French producer, musician and video director Woodkid has premiered his new single, 'I Love You', a collaboration with New York rapper Angel Haze. Listen to the track below.

The track originally appeared on Woodkid's critically acclaimed 2013 debut album The Golden Age, and Haze's additional rhymes give the already-stunning track additional bite.

In stark contrast to Yoann Lemoine's hushed, gritty vocals, Haze's smooth but shotgun-like delivery adds a new urgency to the track, which climaxes with a spectacular string-crescendo.

Lemoine is perhaps best known for directing videos for Lana Del Rey, Drake & Rihanna and Katy Perry, and also wrote and directed the stunning black & white video for 'I Love You'.

Woodkid came to international attention for his music when Kendrick Lamar sampled his track 'Iron' for his 'The Spiteful Chant' tune and his tune 'Run Boy Run' was used in the global launch of video game, Assasin's Creed 3.
