"Yael Naim is a French-Israeli singer and songwriter. Born in Paris in 1978, Naim moved at the age of four to the city of Ramat HaSharon, near Tel Aviv, Israel. Yael Naim was born in Paris in 1978 to Tunisian, Sephardi-Jewish parents. At the age of four, she moved with her family to Ramat HaSharon, Israel, where she spent her childhood and learned how to speak Hebrew. She served in Israel Defence Forces 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, was released in 2001. She also sang the song 'You Disappear' by Bruno Coulais for the film Harrison's Flowers directed by Elie Chouraqui. For her early work she was credited simply as Yaël.

Naim joined forces with percussionists David Donatien, and over a period of two years they arranged and recorded thirteen of Naim's songs in a studio in Naim's apartment in Paris, and these were released as her second album, Yael Naim, in 22 October 2007 on the Tôt ou tard label. The songs are in French, English, and Hebrew and received critical acclaim, and the album entered the French album chart at No. 11 the week after its release. The 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 slightly husky voice. In January 2008, Apple featured her song 'New Soul' in its debut commercial for the MacBook Air laptop--giving the single near-instant publicity."
