On his 2014 debut, Idées blanches, Vianney established himself as a uniquely versatile singer/songwriter, applying his honey-smooth voice to string-sweetened folk rock sways (“Pas là”) and EDM-enhanced anthems (“Je te déteste”) alike. His 2016 self-titled release revealed more layers, delving into stark piano-led power ballads (“Je m'en vais”) and winsome reggae-tinged serenades (“Dumbo”). And he immersed himself deeper into that island vibe with a sweet and soulful tribute-album cover of Bob Marley's “Turn Your Lights Down Low”, deftly guiding it from acoustic lullaby to ascendent anthem.
