In a career that has developed over the course of the last 20 years, the Parisian-born, Franco-Israeli multi-instrumentalist, producer and singer songwriter has been on a restless quest to create a sound world of her own across a string of increasingly absorbing albums – none more so than her latest offering, NightSongs – which is out now via Tôt ou tard and distributed by Believe.
The material on NightSongs includes recent singles ‘How Will I Know’, ‘Shine‘ and ‘She’, plus the waltzing ‘Sweetheart’ which is accompanied by a video today produced by La Blogotheque Take Away Shows. A stunning video poignantly filmed in Paris, just a few hours before the country went into lock-down.
The whole album’s lyrical confessional nature and intimacy is also matched by Yael’s remarkable arrangements as well as the space within the music itself.
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.
