this thing and rightly so. "

On the dreams for the future

: "I want to perform. I want us to talk about my sold out in Caesarea [laughs]. To be hugely successful. I know what my destiny is, and I know I probably have a glass ceiling or I'm innocent and naive and think I can break the glass ceiling Or I'm not accurate in my will because I know what it means Caesarea behind the scenes, and I'm not really interested in it. Really worthy and really really relevant and really legitimate, and all this I think I'll feel when I have a different amphitheater or Caesarea, but I know it's not right. I'll feel it when I feel it, when I give it to myself. "On YouTube and not in a number of tickets. Maybe it's my dream, but forget about everything - I want Caesarea."
