Nourith

(Polydor, France)
by Michael McCarthy

Nourith‘s self-titled second album is primarily in French with one song in English, “Purple Dream,” and one song in Hebrew, “Ten Od Yom.” Some fans of the Israeli singer might be disappointed, considering that her first album was primarily in Hebrew, but since it was recorded in a small studio in Paris with the help of many of France’s top songwriters (including Yannick Guérin), producers, and musicians, they can hardly be surprised. And her sound remains the same sort of pop-influenced folk that made her first album, Kôyishama, so enchanting. Sweet, beautiful, dreamy stuff. “So I’m willing to find the road to the magic horizon and purple dream,” she sings and you’re inclined to dream the dream right along with her.
