Summary: One of a New Generation of Singer-Songwiters
Comment: One of my favorite emerging SS along with American, Arrica Rose... both these artists send forth a rich gamut of musical styles in their newest CDs with deliveries that are charismatic.Their music never gets dull or boring- each song brings a new dimension to their music. Check out Arrica Rose's new most powerful album La La Lost.

Summary: Worth a listen
Comment: 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

Summary: It Wears on You
Comment: The novelty factor in this album (she sings in several different languages) wears off quick. If you want world music I'd recommend the Putumayo CDs. This album here is dull and repetitious (though exciting at first because you have no idea what she's on about).

Summary: Yael Naim - Yael Naim
Comment: Yael Naim (2008, Warner) Yael Naim's first studio album. **1/2
Several female artists have had their breakthroughs due to their single being featured on a commercial (Sara Bareilles and Feist are just a few). Yael Naim is one of them. Her song "New Soul" is a catchy and bouncy simple piano ballad that grows to full orchestration as it reaches its peak, all the way assisted by Naim's accented lyrics. The song is not bad; it's not incredibly infectious and doesn't have the staying power of songs like "Love Song" and "1234," but then again, that may not have been the point. The album itself is a definitive hit-and-miss affair, with the misses being more notable than the hits. Naim sings in Hebrew (at least I think it is) occassionally, it doesn't sound pretty and doesn't fit the album. French has proven the only other language worthy on a label release. Not a terrible start, but not a great one, either.
