Israeli singer and songwriter Mooki has released "Mitgaagea" (Missing You), the first single from his upcoming album. This marks his first collaboration with musician Idan Raichel, who is producing the entire album. Mooki wrote the lyrics for "Mitgaagea," while Raichel composed the music, arranged, and produced it. The song is a personal reflection on loss and longing for a loved one who has passed away, and the struggle to move forward while memories linger. The album, created over three tumultuous years in Mooki's life, delves into themes of loss, existential questions, and the search for meaning. Mooki's personal experiences, including the death of his mother and the events of October 7th and the subsequent war, heavily influenced the new work. "There is a longing that stays with us and doesn't disappear, a longing we learn to live with," Mooki said about the new song. He added that while the song is personal, he believes listeners can find themselves in its narrative, as everyone misses someone. This collaboration signifies a new musical chapter for Mooki, with Raichel's extensive involvement in the album's musical direction.
