Who is Godford? Behind the mask of the elusive French electronic artist: “When I’m producing music, I’m in my own world”
Anonymity is difficult to achieve in today’s hyper-connected world, but French artist Godford remains disguised as they release their sophomore album, I SHE YOU.

“Between you and me, Godford is a side project of a major French electronic artist”, so says a source for MusicTech. In the digital age of Instagram and TikTok, it’s a challenge for anyone to have secrets. Still, the French producer is well-practiced at keeping schtum.

“I prefer to step back and only show my music and art,” they explain. From wearing an elaborate mask to providing cryptic answers in interviews (“They are a person of very few words,” explains their PR), this electronic artist has kept their identity shrouded in mystery since they first emerged in 2020.
With an exciting new record, I YOU SHE now out in the wild, Godford might have to go to ever-increasing lengths to protect themselves from being uncovered. The album and its mixture of heart-tugging electronic textures create a sonic world that works well on the dancefloor as it does on BBC Radio 1. Their music is making waves among an expanding audience, only adding to the swirl of intrigue and attention surrounding them.
So what do we know about Godford? Well, if you follow the trail of online clues and whispers, Godford appears to be the alias of a successful French electronic artist. You can tell from the music’s polished production qualities that this is the work of an established player.
With rumours of high-profile achievements already under Godford’s belt, albeit in a different guise, their ability to keep their real identity to a handful of people seems even more impressive.
Reddit users are trying to crack the case, speculating that Godford is one half of The Blaze – only to find out that the facts don’t quite match up. For now, the producer is still incognito.
Debut album Non Binary Place first landed in 2020 and won plenty of plaudits over with stand-out single Better Place attracting much love from Fader and Forbes and comparisons with DJ Seinfeld and more. Released within a year of this first long-player, the rapid arrival of follow up I YOU SHE and its musical quality suggest Godford is not only an ingenious music maker but a fast mover too. They cite a list of classic electronic and hip hop artists as key influencers on pushing their sound.
While these references run right through their two albums to date, Godford aims to go beyond any concept of physical identity. Rather than using a real name or showing their face, they want their music to do as much of the talking as possible. In a world of chronic oversharing, it’s a refreshing stance to adopt.

I've try to understand

In the song "Try" by Godford, the artist is expressing his struggle to understand and define his emotions and feelings. The lyrics "We need to understand, what is a feeling, what is an emotion" indicate a desire to comprehend and decipher the complex nature of human emotions. The artist then goes on to say, "I've tried to understand that certain feeling inside my head, but nobody cares." This line shows a feeling of loneliness and disconnect from others, as no one seems to understand or acknowledge his emotional struggle.
These lyrics may resonate with many people who have experienced similar feelings of confusion, isolation, and a lack of empathy or understanding. The song highlights the importance of emotional intelligence and the need for more open communication and support for mental health issues.
Overall, "Try" by Godford is a powerful and introspective song that encourages listeners to reflect on their own emotional experiences and to seek out support and understanding from others.
