Todrick Hall and On Mekahel Drop the Pill

On Mekahel is no stranger to turning heads, and with his latest single, “The Pill (featuring Todrick Hall),” the reality TV star-turned-pop artist is once again making a powerful statement. Just in time for Pride season, the high-energy track is an unfiltered celebration of queer nightlife, self-expression, and fearless living. Mekahel, who first gained notoriety on the REVRY reality series Putting On, has taken his experiences in the global gay party scene and distilled them into a sonic experience that fuses pulsating pop with elements of house, Middle Eastern rhythms, and European techno. Produced by Israeli duo Ido Nadjar and Ran Ziv, “The Pill” is more than a dance track—it’s an invitation to live boldly and authentically.

“The Pill” captures what it means to lose yourself in the music, to embrace spontaneity, and to pursue passion with zero apologies. “It’s a metaphor for seizing life’s most thrilling moments,” Mekahel explains. Whether it’s quitting a job to travel, falling in love in a foreign city, or simply dancing until sunrise, the song encourages listeners to let go of fear and chase joy. And while the track playfully nods to recreational drug culture, Mekahel is quick to clarify that it’s not a glamorization of substances, but an artistic reflection of his real-life experiences on the dance floor. For him, balance and responsibility are key—“have fun, but stay safe,” he insists.

The single also marks a daring creative evolution for Mekahel, especially following his previous release, “Last Time.” Venturing into rap and spoken word, he delivers raw, explicit lyrics that feel spontaneous and unfiltered, showcasing a new side of his artistry. It’s a sonic risk that pays off, bringing a gritty edge to the glossy, club-ready production. “The Pill” feels like a night out in sonic form: intense, sweaty, full of energy, and completely unforgettable.

A major highlight of the single is the collaboration with none other than Todrick Hall, the multitalented entertainer known for his powerhouse vocals, boundary-breaking visuals, and outspoken LGBTQ+ advocacy. The two met in Los Angeles and clicked immediately, bonding over their shared passion for music and queer representation. For Mekahel, working with Hall was a dream realized. “Watching Todrick lay down his vocals was like witnessing magic,” he says. “He brought the song to life in a way only he could.” Hall’s signature flair and confidence elevate “The Pill” into anthem territory, delivering a performance that pulses with personality and star power.

With over nine million followers and collaborations with pop royalty like Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, and Taylor Swift, Todrick Hall brings both credibility and charisma to the track. His appearance adds gravitas, connecting the dots between pop performance and queer storytelling. Hall has long used his platform to uplift LGBTQ+ voices, and teaming up with Mekahel on “The Pill” continues that mission of empowering listeners to live unapologetically.

For Mekahel, who was born in Israel and moved to New York after serving in the military to study acting at The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, the release is another major step in a multi-hyphenate career that includes his Mounderwear fashion label and a creative agency focused on social media and video production. Now based in Los Angeles with his husband, David Cederberg, Mekahel has made it his mission to build a brand—and a legacy—that defies expectations.

“The Pill (featuring Todrick Hall)” is set to drop on all major streaming platforms on May 1, 2025, perfectly timed to become this summer’s Pride anthem. As the dance floors fill and the celebrations begin, On Mekahel’s message rings loud and clear: life is short, the beat is irresistible, and now is the time to take the pill and dance like there’s no tomorrow.
