Kan Wakan’s stunning debut album “Moving On” has all the elements of an epic film score – lush orchestration, arresting mood swings, subtly recurring musical bits – that it makes sense that virtually every song will make for great cinema. And so it is with the video for the sultry “Like I Need You,” directed by Young Replicant (Lorde, The XX, Purity Ring). It’s set in a dark, dangerous world, the kind of place where somebody always seems to get it in the end.
