Tel-Aviv based singer-songwriter-producer Gur Gordon, also known as Good Gordon, has recently released a second single, "BA'AVODA," out of his Hebrew debut album "KMO YELED." Drawing inspiration from Tel-Aviv's nightlife scene, this album is a love letter to the queer community, dealing with subjects such as substance abuse, sex, love, and loneliness.

After five years of producing and writing for other indie artists, and with an English language debut album soon to be released, Good Gordon found new boundaries which for him are much more crucial to breaking.

During the first 20 minutes of a writing session with 'HAMANORECORDS' artists Calldonn (producer of "BA'AVODA") and Arumi ("PRTRAT," "KATLA"), 'BA'AVODA' was finished. Gordon knew he had to shift direction towards this new material when writing the lyrics - "I Came early and cooked, but you weren't hard" (From "BA'AVODA").

These lyrics evoked a new ground for him, and a path opened for Hebrew songs that have never been sung before, a way to voice and amplify non-mainstream feelings of manhood.
