Leading Israeli musician and songwriter Odeya Azoulay has released a new EP titled "Van da'M," a collection that serves as a prelude to a larger full-length album currently in development. The strategic release comes after Azoulay swept the charts, securing the title of Singer of the Year across multiple annual surveys.
The mini-album features three distinct tracks, each showcasing a different facet of Azoulay's evolving musical identity. The EP marks a more mature musical direction, blending contemporary pop with strikingly honest and exposed lyrics.
"Rockey" Takes Over TikTok
The centerpiece of the EP is the highly anticipated single "Rocky." Even before its official release, the track's sound became a viral sensation on TikTok, featuring in over 10,000 user videos, signaling its status as an immediate street hit. The song opens with the line, "In the streets of the lonely."
The music video for "Rocky" was directed by the acclaimed Omer Aloni, who has recently broken into the mainstream, creating international-caliber videos for top Israeli artists. The clip is designed as a complete, fictional series, telling the story of the invented character "Rocky" and starring a cast of young actors.
