Israeli singer Mooki has released a new single titled "מתגעגע" (Missing You), marking the beginning of a new chapter in his career. The song is the first from an upcoming album and features a significant collaboration with musician Idan Raichel, who is responsible for the melody, arrangement, and musical production of both the single and the entire album. Mooki wrote the lyrics, which delve into themes of longing for a departed loved one, the void left behind, and the process of living with that absence, where small things can trigger memories.
This release comes after a period of introspection and creation for Mooki. The album was conceived and written during the past three tumultuous years of his life, which included the personal loss of his mother and the national trauma of the October 7th events and the subsequent reality. Through his new album, Mooki aims to process these experiences, ask questions, and search for meaning.
"Today is another day without you, a void that cannot be filled, everything reminds me of everything, everything reminds me of you," Mooki sings in the song. He shared, "There is a longing that stays with us and doesn't disappear, a longing we learn to live with. 'Missing You' is a very personal song, but I think precisely within the private story, there is a place where everyone can find themselves. Everyone has someone they miss, someone they would like to talk to one more time. It's a song of love that remains even when they are no longer here."
