The lyrics come from many places. For example, in the new album there is a song with a line that I read in high school and suddenly it emerged. There is no rationale here whatsoever and nothing is lost, everything emerges at the right time. Ravitz is proud to be singing pop. Rock is a somewhat more amorphic label, she says, which she cannot really define in words.
Pop is something very precise and concise.
Compared with a classic Israeli song, pop is something more universal, yet it has to be like a gem or a ruby. Speaking the afternoon after the recently rejuvenated Israeli Song Festival, Ravitz maintains that the event was anything but Israeli. It could have been much more candid, simple, and cheap. I never really thought about an international career, I strongly believe that an Israeli singer who wants to go abroad must sing in Hebrew. This is the only way we will be identified with something special and not become similar to other singers with no clear roots or locale.
