4 out of 5 stars How's your Hebrew?   April 13, 2008

Like many people, I got this album because of the MacBook Air laptop ad featuring the track "New Soul", which is already released as a single. Yael Naim is a French artiste now living in Israel, and the tracks are in Hebrew, French and English. br / br /She has a distinctive singing voice, and specializes in sultry jazzy numbers, sometimes with a folksy lilt. The song of the album is of course "New Soul", and there's an unusual, unexpected and very strange interpretation of "Toxic", originally sung by Britney Spears. br / br /Other tracks to note are: br / br /"Paris" - sung in Hebrew and French, which translated is an ode to her favorite city. br / br /"Too Long" - a plaintive song in English where she sings "I waited for so long / Outside myself / You see I was pretending / To be someone else" br / br /"Shelcha" - a slow Enya-type song in Hebrew and English br / br /"Lonely" - a minimalistic, simple, melancholy song in English, definitely NOT a karaoke song br / br /"Far Far" - another single, in English, that goes "How can you stay outside? / There's a beautiful mess inside" br / br /"Lachlom" - a dreamy song in Hebrew br / br /"Pachad" - jazzy piano intro leading into French lyrics br / br /A great easy-listening album for when you're in the mood for something new and a little different. br / br / br / br /Amanda Richards

Every indie singer hopes for that "big break". That "one song" that will vault them into the limelight. br /Unfortunately very few ever get that. br /Yael Naim, a French-Israeli singer/ songwriter got her big break when Apple decided to useher song New Soul in its Macbook advertising campaign. br /The rest, for her, is history. br /New Soul is, for the most part, unlike anything else on this album. Most of it has this cool, jazzy, sultry feel that reminds me of artists like Sophie Millman. Yael has a beautiful voice. The French and Israeli songs may not be to everybody's tastes, but once you get over that, you can really fall for her seductive tone. The French song Paris, a nice acoustic song, has quite a catchy melody. The Hebrew song Levater is also one of my faves. br /If you like Sophie Millman, Diana Krall, or other artists of her ilk, you may want to pick this one up.
