This song is Angelene by Thomas Azier from his album Hylas 002. This is the first song I've heard by him and immediately listened to the rest of the album after hearing it because of its unique sound and I was not disappointed--in fact, I listened to his other album Hylas 001 and enjoyed that one as well and I recommend taking a listen to both,
If you like Woodkid, then you'll adore Berlin's Thomas Azier. Early last year, Azier released his debut EP "Hylas 001" with tracks like "Red Eyes" oozing class and catchy melodies. Later transcending and maturing in his coming of age EP "Hylas 002" featuring power ballad "Angelene". What's even more impressive is that Azier both wrote and produced each and every track on both EPs which really rounds him off as an artist; a rarity these days. Taken from the latter EP, "Shade of Black" is a dark, mysterious, haunting ballad with a beautifully crafted piano segment as well as some soaring falsettos penned by Azier. Watch the intricate video to the single above...
Song for Today: Angelene by Thomas Azier

Thomas Azier : l’incarnation de la nouvelle génération Pop-électronique
Ce jeune Néerlandais de 24ans, bourré de talent, nous offre un genre pop original, planant et puissant. Il incarne cette nouvelle génération pop qui monte en puissance grâce à la violence des synthétiseurs.
On remarque dans ces deux Ep (« Hylas 001 » et « Hylas 002 ») la récurrence et l’abondance de synthétiseurs. Ces synthétiseurs offrent une ambiance réjouissante, intrigante et mystérieuse. Sa voix est tout simplement entrainante. Il possède une voix grave et douce. Elle glisse facilement dans les oreilles. Je le répète souvent dans les anciennes critiques que la voix doit être accordée aux instruments. Et là, c’est encore une fois parfait.
On sent une inspiration de la pop des années 80. On peut sentir des influences comme Alphaville ou Kim Wilde. Sa voix me fait penser un peu à celle de Bryan Ferry (chanteur de Roxy Music). Mais ce que je trouve encore plus sublime dans ce jeune artiste, c’est la manière dont il s’est approprié ce genre musical presque mort.
J’ai choisi de vous le présenter par le biais de How to Disappear, tiré de l’Ep « Hylas 001 ». Ce morceau possède une force indescriptible. Il coule tellement bien dans les oreilles. Il est entrainant, planant, vitalisant et épatant. Les drums m’attirent plus dans ce son parce qu’ils sont légers, mais à la fois percutants. Je vous laisse vous-même en juger.
Il sortira son premier album durant l’Été 2013.

PRE-ORDER HYLAS 002: http://smarturl.it/AzierHylas https://www.facebook.com/thomasazier “Music has turned into nothing more than just a rush in the background while you are busy doing other things. I don’t want to change that, but I try to make something that will catch your ear and communicate with you.” – Azier. Thomas Azier is an electronic-pop artist based in Berlin. Early in 2012 he released his debut EP “Hylas 001” featuring the single “Red Eyes”, a live favorite of audiences across Europe and the United States. He is now set to release a 2nd EP „Hylas 002“, which again appears on his label “Hylas Records/BMG”. “The mood of “Hylas002” arises from the sublime essence of solitude” Azier explains. Within the darkness of the ever-transforming city he explores the nature of isolation through conscious introspection; examining the process of becoming a shadow of oneself. Azier wrote and produced all of the songs himself, with only help from co-producer and sound designer Robin Hunt. During an extensive tour this year Thomas will present his new material live on stage, while also supporting Woodkid on several live dates. In the meantime the 24-year old multi-instrumentalist is working on his biggest project yet; his debut album. The third part within the Hylas trilogy, due out in Summer 2013.
