Israeli-Palestinian pop group as1one – launch debut single with Nile Rodgers

as1one, pop music’s highly buzzed about first Israeli-Jewish and Palestinian-Arab male pop group, released their long-awaited debut single ‘All Eyes On Us’ today to all streaming and digital services through leading independent label services company Thirty Tigers. 
 
Featuring legendary guitarist, Rock And Roll and Songwriters Hall Of Famer, and Grammy Award winning music icon Nile Rodgers, the track was co-written and produced by Jenna Andrews and Stephen Kirk (BTS’ ‘Butter’ and ‘Permission To Dance’), and was recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London.  Boasting a thumping, infectious beat, with an anthemic, high energy chorus, ‘All Eyes On Us’ perfectly showcases why as1one are poised to be pop music’s next secret weapon, and marks the first of what will be a healthy slate of new music to come this year and beyond. 

The accompanying music video, which features footage of the group in-the-studio with Nile not only captures the group’s natural sense of style and charisma, but the camaraderie they’ve built since they first came together two years ago. 

The release comes on the heels of as1one’s recently released teaser video, which is now available via the group’s official YouTube channel.  Designed to introduce the group to worldwide audiences, the video features captivating and emotional footage of as1one’s journey coming together and has impressively racked up well over half a million views since its release in just a week’s time.  Later this year, Paramount+ will release a ground-breaking four-episode docuseries following the group’s artistic journey and personal struggles as they come together to bring their debut music and message of unity to the world.
 
Formed in the summer of 2022, as1one – Ohad Attia, Sadik Abu-Dogosh, Aseel Farah, Niv Lin, Nadav Philips and Neta Rozenblat  – were 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’), Jason Evigan (Maroon 5, Justin Bieber, Benson Boone), 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 recording with Nile Rodgers for ‘All Eyes On Us’, co-written and produced by Jenna Andrews and Stephen Kirk, took place at the historic Abbey Road studios in London in August of 2023.
 
As reported in the group’s November 2023 Billboard Digital cover feature, 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 pop music, the group are overcoming barriers, and hope to inspire new generations to do the same; a sentiment more important now than ever before
