Fresh Face | Yael Naim
While French-Israeli singer YAEL NAIM isn't really a newbie, the soulful folk-pop singer is really starting to take off.
If you've seen the new MacBook Air commercials, you will have heard Naim's song "New Soul." This charming and eclectic song is only one of two English-speaking songs off of Naim's 2007 self-titled album (the other is a minimalistic and sultry cover of Britney Spears' "Toxic.")
Other songs off the album, released on the Tot ou tard label, are in French and Hebrew and reveal jazzy, folky roots. Naim's first solo album, In A Man's Womb, came in 2001.
Since "New Soul" has been featured in Mac's commercial, the song has skyrocketed to No. 5 on the iTunes singles chart. So, her seeming anonymity in North America won't be lasting for too much longer.
