Woodkid

Woodkid

Yoann Lemoine (1983) aka Woodkid is a French film and music video director-turned musician.

He is a young lad who has been out there displaying his heightened sense of creativity for quite a long time now. Granting himself the opportunity to work with Luc Besson, Lana Del Ray, Katy Perry, Rihanna has surely kicked in; 'the multi-talented' Lemoine has recieved awards both at home and abroad. 

He is about to release his debut album " The Golden Age" in March, 2013, consisting of sophisticated tracks such as 'Iron'; his spellbinding single interweaving orchestral beats with the drums accompanied by his melancholia of vocals. The song has been an inspiration to Dior Homme to name the 2013 Fall-Winter collection after the lyrics:  "A soldier on my own" as well as serving in the soundtrack of Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

Here is my belated discovery of the video (2011) and he sure directed it himself casting beautiful Agyness in it, so please; grab those headphones and listen and watch and ...

" A soldier on my own, I don't know the way.

   I'm riding up the heights ... of shame."
