Noga Erez – Pity
Scritto composto e prodotto da Noga Erez, Pity è il nuovo brano della cantante israeliana che anticipa la pubblicazione di Off The Radar, il suo album di debutto in uscita il 2 giugno 2017. La canzone segue Dance While You Shoot, debut single che avevamo pubblicato in anteprima nazionale nel 2016, brano accolto favorevolmente, in particolare, da The Line Of Best Fit e Drowned In Sound. Di seguito le dichiarazioni della musicista in lingua originale a proposito del nuovo brano
«The song “Pity” was influenced by a sexual assault case that happened a few years ago. What made it even more alarming and upsetting for me was the fact that it was documented by several different people who were there when it happened. People stood by and willingly chose to film on their smartphones and then upload the videos and share them online. The presence of cameras and the violation of the victim’s rights and respect was completely disregarded beyond measure. This is the second time we had a chance to work on a video with talented directors ‘Zhang + Knight’. For them, as for us, the horrifying story was extremely powerful and chilling. We decided to focus on the video/documenting angle, isolating it from the rest of the story. Creating a performance based video, shooting me from many different camera angles, while playing the footage live on screens behind me. Displaying how quickly and easily video documentation becomes shared, publicised and distorted. Many times, without the person’s knowledge, consent and without accountability».
