Remember “Happy Birthday”, Israel’s entry to the 1999 Eurovision Song Contest? Well it’s back, 24 years later.

Gavriel Butler, one-fourth of the boy-band Eden that originally performed the song, released two solo re-mixed versions of the song this week. One was mostly in Hebrew (like the original), and the other entirely in English.

The iconic song received quite a bit of attention in 1999, as the follow up to Israel’s Eurovision-winning 1998 song, “Diva” by Dana International. The song placed fifth in Eurovision 1999 in Jerusalem.

Since 1999, Gavriel has remained active in the Israeli music scene, most notably recording and performing with Subliminal’s “TACT Family”. He recently joined the crew on stage as part of Subliminal and Hatzel’s reunion concerts, beginning in January 2023.
