3.0 out of 5 stars A decent Buy, February 2, 2008

Like most I was hooked by the song "New Soul" in the Mac Air ad. So I march to the store and get the CD (I still like CD's, something about the smell-anyway...), and play her in my car right away. I didn't feel the need to skip one song which is very rare! This is a very well written, well sung and thoughtful and mellow pop album. I liked it. I will say that "new soul" sounds a little out of place even though it's a brilliant song. So this girl kind of reminds me a little of Regina Spektor and a lot of Fiona Apple but she's got her own thing which is nice and refreshing to me. If there's a song I didn't like at ALL was her remake of Britney Spear's "Toxic"; Don't get me wrong it's a different take on the song and an improvement but I can't get the original singer out of my head and it angers me that I'm forced to think of Britney at all! Otherwise I'm learning to like the Cd more and more every time I listen to it.

I do enjoy the two songs on the CD. Yes, two.... that's my fault for not reading what I was buying. I though I was getting a full CD, but instead I paid $$ for this single. I am making this public confession for not reading in order to get this mistake to stick in my brain. GO YAEL! You have a great voice.

3.0 out of 5 stars Exciting debut album from Israeli singer-songwriter, March 7, 2008

By

This is an exciting debut album from an Israeli singer-songwriter. Since she's not a ultra-fluent speaker of English, her English language lyrics are simplistic but are competent enough.
