Yael Naim ...

'' A touch of folk and a touch of jazz,with mysterious and evocative words sung with a delicate and intentionally husky voice '' ...

Yael Naïm (Hebrew: יעל נעים‎, born 6 February 1978 in Paris, France), is an Israeli-French singer-songwriter. She rose to fame in 2008 in the US after her hit single " New Soul " was used by Apple in an advertising campaign for its ''MacBook Air''. The song peaked at No. 7 on the ''Billboard Hot 100''.

Les Victoires de la Musique

Yael Naïm was born in Paris, France to Sephardic Jewish immigrants from Tunisia. At the age of four, she moved with her family to Ramat HaSharon, Israel, where she spent the rest of her childhood. She served in the Israel Defense Forces as a soloist in the Israeli Air Force Orchestra.

She began her singing career with a part in the musical ''Les Dix Commandements'' and her first solo album, '' In a Man's Womb '' (recorded in Los Angeles with Kamil Rustam), was released in 2001. She also sang the song "You Disappear" by Bruno Coulais for the film ''Harrison's Flowers''. In her early work, she was credited simply as Yaël. She also performed a duet with Din Din Aviv titled "Mashmauyot".

Naïm joined with percussionist David Donatien and, over a period of two years, they arranged and recorded thirteen of Naïm's songs in a studio in her apartment in Paris. These were released as her second album, '' Yael Naïm '', on 22 October 2007, on the Tôt ou tard label. The songs are in French, English and Hebrew and received critical acclaim. The album entered the French album chart at No. 11 the week after its release. Her style has been described as having a touch of folk and a touch of jazz, with mysterious and evocative words sung with a delicate and intentionally husky voice.

In January 2008, Apple featured her song " New Soul " in its debut commercial for the MacBook Air laptop. Steve Jobs himself picked the song "New Soul" for the launch of the MacBook Air. Owing to high U.S. digital sales, the song debuted on the '' Billboard Hot 100 '' for the chart week of 16 February 2008, at No.9, becoming Naïm's first U.S. top ten single, and making her the first Israeli solo artist to ever have a top ten hit in the United States. "New Soul" moved up to No.7 the following week. The song was also featured on the soundtrack of the movies ''The House Bunny'' and ''Wild Target''.

Her third album was released in November 2010.
The first single from this new record was " Go To The River ".

Yael Naim "Coward"

C à vous

"Coward"

I miss my friends and my guitar
And knowing I can travel far
But now I'm only standing here
Completely paralyzed with fear

The fear of who I'll come to be
Of all the weaknesses in me
I truly thought I was prepared
But now I'm panicked and I'm scared

But how did I become a coward?
How did I become a coward?
How did I become a coward?
How did I become a coward?
(Coward, coward, coward...)

I lived alone and I was free
To do whatever came to me
But I was craving to share
If only I could ever dare

To care for someone else but me
If our two created three?
But can I let go of the thrill
Turn it into something real

But how did I become a coward?
How did I become a coward?
How did I become a coward?
How did I become a...
How did I become a...
How did I become a coward?
(Coward, coward, coward...)

Little girl, little boy
Do you feel my fear and do you feel my joy?
Now you've entered my body
Straight to my heart and into my soul
Come, grow

And now a voice inside my head
Is telling me to go ahead
You're not (coward! coward!)

But how did I become a coward?
How did I become a coward?
How did I become a coward?
How did I become a coward?
How did I become a...
How did I become a...
How did I become a coward?

Yael Naim - Toxic

Yael Naim

"Toxic"

Baby, can't you see
I'm falling
A guy like you
Should wear a warning
It's dangerous
I'm fallin'

There's no escape
I can't wait
I need a hit
Baby, give me it
You're dangerous
I'm lovin' it

Too high
Can't come down
Losing my head
Spinning 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now

With a taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slipping under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic

It's getting late
To give you up
I took a sip
From my devil's cup
Slowly
It's taking over me

Too high
Can't come down
It's in the air
And it's all around
Can you feel me now

With a taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slipping under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic

Don't you know that you're toxic

[x2]
With a taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slipping under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic

Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now
I think I'm ready now
Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now

I think I'm ready now

Yael Naim - Dream In My Head

D8

''Dream In My Head''

I got a seed in my hand
Just looking for a way
Just looking for a way
To grow strong

I cross the water
I cross the land
I let all the people
Leave me blind

I search for answers
Wanting to find
A way to reveal
what lies we hide

I have the strongest feeling that I should try
I got to know myself, now I could cry
This is the end of pretending now I know why
I have to prove myself , no longer try to hide

I've got a story to tell

Just waiting for the day
Just waiting for the day
To be told

I got this anger and pain
Just waiting for my shame
Just for waiting for my blame
To get old

I saw some children playing with guns
I can't believe what we've become
I found some letter written by god
They where signed with our own blood

I have this strongest feeling that I decide
I got to know myself, now I could die
This is the end of my wait and maybe to lie
I might prove myself , but no longer need to hide

So I might prove myself I no longer no longer need to hide

I have this strongest feeling that I decide
I've come to know me better, now I could die
This is the end of the wait and maybe to lie
I might lose myself , I no longer need no longer need , no longer need to hide

I no longer need to hide
