Her music has been featured in TV series including Grey's Anatomy, Six Feet Under and Big Love, and in movies including Love Me No More (2008). Her song "Beautiful Day" has been the sound of the "Skyteam" campaign, and in 2008 her song "Lay Your Head Down" was the synch for the international H&M Spring commercial.
Keren Ann is the eponymous fifth album of the singer, Keren Ann. It is also her third English album.
In his review for MSN Music, music critic Robert Christgau cited "Lay Your Head Down" and "It Ain't No Crime" as highlights and quipped that it was "music to pretend you're having sophisticated casual sex to, only remember -- you're not actually that sophisticated".
All songs written by Keren Ann Zeidel except "Caspia" written with Bardi Johannsson.

Restons ici
Le soleil est moins pâle
Le vent moins sidéral
L'eau est bleue
Bleu turquoise
Tu vas mieux
D'ici on voit couler
Les rivières de janvier
Restons ici
Les jours ne passent pas
Et Paris est trop loin
L'aube est claire
Et la vie bien plus claire
D'ici on peut longer
Les rivières de janvier
Restons ici
Une nuit vas tomber
Et la nuit nous va bien
L'eau est bleue
Bleu foncé
Tu t'endors
Je ne fais que penser
Aux rivières de janvier
Restons ici
Le soleil est moins pâle
Le vent moins sidérale
L'eau est bleue
Bleu foncé
Tu t'endors
Je ne fais que penser
Aux rivières de janvier
