    Tomorrow’s World: Inside

    A vision in aqua pura for Air man Jean-Benoit Dunckel and singer Lou Hayter’s celestial track

    “We like to deal with a certain modern romanticism,” says Jean-Benoît Dunckel, the notable French music producer who is also one half of both electronic luminaries Air and Tomorrow’s World, the group he fronts with British siren Lou Hayter. “I went to see Lou play with New Young Pony Club at the Flèche d'Or in the east of Paris. I liked her presence, her voice and felt a strong desire to record with her. The plan was to record one song. We finished by recording 15.” The result is the duo’s eponymous debut that was released last year, of which the lush soundscape of “Inside” is a highlight. “It’s about unconditional love, so it’s a song for everyone,” says Hayter. “And the beat sounds like a heartbeat.” The track is visualized by director Gauthier Flauder, who had already written a reflective short film. “The discovery of JB and Lou was a revelation,” says the director, whose previous commercial projects include Flowers by Kenzo. “My images found a musical home that gave them a depth and resonance, a meaning that they had been unknowingly looking for.”
