"she wants to run from me"
Yael Naim's track She is a stunner. An ethereal dream theater of the heart and mind. A step into a fantasy. At first it sounds like an exercise in minimalism but that quickly changes as lush orchestration and chorale backing vox roll in over the rushing arpeggios. Naim's voice has a wide eyed beauty and, within this framework, she is the Alice walking down the rabbit hole with trepidation and pained resolution. The result feels at once heavenly but also magical in a surreal way, like a fable of emotions.
