Release Notes:
Yael Na∩m was born in Paris, France to Tunisian
Sephardi-Jewish parents. 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 Force as a soloist in
the Israel 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 Yaδl. She also performed a
duet with Din Din Aviv titled "Mashmauyot".
Na∩m joined with percussionist David Donatien, and
over a period of two years they arranged and
recorded thirteen of Na∩m's songs in a studio in
Na∩m's apartment in Paris,and these were released
as her second album, Yael Na∩m, on 22 October 2007,
on the T⌠t ou tard label. The songs are in French,
English, and Hebrew and received critical
acclaim.[4] The album entered the French album
chart at #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 February 16, 2008, at
#9, becoming Na∩m'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 #7 the following week. The song was
also featured on the soundtrack of the movie The
House Bunny.
Her third album was released in November of 2010.
The first single from this new record will be "Go
To The River".
