Taken from their forthcoming mini-album ‘Ellis’ out July 8 on Erased Tapes.

Woodkid lends his vocals to some dance music
WOODKID + LYKKE LI
Two of my favourite artists get together on this track.
Woodkid – Do You Love Me After All (Demo Audio)
That incredible Woodkid film…
Pharrell – Happy (Woodkid Sad Remix)
Monday blues? Yes. We can’t be happy all the time.
New Music: Hugo
Like Woodkid but a lot more subtle. Still with maximum effect though, outstanding. Check out here.
Thomas Azier – Angelene – The Woodkid Remix
As far as remixes go, it can’t get any grander than this.
Woodkid is nuts
Woodkid goes mellow
Transform today…
Pharrell’s only gone and remixed Woodkid!
Woodkid feat. Angel Haze – I Love You
I don’t know who’s idea it was to mix Woodkid with Angel Haze but IT WORKS!
I brought three CD’s from HMV this weekend…
I know it sounds a bit old school to write about buying CD’s from a record shop, but whatever. One of my few pleasures is buying physical albums from HMV. It always makes me feel like a kid, and there’s something fun about looking forward to opening the case up.
Anyway, I brought myself three albums this weekend. Three of the most anticipated pop albums of the year, and they were all as good as I expected them to be. So here’s each one, with an album track that I particularly enjoyed. What a dorky post… Anyway, try and buy a CD every now and again. It would be a shame to see them go…
Laura Mvula – Sing To The Moon
In theory, this is the sort of album that wouldn’t warrant more than one listen every now and again. But Laura Mvula’s album has been on repeat all over the weekend. The way she writes these songs… Sublime…
Woodkid – The Golden Age
THE most anticipated album on my list this year for sure, I was ridiculously excited to finally hear this. Epic and orchestral and stunning.
Justin Timberlake – The 20/20 Experience
Think what you like about Justin Timberlake but this guy always delivers slick production on his records. There’s a rumour he’s releasing a follow up album before the end of the year.

Check out this new info graphic (featuring yours truly) by Neo Mammalian Studios. Interesting to look at!
I LOVE YOU
Ive been so busy these last few days that Woodkid’s new video passed by me… Epic and a powerful way to start the week. Enjoy this- I love Woodkid so, so hard.
First Listen: Woodkid ‘I Love You’
Finally, a new single from Woodkid! Epic and splendid just like everything else this man touches.
2012’s Random List
I started the Random List last year, and it was pretty fun for me to do so I figured I’d carry the tradition on for another year. So here, I present to you the winners of some random, and not so random, categories that have come out of 2012.
Biggest debut to come out of nowhere
Miriam Bryant. This category also covers best track of the year too, I guess (which I’m sharing with Beatrice Eli, below). I still remember reading the email introducing to her. I really didn’t expect to hear what I did. It picked up with other blogs too. In terms of debut releases, this really is as big as they come.
Best gig of the year
Woodkid featured in last year’s Random List, and a few weeks ago I had the privilege to catch him at London’s South Bank. Epic is an understatement for what I was exposed to.
Most upsetting
This one’s a tie between Nicki Minaj and Flo Rida. Unnecessary cameos from both of these on what otherwise are pretty good pop tracks (like above) have led me to just really not like either one of these. I know that will upset a lot of people, but sorry. Enough.
Scariest but fiercest track from Scandinavia
This one goes to Beatrice Eli, one of the standout artists of the year for me. I should also point out that this is my joint favourite track of the year, along with Miriam Bryant (above). It’s so hard to believe this is one of her first tracks. Can’t wait to hear new tracks!
Most exciting big-label signing
Jetta. Expect to hear more over the coming months from this lady.
Most underrated album of the year
The Noisettes. I already put up a post about this here, give it a read if you like. Sad really.
Biggest u-turn of the year
Marina & The Diamonds. Actually, it’s not so much of a u-turn as an appreciation for her. Rarely do I moan about artists on this site, but Marina was behind one of my biggest whines back at the start of 2011. That post got me some pretty nasty feedback from some. This year though, her second attempt at ‘being bigger’ paid off when Primadonna was released and topped the charts. Good for her.
Live: Woodkid at Queen Elizabeth Hall London
I don’t want to say much about what I saw Woodkid do this evening at the Southbank Centre, just because it was indescribably huge and needs to be experienced in the real. All I can say though is… awe-inspiringly epic and perfect. Probably one of the best gigs I’ve been to, period.
First Listen: Lana Del Rey ‘Born To Die (Woodkid Remix)’
This remix is special because it’s done by the same chap who directed the video to the same song.
