Vianney has officially finished the project that kept him away from music for many months. The singer announced on his Instagram account that he was putting the finishing touches on the wooden shelter he had been building alone since the summer of 2025. "As for the carpentry, I'm finally finishing my shelter this week... I'm incredibly moved to be writing this to you.", Vianney confided to his public. This publication marks the culmination of a personal project undertaken after the announcement, in June 2025, of his temporary withdrawal from the music scene.
A deliberate break to build with one's own hands and refocus.
When Vianney revealed this change of direction, he explained that he felt the need to step away from the hectic pace of his artistic activities. In a video posted on Instagram and subsequently shared by several media outlets, Vianney indicated that he wanted to move on "in the coming months" More alone, more in silence, and further from the usual hustle and bustle. His goal was clear: to build a cabin deep in the woods with his own hands, a place where he could retreat to write new songs. Vianney wanted to make this place his " desk " months to come, after five very active years between albums, collaborations and television.
A project carried out without professionals, taking longer than expected
The project was initially slated for completion by Christmas, but the timeline was extended. Vianney dedicated most of his days to the construction, without the help of professionals, and it wasn't until the end of March 2026 that the refuge began to near completion. In February 2026, on the occasion of his 35th birthday, Vianney already alluded to the imminent end of the project, hinting that he would then retreat there for a while to allow the songs to return. This nine-month duration gives this interlude a significance that transcends mere manual labor: it represents a genuine change of pace, embraced by the artist.
Why did Vianney choose construction rather than production?
One of the most discussed aspects of this break remains the phrase spoken by Vianney at the time of his departure: "Perhaps I need to be a bit of a carpenter to relearn how to become a singer." This statement sums up the rationale behind this creative retreat. Vianney didn't present this project as a mere quirky interlude, but as a way to rediscover a form of personal and artistic inspiration. Furthermore, Vianney spoke of a place to settle. "A piano, a bed, a table", with the desire to " to build " instead of " produce "In other words, the cabin had to become both an intimate refuge and a space for composition.
A musical comeback has been mentioned, but not yet detailed.
The end of the refuge doesn't yet mean an official announcement of a new album, but it clearly reignites the prospect of a comeback. Vianney has already hinted that this cabin was intended to be the setting for writing his next album. The singer announced a "Big news" after his period of withdrawal. At this stage, Vianney has not yet specified a release date for a new album, but he has promised to say more. "very soon".
