 If Regina Spektor Were Israeli...

...she'd be Yael Naim. Naim's American debut album works the same turf Spektor's Begin to Hope and Far does, or Feist's The Reminder. Clever and catchy piano songs with fragile arrangmemts that draw you in. The first hook is that she sings her songs in English, French and Hebrew. The second was Apple's Airbook latching itself to Naim's "New Soul" single.
There's one more big hooking to this CD, and it's Naim's screwed down version of "Toxic." Naim takes one on Brittany Spear's signature songs and slows it down to a creepy lament. On an album that is filled with prettiness and airy folk-lite songs in foreign languages, "Toxic" is a shock. "New Soul" is still the best song (and most obvious hit) on the album, though.
That lack of obviousness will limit the appeal of "Yael Naim" to world music fans and hipsters who will take a smug irony is claiming Hebrew language songs are theirs. And those who came to Naim via Apple Adverts. But for fans of world pop who might have some David Broza in the player, you'll like her just fine. |

| If you like the sounds of French, with a mix of Hebrew and English then this is the perfect CD to purchase! Yael Naim's voice is incredible and the songs are equally so...! There's also a special cover that is done in a neat way. Lovely. Lovely. Lovely. |

| My Introduction to Yael Naim was a live performance on the "World Cafe". I had never heard of her before. Her voice just knock me out. I bought this CD that day. I was not disappointed when I heard it. Give the samples a listen you might have the same reaction I did. New Soul is a fun pop tune and her singing in different languages did not wear on me. It is a great example of how a voice can be a musical instrument |
