Melbourne-based Vance Joy broke through in 2013 with “Riptide”, a ukulele-powered love song with an anthemic chorus and a gooey romantic centre that became a worldwide hit. Since then, the troubadour born James Keogh has expanded his sound and gone even more deeply into his feelings. Rockers like the determined “Fire and the Flood” and the swaying “I’m With You” showcase his ability to craft stadium-worthy lighter-raisers, uke-led tracks like “Saturday Sun” reveal his lighter side, and his collaboration with EDM hero Marshmello and pop craftsman Benny Blanco testifies to his voice’s versatility.
