While you’re at it, read all about Yael in this new story from the World Jewish Digest, A New Soul in a Strange World, by Leah Hochbaum Rosner.

“On October 22 last year, a self-titled album from a little-known singer hit store shelves in France. Released on the label Tôt ou Tard and featuring a track called “New Soul,” the album debuted at number 11 on the French charts – a ranking that more than satisfied Yael Naim, the singer-songwriter behind the disc. After all, even though she’d slaved over it for more than two years, Naim didn’t expect much in terms of sales for an album that consisted mostly of Hebrew songs. Truth be told, she was just glad to see her record in stores.”
