In her latest single, Noga Erez examines how media performs more than it informs.
Israeli alt-pop star Noga Erez has released her latest track, “WATCH THE NEWS,” offering a sharp critique of how news has evolved into a spectacle. Created alongside Ori Rousso and Itamar Loebstein, the song dives into themes of media addiction and psychological manipulation.
“After tuning out the news (for a very long time) to protect my peace of mind, I gave in—and tuned back in,” she explains. “What I saw wasn’t journalism; it was performance… It made me think: what if news consumption today is closer to addiction than awareness?”
Sonically, “WATCH THE NEWS” features pulsating electronic elements, moody textures, and Erez’s signature vocal clarity. The production builds a sense of unease — a deliberate choice echoing the message at the heart of the lyrics.
Following this release, Noga Erez is gearing up for a major North American tour, set to begin September 23 in Brooklyn. With multiple shows already sold out, her return to the stage promises to be a highlight of 2025’s live music circuit.
Building on the success of KIDS and THE VANDALIST, Erez continues to challenge both musical and cultural boundaries. With “WATCH THE NEWS,” she again proves why her voice resonates in a media-saturated age.
