Let It Transform You (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) by Yael Naim

Let It Transform You by Yael Naim is a track that defines the documentary, Yael Naim, Une nouvelle âme, which is available on Arte.

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 (aired 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.
