Every artist wants his album to be as perfect as can be but sometimes he has to take a gamble. Is the song he’s deliberating over going to soar or flop? Is the intro going to hook the guys or be a sleeper? How do you know if you made the right choice?
We had an album ready to release and we were going to call it Kol Haneshama Sheli — and then we got the song “Yesh Tikvah” which changed our plans. Same happened with “Ivri Anochi.” The CD was done and then Ari Goldwag sent me Ivri Anochi. I called my producer and I said “I got some bad news. We’re buying another song.”
