Almost two years after her album "Napoli – Tel Aviv," Achinoam Nini, also known as Noa, is scheduled to release a new international album called Jeans & Genes very soon. This will be her fifth album produced abroad this time with Universal Records.

 

Click on the links below to listen to two of her new songs for the first time:

 

Hebrew lyrics: Shalom Shabazi. English lyrics: Achinoam Nini, Gil Dor

English lyrics and composer: Achinoam Nini, Gil Dor

In her new album, Nini sings in English, Hebrew and Yemenite Arabic. The singer chose to release two songs on one single in order "to showcase the album which includes western fragrances and ethnic songs."

 

The single is set to be released in Israel on Tuesday and will subsequently be released abroad.

Nini explains the metamorphosis that led to producing the album: "I contemplated my family history, their daring and dangerous journey from Yemen to Israel, the voyages of my ancestors to Africa and beyond and the transfer of my family to New York.

 

I thought about my return to Israel, following my heart and the adventurous musical journey around the world which I embarked upon again from here as a young woman and today as a mother of two.

 

"I look at this journey of searching for and identity, clarity, love and acceptance through the eyes of my grandmother, my mother, my own eyes and those of my daughter," the artist said.
