Yael Naim

Since the groundbreaking success of her song “New Soul”—which reached number one on the singles charts in France, the United States, and several other countries, and entered the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100—Yael Naim has been composing and producing not only for herself, with four albums to date, but also for a range of other artists and film soundtracks. She has been awarded three Victoires de la Musique (2008, 2011, and 2016) and was named an Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters. Yael has collaborated with numerous artists including Brad Mehldau, the Metropole Orkest, Jules Buckley, Stromae, Rone, Orlan, and many others—cultivating both personal expression and creative dialogue. In 2021, she chose independence to push even further in her pursuit of a unique sound and full artistic freedom. She directed and produced an ambitious album that fuses classical music, electronic textures, and orchestration, carried by provocative, personal, and committed lyrics dealing with themes of individual freedom and breaking free from limiting beliefs. https://www.yaelnaim.fr/
