She was born in Par… Read Full Bio ↴Yaël Naïm is a French-Israeli singer and songwriter.
She was born in Paris in 1978 to Jewish-Tunisian parents. At the age of four, she moved with her family to Ramat HaSharon, Israel, where she learned Hebrew and trained as a pianist. She served in the Israel Defence Forces as a soloist in the Israeli 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. According to a Songfacts interview with her, it disappointed Yael, who decided she would be much happier giving up her dreams of stardom and making music on her terms.
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.
Naïm joined forces with percussionist David Donatien, and over a period of two years they arranged and recorded thirteen of Naïm's songs in a studio in Naïm's own appartment in Paris, and these were released as her second album, Yael Naim, in the fall of 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 #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, her song "New Soul" was featured in the debut commercial for the MacBook Air laptop. The song gained fame from being featured in the ad, and it has peaked, as of February 1 2008, at #2 on the iTunes Top 100 Downloaded Songs.

In Yashanti, Yael Naim sings about embracing peace and harmony. The lyrics talk about the desire to live a peaceful life, free from conflict and hatred. The repetition of the phrase "yashanti, yashanti" throughout the song emphasizes its importance in achieving inner peace, as well as peace with others.
The song also touches on the idea of forgiveness and letting go of grudges. The lines "forgive their misdeeds, let them all go" suggests that holding onto anger and resentment only creates discord and prevents true peace from being achieved.
The final stanza of the song encourages listeners to take action towards creating a peaceful world. The repetition of the phrase "let's create, let's create" urges us to actively work towards building harmony and unity among all people.
Overall, Yashanti is a beautiful and contemplative song that speaks to the universal desire for a more peaceful world.
