Yael Naïm - Toxic

This is off of Yael Naïm’s latest album, which comes out on Tuesday, the 18th. One way to describe her album is … beautiful. It’s absolutely gorgeous! It’s mainly acoustic French pop. (Perhaps I just made up a new genre? Naaaah…) She sings in Hebrew and in English, yet the album has a very French sound. (Be sure to check out her song Paris on her Myspace page)

I love this cover of Toxic. It reminds me of an eerie circus. The swirling ascending/descending synth and xylophone sounds enhance that feeling. Covers are a great way to interpret someone else’s song. I really like what she did with this one. It’s a completely different song!

There’s something about this song. “Toxic” has been coverd so well by such a diverse group (the sinfully sexy Mark Ronson et al, Nickel Creek, etc.) This is certainly the cream of the crop. Mesmerizing!
