In a futuristic take on his song Hang Up The Phone from his album Leap of Faith, Lipa Schmeltzer teams up with producer and director Danny Finkelman to tackle our generation's ever growing infatuation with gadgets head on, in a music video that is equal parts science fiction and practical advice for today's technologically obsessed society. Hang Up The Phone is an original Lipa composition and the sixth track on the newly released Leap of Faith album, with hard hitting lyrics in both English and Yiddish, written by Lipa.
At just over six minutes long, the video offers a light hearted look at what we become when we spend more time interacting with our electronics than with our families and the people around us.
A SparksNext Production, Finkelman and cinematographer Mauricio Arenas breathe life into Hang Up The Phone, creating a presentation that will hopefully inspire viewers to strike the necessary balance, enabling them to take advantage of today's technology in a responsible manner.

this is the new direction of jewish music, techno and auto-tune
simply garbage
i think lipa should be singing something more like this < i walk into a jewish wedding and all i hear is goyishe music> while non kosher phones are a problem hearing a jewish singer sing non jewish music at jewish weddings is alot bigger problem and affects us more and brings us down
I loved the song, but then felt like I lost something when my 14 yr. old daughter(pretty with it ) told me she felt uncomfortable listening to the song as it didn’t sound, feel, or look right
