Ben El Tavori Releases Intimate New Single 'Running Away at Night' Amid TV Series Launch
Israeli singer Ben El Tavori launched a new personal single titled "Running Away at Night" on Sunday, a song he wrote and composed during an intense period of self-reflection. The release coincides with the premiere of the new season of the TV series "Connected," in which he stars, marking a fresh musical chapter for the artist. The song was created during the filming months of the series, a time when Tavori faced the cameras but also confronted himself. After years of major successes, media attention, and complex moments, he chose to open a new page with a direct, mature, and vulnerable voice.
"Running Away at Night" explores themes of escape, regret, and longing, revealing a different side of Tavori with less filters and more honesty. The lyrics describe an internal journey of a person fleeing from their heart to unfamiliar places, living in others' narratives, yet pain returns inwardly. The chorus highlights the duality between the desire for freedom and the need for an anchor, between nighttime escape and morning yearning. The song also exposes the gap between external image and inner reality, admitting vulnerability and the need for someone to be authentic with.
This single also signals a new musical direction for Tavori, who previously worked within the duo Statik and Ben El. The song was released through a new YouTube channel launched the same day, accompanied by a poignant video shared on social media. Despite maintaining good relations, Tavori and Statik parted ways professionally to pursue solo careers. Statik released a solo album and became a mentor on The Voice, while Tavori continues to release independent singles.
In recent months, Tavori collaborated with several artists, including the hit TikTok single "Diplomat" with Ido Ben Dov, blending his vocals with an international vibe. He also worked with the band Synergia on the emotional ballad "Stop the Tears," calling it a great honor. "Running Away at Night" presents Tavori in a more personal and vulnerable light and is expected to be a turning point in his musical career. The single is now available for streaming and download on all platforms.
