Actor and singer James Maslow recently released a single in collaboration with Israeli artists that celebrates Israel and showcases his solidarity with the Jewish state amid its war against Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n

The Jewish artist, who is famously known for his leading role in the Nickelodeon series \u201cBig Time Rush\u201d and as a member of the platinum-selling band of the same name, released on Oct. 3 a track titled \u201cOn My Mind,\u201d featuring Shahar Saul, one of Israel\u2019s up and coming rappers, and Israeli vocalist Maya Dadon. \u201cOn My Mind\u201d combines \u201cinternational pop with Middle Eastern influences, reflecting the diversity and vibrancy of Israel itself,\u201d according to a media release about the single.<\/p>\n

The music video for the song was filmed in Israel during the Gaza war and is \u201cboth a visual love letter to the country and a reminder of the resilience of its people.\u201d The video was made in partnership with Birthright Israel Foundation.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018On My Mind\u2019 is about connection, resilience, and remembering those who cannot be forgotten,\u201d Maslow said in a released statement<\/a>. \u201cFilming in Israel, during such a difficult time, was my way of showing solidarity with a country and people I deeply respect. Working with two incredible Israeli artists made the project even more meaningful.\u201d<\/p>\n

During an interview Monday on \u201cCUOMO,\u201d Maslow said the song celebrates Israel\u2019s \u201cdiversity, the acceptance, and all the things that I know to be true about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been over there shooting the video to utilize this as hopefully a bridge to bring a bit of a better light to Israel, to Judaism, and hopefully start a conversation where people may realize, \u2018Oh, wait a second, I may not have all the facts or I might be being misled right now,’\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have normalized antisemitism to the likes of which I never thought that I would see in my life,\u201d Maslow said. \u201cThat\u2019s not OK. And that\u2019s why I created this song. And that\u2019s why I\u2019m here today and why I\u2019m standing up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maslow timed the release of \u201cOn My Mind\u201d to have it debut mere days before the second anniversary of the deadly Hamas terrorist attack that took place in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Maslow traveled to Washington, DC, to join commemorations for the second anniversary of the Oct. 7 massacre.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn My Mind\u201d is streaming on all major platforms. Watch the music video below.<\/p>\n
