Yanai Kate is a band from Tel Aviv that released their first EP, Summer Feeling, in 2016. The song Summer Feeling became their breakout track, gaining attention for its summery feel and Yanai Azulay's vocals. They followed with singles like Life is Good in 2018 and All I Want in 2020, then another EP called Waves in 2022.
Their sound mixes pop with folk and reggae elements, built around Azulay's singing and Kateh Kadosh's guitar work. Maya Blaustein plays drums and Yinon Yaakobi is on bass. Early on, they faced some criticism for being unconventional, but Summer Feeling found an audience anyway.
At one point, there were plagiarism accusations about Life is Good, though those didn't stick. The band kept putting out music through 2022. They've played festivals and had songs placed in films and TV shows.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
