The single’s accompanying music video,HERE, titled ‘Stranger (Sunset Sound Performance)’, made its global broadcast premiere onMTV Live, MTVU, MTV Biggest Pop, and acrossMTV’s global network of channels, as well as on the Paramount billboards in Times Square, New York City.
“We are so excited to be releasing this new single, ‘Stranger’”, shared as1one.“With everything going on back home, we found a dual meaning in the song. It represents the feeling of coming back to something or someone that was once familiar to you – like a hometown or a loved one – and hoping the familiarity is not lost but instead remains.”
This is only the latest in what has been a busy week for the group. On Wednesday,Paramount+announced that they will be premieringAS1ONE: THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN POPMUSIC JOURNEY, a four-part docuseries on December 3rd. The docuseries chronicles the group’s formation, creative process, and brotherhood over a five-year period of becoming as1one, the next global pop group.
Watch the trailer HERE.
The docuseries is produced by The As1One Production Company, James Diener, Ken Levitan, and Ami Nir alongside Bruce Gillmer in association with Best Production Company for MTV Entertainment Studios.
Formed in the summer of 2022, as1one -Aseel Farah,Nadav Philips,Neta Rozenblat,Niv Lin,Ohad Attia, andSadik Abu Dogosh- was conceived following an extensive nationwide effort led by veteran industry hitmakers and music entrepreneurs James Diener and Ken Levitan, who respectively signed and developed Maroon 5 and Kings Of Leon.
After a rigorous training process, the sextet relocated to Los Angeles where they began writing and recording with some of the industry’s elite, including producer heavyweights Nile Rodgers (David Bowie, Madonna, Daft Punk, Beyonce), Jenna Andrews and Stephen Kirk (BTS’ ‘Butter’ and ‘Permission To Dance’), Oak Felder (Demi Lovato, John Legend), Justin Tranter (a go-to co-writer for Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Imagine Dragons and Chappell Roan), and Tommy Brown (Ariana Grande, The Weeknd).
Their session with Nile Rodgers resulted in the group’s first single,‘All Eyes On Us’, co-written and produced by Jenna Andrews and Stephen Kirk, and recorded at the historic Abbey Road Studios in London in August of 2023.
As reported in the group’sBillboard Digital cover feature last year, as1one arrived in Los Angeles on October 6th, 2023, one day before the start of the Israel-Hamas war. Despite being deeply affected by the news and ongoing conflict, the group, composed of Israeli-Jewish & Palestinian-Arab members, haven’t let anything obstruct the brotherhood they have built over the course of their time together. Through the collective power of music, the group is overcoming barriers, and hopes to inspire new generations to do the same, a sentiment more important now than ever before.
