We say
New Soul was heard around the world very quickly thanks to Apple choosing it for their MacBook Air television ads. Taken from Naim's self-titled second album, produced with her collaborator David Donatien, this perfect piece of jazzy pop has over 6m YouTube views. The album has sold more than 300,000 copies in France, and the single has topped the iTunes charts in the US, as well as breaking into the UK top 40 on downloads alone. A SXSW performance precedes a full run of UK promotion at the end of the month and live dates in May. JF SXSW Gig: Friday March 14, Victorian Room at The Driskill, 23:30Contact
