Editor's note

Harel Skaat, the Israeli singer with ska in his pop

A songwriter who blends Shlomo Artzi's ballads with Jamaican rhythms, known for hits like "Milim" and his 2010 Eurovision appearance.

For a quick sense of his sound, try "Muvan Li Achshav" or "Hare'ut." They're clean, melodic pop songs that frame his style without much fuss.

Skaat's music matters because it quietly bridges Israeli pop tradition with unexpected textures. Songs like "Sof" show his knack for straightforward, melodic writing, while his early single "Milim" first caught ears in 2006. That blend, part Shlomo Artzi influence, part ska rhythm, gives his catalog a specific, lived-in feel.

He started with the album "Shirim Le'aviv" in 2004 and has released five studio records, most recently "Hamkom Haba" in 2018. In 2010, he represented Israel at Eurovision and faced plagiarism claims over "Shemesh," which he publicly addressed.
