It’s finally here.

Static and Ben-El Tavori have dominated the Israeli music scene for several years now. With unprecedented view counts on YouTube, non-stop radio play, and even a hugely-successful USA concert tour (here’s our review of Static and Ben-El in New York)…these guys have enjoyed quite a taste of success in Israel.

So now they’re ready to take their careers to the next level.

Back in March, it was widely reported that Static and Ben-El Tavori signed with US record label Capitol Records, in a deal worth $5 million. The deal called for the boys to release seven English-language albums over ten years.

Static and Ben-El: “Broke-Ass Millionaire”

Well, the time has come. Their first single, “Broke Ass Millionaire”, was released today. And because you’re such big Israeli music fans…we have a feeling many of you will probably recognize the melody pretty fast.

[SPOILER ALERT] OK, we’ll spoil the surprise. The melody of the new song is identical to Static and Ben-El Tavori’s “Silsulim” – a mega-hit for them in Israel. Can they replicate their success abroad?

So…what do you think of the song? Catchy…or cringe-worthy?

Here’s more information on Static and Ben-El’s new English song from jpost.com.

A HUGE thanks to listener Shirley for bringing this to our attention!
