Yael Naim au Pigalle Club
Yael Naim returns to UK shores for two headline shows at London’s Pigalle Club on September 9 & 10 !!
2008 has already been a fantastic year for Yael Naim – her single ‘New
Soul’ released earlier this year to a wealth of critical acclaim and
featured on the MacBook Air advert, enjoyed Top 40 chart success in the
UK following its digital release, and more than eight weeks in the
Official UK Singles Chart. This successful track made her the third
French artist ever to enter the UK Charts!
‘New Soul’ is taken from the eponymous album Yael Naim (Atlantic), a disarmingly unique and rich collection of songs.
This fabulous album is born from the meeting of Paris-born,
Israeli-raised Yael Naim, and David Donatien, a West Indian drummer.
The two sat down to share their rich musical experiences, combining
Yael’s classical education and love of pop and jazz. This collaboration
lead into recording 13 beautifully arranged compositions, with
instrumentation of piano, guitar, cello, bass and percussion. While the
mood ranges from melancholic to sweeter and hopeful notes, she carries
intimate feeling throughout her songs with an unsettlingly pure voice.
Yael’s enchanting live show is suitably reflective of the incredible
artistic dexterity displayed throughout the album, as proven at her
iTunes Festival and Scala appearances in London earlier this year.
With a multi-coloured collection of ballads sung in French, Hebrew and
English, she comes back for the Londoners' pleasure for two headline
shows, at Pigalle Club, Sept. 9th & 10th.
