She topped the charts with the planetary hit “New Soul” in 2007 and her stirring voice and irresistible melodies have filled concert halls, radio waves and headphones ever since. Yael Naim tells us why reaching a personal and artistic crossroads led her to experiment with a new minimalist sound and new production techniques, and why embracing optimism is a political choice today.

The Franco-Israeli musician also explains why the visual arts are an integral part of her musical process and how that has fed into the directing and editing of her videos.

Naim also discusses her activism in the wake of the events of October 7, 2023, and why using her voice to call for peace has become as important as using it to make music. 

Yael Naim will be performing at the Olympia in Paris on March 23, 2027.
