Woodkid is Yoann Lemoine, a French music video artist and film director. He has worked with artists such as Katy Perry and Taylor Swift, and has recently branched out into creating his own music under the stage name Woodkid. His own music is about as far removed from the artists he has worked with as possible however: this is dark, brooding, atmospheric songwriting that hides a constant sense of malice of foreboding underneath the pulsing drumbeat and exotic vocals.
This song is Iron, from Woodkid’s debut EP of the same name. It’s an utterly stunning track that has received a lot of attention lately, partly because of the amazing music video, partly because it’s just a great track, and partly because it was used in a recent trailer for the video game ‘Assassin’s Creed: Revelations’. But however you discover Woodkid, this is music that simply doesn’t leave you.
