OK, I’ll be completely honest, Noa Kirel – the current undisputed Queen of Israeli Pop – does absolutely nothing for me. But with all due respect, a multi-million dollar contract with Atlantic Records ain’t nothing to be sneezed at!
Once labeled the Britney Spears of Israel, Noa Kirel has fast become a thing here in Israel, and has been making the news constantly since she first grabbed attention on YouTube at the age of 14. The now 19-year-old has been dropping hit records, appearing in Israeli films, and appearing on popular TV shows ever since.
But with the announcement that she has been snapped up for millions of dollars by Atlantic Records, home to such artists as Bruni Mars and Cardi B, it looks like international fame and fortune await!
Currently serving in the IDF, she has signed the most lucrative record deal ever for an Israeli (the last major deal for an Israeli was Asaf Avidan’s inking with Sony-Columbia back in 2009).
We’ll take our hat off to her and her team, as signing for a huge US label is still a BIG thing…even if her pouty gyrating leaves us stone cold!
