Yael Naim – Let It Transform You (OMP Soundtrack)

This is Yael Naim‘s first track to see the light of day since the album “Night Songs” (2020). “Let It Transform You,” which closes the documentary “Yael Naim, Une nouvelle âme” directed by Jill Coulon (broadcast on September 23, 2025, on Arte), marks a shift. That of an artist in full mutation, who is taking a radical turn towards a more stripped-down, electronic and instinctive writing style.

Built around a heady loop, a heartbeat, over which a suspended melody rests, the piece whispers more than it sings. Like a melancholic mantra, a gentle incantation to transformation. “One evening, I started composing around matriarchy. I fumbled around, then this rhythm was born and the text came out in one go,” says Yael. “The next day, I called Jill and said, ‘Here we are, we have found the perfect ending for the documentary.’”

In the film’s final sequence, as Yael strides toward a still-unclear elsewhere, symbolically leaving behind a piece of her past, the images and the music become one. With this piece, Yael Naim marks both an end and a beginning. She now composes alone, venturing into a more electronic sound, but still permeated by a profoundly human vibration.

“Let It Transform You” thus becomes a vibrant manifesto. The soundtrack of a body moving forward, a mind letting go, a soul learning to welcome rather than control.

Let It Transform You, offers more than just a new release—she shares a living mantra, a piece of music that becomes both soundtrack and soul. As Jill Coulon’s documentary finds its ending, the song embodies change, bridging tradition and electronic instinct.

Rooted in France, carried by image and film, its resonance stretches beyond borders. A video of quiet power, a hymn to transformation, and a reminder that at the heart of it all, there is Yael Naim. #arte
