From MTV:

On Sunday night, Sean will share trophies with G.O.O.D. Music captain Kanye West, as well as Pusha T and 2 Chainz if the rap collective racks up W’s for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance. And while “Mercy” helped usher the Detroit MC into an exclusive club that includes hip-hop luminaries like Nas, according to Sean, it was only a matter of time before he got his membership.

“I knew it would come; you just never know when,” he said when MTV News’ Sway caught up with him on the VIBE Media red carpet Friday in Los Angeles. “I figure, Sway, I put out one album and I’m 24 years old, and I knew it was gonna come sooner or later,” the Finally Famous rapper explained before adding a hilariously double-entendre-conscious “pause.” “So I’m just happy that it came so early — pause.

Woodkid – Highsnobiety TV Interview

February 6, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff Interviews No Comments  

Yoann Lemoine is a musician and video artist from Paris. His skills as a producer and videographer have been demanded by many big names in the music industry; Lemoine produced Katy Perry’s music video Teenage Dream as well as the videos for Lana Del Rey’s Blue Jeans and Born To Die. The list of his clients continues with Rihanna, Drake, Taylor Swift, Mystery Jets and so on. It is obvious that Lemoine is gifted catching dreams and visions to transform them on to celluloid. The most impressive is Yoann Lemoine’s own musical project that goes by the name WOODKID. The tacks are epic and monumental using the imposing effects of orchestral instruments such as string players, trumpets and horns, an abundance of drums and the significance of an organ. The conceptual full length album ‘The Golden Age’ will be released on the 15th of March 2013. The concept of the album builds up around the story of a boy who leaves the era of childhood and dies, only to be reborn within growing up. This story is told through WOODKID’s music videos, full of mystic images and extensive special effects. The first released video was ‘Iron’ followed by ‘Run Boy Run’ and the very recently released ‘I Love You’. As I was told in the interview there is more to come, more from Woodkid and more from Yoann Lemoine…we can’t wait.
