Yael Naim Embraces Britney Spears and Apple for Music Success

Folksy French-Israeli singer Yael Naim found more fame when her catchy tune "New Soul" played in Apple's MacBook Air laptop ads, pushing the song to No. 7 on U.S. music chart Billboard's Hot 100. However, she had already caught much attention when she chose to cover Britney Spears' "Toxic" which you can watch in the video clip above.

Naim said she's not worried about being seen as too commercial after the success of the Apple ad. She told Reuters in New York:

"It opened a great window for us, for a lot of people to have a chance to hear about our music. We had a lot of propositions ... but we thought Apple and Macintosh have some connection because today we work with computers to do our music."

The first time I heard "New Soul" in the commercial, I thought she had a great voice, but I quickly began growing tired of the song after hearing the ad played repeatedly. If you somehow haven't heard "New Soul" you can click here to watch her video clip. Well, she does sound a lot better than Britney though doesn't she? I'd listen to her any day over Britney's voice.
