Promoting his new tour, Ivri Lider has released this week a new version of the song “Bahom Shel Tel Aviv” (‘In the Heat of Tel Aviv’), a song that he originally wrote in 2004 for Mediterranean-Israeli-music-queen Sarit Hadad, and which became a number one hit for the singer. In the song, Ivri presents the true face of an average girl in the unnatural surroundings of a rich and cool people’s party in Tel Aviv, and even the guy in the most expensive Mercedes car is not her type.
The song was crowned Most Played Tel Aviv Song over the past decade, and ended up becoming even a hit in China after Hong-Kong-based popstar Yumiko Cheng has recorded a cover version to the song.
