Yael Naim

If you have seen the latest commercial from Apple, you already know Yael Naim. With her catchy song "New Soul" blowing up all over the world, it should also be made known that Yael's entire CD is also a magical piece of art. She was born in Paris, grew up in Israel, and is now pursuing a musical career back in Paris. Half of her songs are in Hebrew, but similar to Sigur Ros, doesn't slow down the power of the music for people who only speak English. I think that a fair and weighty evaluation of her will land her in a similar category to Sufjan Stevens. They both have a playful way about their performance, and both also tap into a mysteriously spiritual space of tone. Please check her out if you get a chance.
