For Noa Kirel's English debut, “Please Don’t Suck,” the 20-year-old interpolates a song written a half-century before her birth — 1954 barbershop ditty “Mr. Sandman'
Indeed, “Please Don’t Suck,” and its accompanying hot pink-themed, ponytailed, dance-heavy video poking fun at lame guys, is tailor-made for a bite-sized homage, from its lyrics to the symbolic, if a tad overused, lollipop. And then there’s that “Mr. Sandman” melody underscoring the verses — credit co-writers The Monarch for coming up with it — making the song instantly memorable.
To hear Kirel tell it, she owns her choices, from visuals to fashion to hair, makeup and dance moves, which is how she can make aKirel spoke toWas there a lot of music in your house growing up? All the time. I would be singing and dancing in the living room, and I’d make everybody sit and watch me and clap their hands at the end. I always listened to American pop music like Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce. And the English language works well with my voice.
When I heard it, I was, like, wait, I know this song! I worked with producers the Monarch. We wrote the verses and everything felt young and cool and super catchy. With the “Mr. Sandman” [interpolation] at the beginning, it makes you feel like you know this song and you know what’s gonna come. You know, when I started, there were no young girl singers in Israel. I was 13 and, at the beginning, it felt weird for people. Not coming from America like a Britney Spears or a Beyonce, it was hard for people to understand me. So I did take a lot of criticism and a lot of things were said about me which was hard to hear at 13, 14. … But I thought that a day will come when people understand everything — that what I’m doing is right and it’s what I believe in.
