0

Award-winning songwriting team Erica Rabner and Brian Blake will release their first Jewish EP, “Hanukkah! Chanukah! Hannukah!” with Platoon on November 18, 2022. The release follows the success of their movement album, “Stomp, Shake, & Shuffle” in October and three Jewish holiday-themed singles released over the past two years.

In 2020, when Erica and Brian released their first Jewish single, “do you like latkes?” their fans, family and friends emphatically responded, “We love them so much!” Their new 6-song EP builds on that same approach of modernizing old traditions with contemporary pop sensibilities. They celebrate their favorite parts of the holiday, from eating sufganiyot (jelly donuts!) and latkes to dreidel-induced stomachaches (what? We’re Jewish…of course, we love food! ).

This year, they bring another important question to the table: how do you spell (c)hanuk(h)ah? ! The subject of their second single was inspired by Erica trying to figure out what to name the EP and how to pronounce the holidays. These important questions led her down a fun research rabbit hole (she’s a researcher, so it was really fun) and a very inclusive (and SEO-friendly) EP title 😉

Along with their five original songs, Erica and Brian pack six other favorites into an upbeat medley. This EP is dedicated to Erica’s paternal grandmother, Stella, who made the best latkes.
