In 1987, singer Haim Cohen—better known as Adam—went from relative obscurity in France to unprecedented pop sensation in Israel thanks to his mega-hit debut album, Sod. The record established his heartthrob status with a captivating, androgynous persona that contrasts his raspy rock vocals. Ardent balladry and epic anthems abound—all sax solos, power chords and reverb-drenched drums—like on “Nosaa Rahook”, the title track and the crushing, stadium-shaking synth-rock extravaganza “Ein Motza”.
