In the course of his illustrious career, Hanoch has collaborated with many other prominent Israeli artists and has had a profound influence on the development of Israeli rock and pop music. His style evolves with time, yet consistently reflects deep introspection and engagement with social issues, combined with his signature musical vitality. His more recent works, such as "העיקר זה השירים" (Live), "נגד הרוח (הופעה חיה בלייב פארק)," and "לקרוע את ים סוף," continue to showcase his relevance and dynamism as an artist. Whether through the intensity of live performances or the craftsmanship of his studio albums, Shalom Hanoch continues to resonate with audiences, new and old, cementing his status as a living legend in Israeli music culture.
