Video for Woodkid's new song Run Boy Run debuted yesterday. Although visually it's pretty similar to his first video, Iron, musically it's something a little bit different. Much more dancy, I'd say. The video was once again produced and directed by Woodkid himself and, once again, it's stunning. Watch for yourself (I suggest in fullscreen at 1080p) and look forward to his debut album, The Golden Age, coming this fall.
Just to compare, here is a live version of Run Boy Run from Katowice. It's very similar to what Woodkid did at Electronic Beats in Bratislava, where I've seen him, and I find this version a little bit more intense than the studio one.
Lastly, if you like the song, support it. And if you weren't lucky enough to see Woodkid live and you'd like to at least hear the recording of it, have a look at this site.
As you might know, Woodkid is on tour. And as far as I know, his shows are completely sold out. And what does that mean? It means there will be at least a few video recordings of new songs! I did not listen to all of them, as I don't want to spoil the surprise of what his album will be like, but I couldn't resist listening to at least one song (and some parts of the others :D) So, here's the new song, in a pretty good quality, called "Ghost Light". (And if your curiosity still isn't satisfied - just look for "woodkid live brussels" on youtube, there is a whole concert in a few parts :))
Yesterday morning I found out that Gorillaz covered XX's Crystalised on legendary BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge. Better band and a much better version of a good song...
