Vianney had concluded the year 2022 with great fanfare by collaborating with Ed Sheeran, Kendji or Charlie Winston before suddenly slipping away. At the end of his tour Don’t wait in December, the interpreter of Not there announced that he was taking a break for “a few years” after having spent “the most intense months” of his life. If we could continue to see him in his scarlet coach chair in The Voice, the prolific artist wanted to get away from crowded rooms and studios to enjoy his family and his son Edgar, born in March 2021.
Vianney therefore returns to the airwaves, much earlier than expected, to the delight of his fans. Friday August 18, he sounds his return with the title Comment on fait, accompanied by a clip, in collaboration with the timeless Zazie. Having become accomplices following their meeting for the TF1 show, the two artists sign their first duet here. For this piece written with four hands and described by Vianney as an “ode to improvisation”, the two friends indulge in a well-felt question and answer game. They confide in their fears, fears and apprehensions by asking each other for advice. Based on this sharing of experiences and feelings, a single moral emerges: “How do we do it? In fact, who cares”, like a call to let go. Everything is set to a catchy pop melody.
On social networks, Vianney has continued to proclaim his pride and his happiness to have been able to work with the one who wrote Light the fire for Johnny Hallyday. By her side, he was able to create in a spontaneous and liberating way, as he explains through these few lines: “Female songwriters have fascinated me since childhood; they are rare on the front of the stage, rarer still to cross the ages. Also, it took courage for me to offer Zazie a four-handed. She arrived, with her humor and her keen eye. His little scooter parked in front of the studio. Suddenly, there, in front of the white sheet and the mute guitar, Zazie has turned into an eight-year-old warrior. Who searches, who swirls, who dreams, who slices, who dances, who plays, who proposes and hardly crosses out. So I played too and, without really knowing how, we wrote this song. Ode to improvisation. To the saving tinkers: for so goes Zazie. And this day, well I took it, I followed her. »
