Naim

After exploring his music with the band Sounds of Jimi (2020), Thomas Naim takes on a true challenge: to revisit the rich world of Jimi Hendrix, solo, with an acoustic guitar. "May This Be Love" is the result of a long introspective process where the inimitable universe of the Seattle guitarist intersects with the unique perspective of the artist behind the recently acclaimed 'On The Far Side'.

Quatre ans après She Was A Boy, Yael Naim revient avec son side-man David Donatien pour Older, un album mature de par sa grande musicalité et ses perles à ne pas rater. Le bluesy Dream In My Head se transforme en petite envolée vocale touchante, Trapped rythme l’album par une présence certaine, à travers une atmosphère soul, tandis que Coward, piano-voix intimiste ponctué d’un lyrisme indéniable, est sûrement la plus belle réussite de l’opus, et s’avère être un titre très puissant dont les polyphonies révèlent de délicates harmonies baroques. La Chevalière de l’ordre des Arts et des Lettres revient donc pour notre plus grand plaisir.

2007 sophomore album from the Paris-born and Israel raised singer, songwriter and musician who has also recorded under the name Yael. This album, which features songs sung in French, English and Hebrew, features the worldwide sensation 'New Soul', a track that has gained fame as being the music played during Apple's Macbook Air ad campaign in 2008.

Entre jazz, blues et rock, « Desert Highway » possède une dimension visuelle très forte. L’album génère des climats qui ne sont pas sans évoquer ceux des B.O. des films de David Lynch ou l’atmosphère musicale de Ry Coder.
