Woodkid

cinematic // vocal orchestral

Woodkid (Yoann Lemoine) is probably best known for his work directing films for artists like Katy Perry and Taylor Swift, but those successes haven’t kept him from expanding his talent into new realms. With booming drums, powerful brass, and fluttering woodwinds, the uncomplicated title track to his premier EP “Iron” (accompanied by an eery and equally beautiful video) makes you feel like you’ve entered an epic battle from which there is no turning back.

Powerful simplicity flush with presence.

    I first heard this track in a trailer, and then found the music video. Heart.

    This is my favorite song now the beat and rythme of the voice is just hypnotizing…I honestly listen to screamo and heavy metal but when I came across this song I was hooked I hope there’s new songs like this its amazing it blew my mind
