Amidst the flurry of albums and projects, sometimes a single track arrives that demands all the attention—and “War Boys” is that kind of song. Michal Gutman, renowned for building sonic universes with just her voice, bass, and a clutch of electronics, brings her latest vision to life with the release of this evocative single, the centerpiece of her 2025–2026 project.
“War Boys” stands apart, unapologetically forward in its ambition. The track pulses with Gutman’s signature bass motifs, weaving in and out of fractured rhythms and haunting synth lines. But it’s her vocal delivery—wild, theatrical, unafraid—that marks the song as uniquely hers. As she sings about the intersections of identity, catastrophe, and longing, listeners are pulled between anguish and hope.
The creative team working with Gutman—Yiftah Yeshurun, Tuval Brown, and Tamar Zinger—each add a flourish, but it remains clear that this single is her singular vision. “War Boys” refuses to fade into the background; it has the energy and depth to stand alone, even among Gutman’s consistently strong catalogue.
This is more than just a tease for things to come; “War Boys” solidifies its place as a landmark moment in the project, embodying the fearless spirit that marks all of Gutman’s most stirring works.
