Combining both rock influences and dance-pop influences, Israel-American Singer, Yoav Gerber has released a new EP entitled ‘Noon to Nine’. Exploring a new sound under a new artist’s name, Yoav Gerber has shown his talents in the leading single ‘Inspirational Song’ which sets the tone for the collection of work within the EP.
After a break from the music industry for five years, Yoav Gerber is back with complex melodies and powerful lyrics. The quality of the songwriting is obviously an important factor in Gerber’s musical career and each song features poetic lyrics and a thoughtful structure.
Showcasing his powerful vocal and leading each track, Gerber nods to influences of R.E.M as well as the power of rock and the individuality of indie music. The EP entitled ‘Noon to Nine’ was made in collaboration with well-known producer Shai Saadia in focussed nine-hour sessions which eventually inspired the EP name.
‘I’m not impressed by most things happening in music today, and think we have an image first culture… all in all, we have people who have never read a book writing lyrics, and other people who can’t tell a chord from a cord writing songs, so we shouldn’t be surprised that this is what we’re getting.’ – Yoav Gerber
The Leading single ‘Inspirational Song #12’, and ‘What Kind of Day Has It Been’ is scheduled for release on December 1st 2022 on all major streaming platforms.
