If you do not yet know the name Shahar Admoni then you should know, after competing in the “X Factor for Eurovision” program, Shahar Admoni is ready to devour the world. With a lot of ambition and talent, the Redheads released this morning (Wednesday) her new single called “Painful Pink”, we caught her a moment before for a special interview.
How was the work on the song?
“I wrote this song a year and a half ago. I was in a room and wrote it about someone who writes a song even when she knows she’s going to get hurt. I submitted this song to Session 42, the company I signed with. Because they write champions and we did the production with Tal Forer and Winon Yahel and that too is a crazy privilege. This is my first single! “
What inspired you to write the song?
“The truth is that when I wrote it I said ‘well, now you’re writing a song in the style of Osher Cohen’ and I tried to pretend he was the one writing the text because then I heard him a lot and he writes and produces for himself and I really connect with him. I said I would try to write a song he wrote and I tried to do it Only in the chorus and I do not know if it worked or not, but a song came out that I really connect to. “
This is actually the first single you release, what are the feelings?
“This is a first single, the truth is I’m very excited and I’m curious to know what everyone else thinks, about me, Dawn of the Ex, my lyrics and my style. All this year I’ve been working with Session 42, which is the recording company I signed to, A little more about me and Dawn.This song is kind of a line for the audience, I need the songs to be for the audience too, and I can not suddenly come hardcore, so we act gradually, and I very much hope that this song will succeed.I’m excited at levels, it’s my text too “At the end of the day, of course also of Sound and Ron. Along with the excitement it’s also much scarier that it’s like yours.”
How does it work with great composers like Cliff Sound and Ron Bitton?
“It’s a huge privilege, they really write and have done and will do songs that all of Eretz Israel sings. Really, I also have a huge privilege that they wrote my song with me and that they have a part in this song. “We are just a team that does not exist, and with the help of the name we will succeed.”
What artists are you inspired by?
“I take inspiration from a lot, I hear everything the truth. I take inspiration from Billy, from the vibe she brings and Metuna and his text which is also unique and in a space concept that I really like. Everything, and everything suddenly connected, and I also think that my line is a combination of space and blues and techno and ripples and pop. “
When did you start playing music?
“I started dancing from the age of 7-8. I started guitar lessons, doing rock solos and I would find myself every day making a real noise to the neighbors, doing Gans & Roses and Metallica solos and breaking my ears. I would come back from class every time and sing to me in the room. I would do “Secretly, I would not shout or sing out loud because it was a little more closed to me and I would not tell anyone that I sing until the age of 15 even. I started putting out covers and uploading stories that I sing and I have also been writing for about 3 years.”
How was the experience as an X Factor contestant?
“The experience was a bit not easy, I had a complex experience there. When I got in there I suddenly became a kind of zombie. Until just before the ex I was suffering from anxiety, really every day anxiety. , I sang well without fear. It happened until the third episode where I sang the soundtrack of my life, I had no anxieties and nothing until this episode. I sang that I did not hear anything and did not see anything, just an anxiety attack in the middle of the song. It also continued to the last episode, suddenly I’m not a zombie, suddenly yes I have fear. “Very open. But now that I look back, I knew really amazing people, also the ex’s team, from the stylists and the production, I really knew people there who made the experience much better for me.”
How was working with Ren?
“I worked with Ren, he’s really cute and a prince, I sat with him for a few sessions, rehearsals like this for ex and he really helped me and I really like him. A session some time ago, I really like her. “
Do you feel that the X Factor has helped you direct yourself to the musical line you want?
“Hard question. I sang more rock there. At the end of the day I did these combinations because I wanted to also look for why the audience is more connected. The truth? To this day I do not know what my line is too much but I think I kind of already understood it even before the ex “It’s hard with covers because it’s not mine and I know I sing my songs best and it sounds a little weird. But Lax was a part of my tuning and how I would be portrayed outside.”
What do you think of Michael Ben-David as a representative for the Eurovision Song Contest?
“Michael is one of the funniest and also his charisma. I would look at him in rehearsals with his mouth open. He puts a stripe and he sings to himself in the room and I look at it as another destination I want to take in my direction as well. The song also symbolizes that everyone is equal and that’s what the Eurovision needs “He’s the most Eurovision of all and everyone was good but he was really the most connected and I’ve burned on him.”
Any plans for the near future?
“Sure, we’re working on more materials. We’re long ago started making sketches and productions and with the help of the name another full full of surprises!”
What are your aspirations for the rest of your career?
“I have one ambition that is really central, that my name will be here for years to come, and that my audience will be an audience that is always with me and close to me and will not hear me because they hear me on tiktok, it’s aspirations that are a dream. I, and with the help of the name, that the songs will succeed and that I will make a way here. “
