Woodkid

There’s something about the way Woodkid builds a world around his music—the visual art, the short films, the whole package—that makes the actual listening feel like stepping into someone’s head. I Love You is a good example. He makes art rock that doesn’t feel like it’s trying to prove anything to you. Just a guy with design taste and something to say, and he says it plainly. That’s rarer than it should be.
