Those who are not fans of musicals or Elie Chouraqui films, have surely never heard of Yael Naim before this year. In fact, it was only after contributing to Dix Commandements amongst others and releasing a first, anonymous album that this young Paris-born Isralien met with success. And what success! Launched by the hit New Soul, Yael Naim is without contest the female discovery of the year. After two years working in her home studio with collaborator David Donatien, Yael Naim has reset all her clocks and released a second exhilarating album Between folk pop and tradiontal music, Yael Naim has unveiled a repertoire of astonishing beauty tracing out lyrics over melodies that are made to measure her sweet voice and feminine universe. In concert, surrounded by passionate musicians, like Liegeois Xavier Tribolet, she lets herself go and shows off her playful side that we already sense when hearing her sublime interpretation of Britney Spears' Toxic. One of the great dates of the Ardentes 2008!
