Yael Naim PWND Toxic

... and I'm not going to lie, I had to use Urban Dictionary to double-make-sure PWND meant what I thought it did.

Probably better known as 'that girl who sings that song in that Macbook Air commercial'; Yael Naim takes Britney Spears' Toxic and flexes it into a pretty powerful vocal.


By the way 'that song,' the one Yael sings in the the Mac commercial is called “New Soul.” And it helped launch Ms. Naim into the first Israeli solo artist to have a Top 10 hit in the U.S. (or at least that's what I heard on NPR's Day to Day.)


“It started as a joke,” she continued in the Day to Day interview. However, it ended up something a little more serious. Which is funny because that's kind of the flip/reverse of Spears' career. Which started something a little more serious but is now a joke.


Here's the video...
