Yael Naim 創作女歌手，並擅長鋼琴演奏.1978年出生於巴黎。4歲去以色列生活。小時候看了電影amadeus後她便決定學鋼琴。之後在音樂學院學習了十年鋼琴。
後來，yael naim對其它音樂類型發生興趣而放棄了古典音樂。她爸爸聽的the Beatles 和 Aretha Franklin她都非常喜歡。從此她開始受到流行、民謠以及爵士的影響。接著Yael 開始嘗試作曲，也因此得以釋放自己害羞的個性。此後她也在以色列當地的一些爵士CLUB里演唱，之後兩年里她在服兵役。不過在服役期間她還是組了一個叫做ANTI COLLISION的樂團。
2000年，22歲，YAEL被ELIE CHOURAQUI發掘，讓她在Myriam里扮演Moïse的妹妹/姐姐，長達兩年之久。在此期間，她還演唱電影harrison’s flower的歌曲。
2001年，yael發行了第一張專輯“in a man’s womb”,這是她在paris和los angeles錄製的。可惜專輯並沒有馬上大賣，這又增加了yael的不自信。
2004年，yael認識了樂手david donatien，他們一起製作了新專輯。DAVID鼓勵她用猶太語，英語還有法語演唱,兩人在一起分享交流各自的的音樂經驗，花了2年的時間在Yael自己家的錄音室共同策劃製作這張同名專輯<Yael naim>，專輯歌曲以希伯萊語及英語演唱，樂器有鋼琴，吉他，沙羅，貝司，打擊，歌曲曲風輕巧攙雜著一些人聲，很多朋友，音樂人參與了歌曲的錄製，如laurent david , yoed nir ,xavier tribolet , julien feltin ,等等。這期間，她跟redy made fc這個樂團合作了“the only one”。
在home studio潛心兩年之後，yael的第二張專輯發行了，時間是2007年10月。主打歌就是new soul (MacBookAir 的廣告歌). 如果你喜歡Feist的1234，那么你也一定會喜歡專輯中的new soul-蘋果筆記本電腦Apple Macbook Air的廣告曲，輕靈、明朗。

[Biography]
Yael Naim and David Donatien
"It's a dream I almost gave up on along the way", says Yael Naim about her first album released by Tôt ou Tard. Without meeting the multi-instrumentalist David Donatien, to whom she dedicated two years and who illuminated the artist with his talents as arranger and director, it's true that this project would have been forgotten at the back of a cupboard. Blessed with an unsettlingly pure voice and an incredible agility at composition, the Israeli singer with her jet-black hair fumbled a long time before succeeding with this collection of ballads that meander through folk and pop, with an elegiac frugality and multi-coloured fantasy. If the creation of this record was long and painful, the birth of its author as an artistic personality seems even more miraculous today, in a domain where everything seems to have been already sung or played. To the point where with Yael Naim music that was once simply beautiful has now magically found a lost grace.
Born in 1978 in Paris, Yael spent a large part of her childhood in Ramat Hacharon, a small town not far from Tel Aviv. Her Tunisian parents went to live there when she was four years old. "I Remember there was a little organ which I'd tap my fingers on all the time. My interest in the instrument was so obvious, one day I got home from school and there was a real piano in my bedroom." Ten years of conservatory and classical piano lessons followed. "After I saw the film, Amadeus, there was only one thing I wanted to do and that was to write symphonies." Her idyll with classical music quickly revealed another. "At home my father would play his Beatles records and that's how I discovered Sgt Pepper and Abbey Road, aged 12. And also when I forgot my classical ambitions." Yael began composing songs which helped get over her timidityâ�amp;brvbar; With adolescence she discovered a voice and leant towards a vocal clarity by listening to Aretha Franklin. Aged 18 having come across a Joni Mitchell record she dared to push herself even further with her own lyrics. Music never left her and her curiosity never waned. In a jazz club in Tel Aviv she met Wynton Marsalis' musicians and performed some concerts with them. Even the two years of military service (which Israeli women are obliged to do) didn't stop her musical journey and she managed to form a group called The Anti Collision who played in clubs around the country. "After all these years everything was a bit chaotic inside. My classical education, my love of pop, the jazz, the folk... I didn't know how to bring it all together, but I knew I wanted to write songs."
It was an invitation to a charity concert that brought her to Paris in 2000 and saw things really start rolling. During the show, she was noticed by producers and four days later she had signed a contract with EMI and had an album on the boil. Her name really began to circulate after she was spotted by director Elie Chouraqui who asked her to play the role of Miriam (Moses' sister) in the Ten Commandments and then she was approached to do the original sound track for the film, Harrison's Flowers... "I hesitated but I don't regret having accepted because it was an amazing thing to live through for two and a half years." Her first album, In a Man's Womb, recorded between Paris and Los Angeles was finally released in 2001. For her it was a failure, "A huge deception because I'd given everything up for it. I suddenly lost a lot of confidence in myself which really led me to question everything." So the young woman with the golden voice was plunged into a period of disillusion concerning her record, the end of a relationship and a career ranging from jobs to survive (another musical, Gladiator) to edgier Collaborations (the album Ready Made FC).
Then there was the meeting in 2004 with David Donatien who was accompanying a friend on stage they had in common. A West Indian drummer, David had spent the last 15 years working with an extraordinary variety of people from Bernard Lavilliers to the electro musician Junior Jack, from Wassis Diop to Malia. As changeable with instruments as he is with genres, he moves from traditional drum kits to electronic tools. David has always made a point of not stopping at just the one vocation of rhythm, but throws himself into the role of arranger too. His skill and imagination has literally made Yael's musical universe bloom by giving a direction to her music and an aesthetic to her songs. Equally it was David who encouraged Yael to sing in Hebrew, something she had strictly denied herself up until now. Their complicity and complementary styles are such that now they prefer to present themselves as a group.
To begin with this album was meant to focus solely on guitar and vocals. But little by little Yael and David padded out the sonorous architecture and formed a team. Xavier Tribolet (drums), Laurent David (bass), Yoed Nir (cello) and Julien Feltin (electric guitar) joined them as well as S.Husky Huskolds for the mix (tom waits, Fiona Apple, Me'Shell Ndegeocello). The instrumentation is pretty minimalist here yet incredibly colourful with the participation of the brass section, the Mellotron, the cello and some programming. Recorded in the young woman's flat in Paris the 13 songs contain a part of Yael happy (Endless Song of Happiness) and melancholic (Paris, Lonely) existence. Some of them, like Yashanti or Lachlom dive into dreams, others like Baboker bathe in the serenity found at the break of day. Shelcha looks at a love with no future. The most outrageous is of course the cover of Britney Spears' Toxic. Listening to these little marvels could possibly remind us of old friends like Tori Amos or Fiona Apple. Yet the ensemble isn't witness to excessive borrowing or exaggerated sonorous marking, but quite the contrary revealing a sincerity and absolute musical clarity. In fact it is quite astonishing how something that sounds so familiar could seduce our ears with such a nude and original beauty. Perhaps it is due to the dominance of Hebrew, a language so rarely sung in this context, that comes across as universal as Cesaria Evora's Portuguese Creole? Or is it the simply the very freshness exhaled by the personality of this young woman who discovers in New Soul - sung in English with a contagious optimism â��that she is "a new soul, in this foreign world, hoping to learn a little"? "It was when I was really young that I sincerely believed to be an old soul reincarnated and I could even say it gave me a sense of superiority over others. But then as I subsequently did everything the wrong way round I concluded that it was actually my first time on earth and that I should learn to be a more humble." On Far Far, she herself delivers this other perspective, that of a little girl who chases her dreams but who can only achieve them by accepting the "beautiful mess inside". In short both her own personal history and that of this simply magical record.
