Ido Malka Releases New Rap Song Hinting at Ex-Girlfriend Yuval Rafael

Singer Ido Malka has released a new song in the rap genre, a surprising departure from his usual pop and rock-influenced style. The song, titled "Psychopath," was released less than a month after his publicized breakup with his girlfriend of 18 months, Yuval Rafael. The lyrics contain subtle digs at his ex-girlfriend, referencing a romantic trip to Mount Hermon where he promised her a future, and including the line, "Making a face like, 'in another second we're going to fight here.'"

However, the chorus shifts to praise Rafael, stating she will always be "first place and not second" in his "Eurovision." Malka co-wrote the song with Tal "Talisman" Ben Nun and Gilad "Marco" Markovich, with Malka receiving primary credit for lyrics and melody. The song was launched with an intimate music video showing Malka alone in a large house, seemingly symbolizing the loneliness expressed in the lyrics.

Malka's musical flexibility is evident in his leap to a new genre. While his vocal talent is praised, the article questions whether the rap style currently suits him, suggesting he is still searching for his artistic voice and style. The author notes that Malka is a very talented artist and singer, with his song "Psychopath" already a personal favorite, but advises him to perhaps avoid the rap genre for now.
