YAEL NAIM SHARES VIDEO FOR NEW TRACK ‘SHINE’

The song’s ghostly atmosphere is captured in its accompanying video. The renowned performance artist and acrobat Yoann Bourgeois choreographed Naim to move on a BOSU ball. The result is a striking, almost balletic performance in which Naim appears to defy gravity as she contorts her body. Director of photography Martim Vian (Moses Sumney’s ‘Worth It’) employs shadows and sporadic lighting to magnify the artist’s almost otherworldly movements.
 
The loss of Yael’s beloved father, Daniel, is of two themes that dominate the ‘NightSongs’ album – the other being the birth of her second child. These huge changes in her life inspired a new spell of self-discovery, which in turn changed how she approached songwriting. The songs – darker and deeper than before – were for the first time written, arranged and produced entirely independently. The result is the most remarkable, unguarded and absorbing album of her career.

Yael Naim will follow the release of ‘NightSongs’ with a European headline tour in April, followed by a New York show in May and select summer festivals. Tickets can be purchased HERE.
