Yael Naïm or Yaël Naïm (aka Yael Naim and יעל נעים, Hebrew), 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 Israel Defence Forces as a soloist in Israel 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. 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.

CORRECT THE SPELLING! Just look at the CD cover and her official site, she spells “Naim” with one point in the “i”

They should just merge them all, there's about ten ways of spelling her name, cos it's pronounced correctly with accents over both the e and the i.

It's definitely Naïm. I thought it was supposed to be Yaël too, but Last.fm doesn't think so >.<
