Video Lunch: Yael Naim - "New Soul"; Plus Her Britney Spears "Toxic" Cover

Thanks, Steve Jobs! Since Apple played her "New Soul" track for its MacBook Air commercials, the French-Israeli musician became an iTunes best-seller and made Number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. We didn't get to see her, though - as we did with Feist for the iPod Nano - so check out the official music video for "New Soul," in which Yael Naim semi-enters old paintings she hangs up in her empty apartment.

She's a little delicate and folk-y for my tastes, but it's hard not to like her. This track is from her self-titled album, which is actually her sophomore effort; her debut was called In a Man's Womb. Nice title!

Yael also has a much slower, pained cover of Britney Spears' "Toxic" track. Why did she pick it? I don't know ...
