I don’t know….I think I just wrote that title to grab your attention. I hate when writers compare lesser known stuff to bigger more popular things just so that it could get the attention that it deserves. After you watch this video, you will see that no comparison is needed for Miss Yael Naim to hold any sort of importance. Its brilliant because the video is so amazingly artistic and original. One of those ideas that you slap yourself for not having, but the song is also so great. If only because its chalk full of cliche’s but you don’t have to feel guilty for liking it. It just feels real and its come at the perfect time because, yes oh yes, just as Amy Winehouse has proved. Its not time for some soul.
