Weekend Videos: Noga Erez – “PC People”

Noga Erez continues to build anticipation for her forthcoming album The Vandalist with the release of her latest single, “PC People.” This track echoes the brilliance of her breakthrough hit “Views,” though it delves into a more apocalyptic realm, reflecting a world steeped in chaos and disillusionment.

From the outset, “PC People” makes a bold statement. The track features a driving bass and eerie synths, creating a dark, dystopian atmosphere. The production blends shimmering pop elements with raw head-nodding drums and a pulsating rhythm, capturing the song’s thematic tension with both grandeur and grit.

This track isn’t just a critique but a daring exploration of the excesses of “woke” culture and its potential hypocrisy. The exploration is both nuanced and bold, questioning whether political correctness might stifle genuine expression. “PC People” tackles significant questions about free speech and art’s role in challenging norms, delivered with Erez’s characteristic wit and incisiveness.

Long-time collaborator and life partner ROUSSO plays a crucial role, contributing his sardonic delivery and dynamic energy to the hook. His blunt lyrics—“I’m pissing on your PC, this isn’t fucking Disney”—embody their frustration with contemporary discourse. His vocal presence is reminiscent of their previous work, particularly the aforementioned “Views,” but with a more intense and confrontational edge. In the third verse, ROUSSO and Erez engage in a playful yet pointed lyrical exchange, showcasing their undoubted chemistry.

The video for “PC People” presents a series of striking, surreal images. Erez employs vivid and sometimes jarring visuals to reflect the song’s critique of cultural norms. This visceral experience prompts viewers to consider the balance between artistic freedom and societal expectations.

PC People” is a compelling preview of The Vandalist. Noga Erez’s latest single offers a provocative and engaging perspective on current cultural debates, venturing into areas where other artists might hesitate. As anticipation builds for the album’s release, this track is a thought-provoking addition to Erez’s already impressive discography.
