Vincent J Shines Through the Darkness with Trilingual Single “Silver Night”

London-based Lebanese artist Vincent J is redefining what fusion-pop can sound like. With roots spanning three languages and a four-octave vocal range that moves like a living instrument, Vincent weaves together a soundscape that is both cinematic and intimate. His latest release, “Silver Night,” proves why he’s one of the most exciting rising voices in the Arab Diaspora scene.

A trilingual single performed in English, Arabic, and French, “Silver Night” is a lush fusion of modern pop, Middle Eastern instrumentation, and Vincent’s own ethereal artistry. The track is a metaphor for finding light in darkness, an invitation to reimagine the night not as something dangerous, but as a space of beauty, joy, and resilience.

From the cinematic drama of its opening verses to the dreamlike bridge, “Silver Night” crescendos into a celebratory chorus sung by a chorus of around 30 of Vincent’s friends and family. It feels less like a single and more like an anthem for unity. “I hope people take away that the night does not always have to be associated with negative and dangerous things, but also beauty, magic, love, and goodness,” Vincent shares. “To me personally, it’s also something I’m learning because I see myself as more of a golden day inspired by the silver night and learning its dance.”

Already making waves, “Silver Night” has landed on the Official Lebanese Top 20 charts, a major milestone for an independent artist building from London. It’s also a stepping stone toward a bigger world Vincent is creating, what he calls ‘Vtopia,’ a utopia crafted through music, language, and connection. Fans can expect another single with a music video soon, as well as Vincent’s highly anticipated headline show in London on October 10th. Looking ahead to 2026, Vincent is preparing a full EP release that will expand even further into his cinematic, surreal, multilingual universe. “Silver Night” is more than a song; it’s a shared journey. And for Vincent J, that journey is just getting started.

“Silver Night” blends English, Arabic, and French. Why was it important for you to bring all three languages into this track, and how does that reflect who you are as an artist? I left my home, Lebanon, convinced I would only ever write and sing in English… especially as I was moving  to London. However, my perspective shifted completely once I settled down in London and started realizing that there’s so much beauty in my roots and my culture. So, to be as authentic as possible, I now write most of my music trilingually or bilingually to showcase the languages Lebanese people like myself constantly mix in one sentence, even. As an artist, I wanna portray who I truly am, but also where I come from. So, I want to use my fluency in the 3 languages as a way to represent and celebrate what makes me me. 

The chorus features 30 of your friends and family. What was that recording process like, and what did bringing your community into the song mean to you? The recording process was actually so cool because I recorded some people in the studio with me. Others have my bedroom equipment. Others recorded using their own devices from different countries. Literally had a friend record from the Netherlands, another from Paris, another from Dubai, another from Canada… so it’s just so cool that these special people in my life (many of whom are Lebanese) recorded from all over the world and became part of Silver Night. The song to me is about joining each other in a dance, so having all these lovely people join me on the track is a meaningful vocal manifestation of that dance.

You’ve said this song challenges the idea of night being dark or dangerous. How has your own perspective on the night changed, and what do you hope listeners take away? I used to view the night as dangerous, evil, and negative. The night screams ‘darkness, secrets, drugs, demons, fear…’. And I see myself as a Golden Day: positive, bright, optimistic, healthy, kind… But I wrote Silver Night as a way to remind myself that even though I’m not much of a ‘night’ kinda guy, there’s so much to admire about the night. Silver Night is magic, wonder, dreams,  dancing, singing, laughing… It’s all these beautiful positive things we can find in the night, too. I hope my listeners see that too and feel welcome to enjoy the night (not just the day) and revel in its beauty in a healthy and dazzling way. 

As part of the rising Arab Diaspora Artists in the UK, how does your Lebanese heritage shape your sound and storytelling? It’s very important to me to find a balance between expressing myself as authentically as possible, while also representing where I come from. I’m finding that this balance lies in being vocal about what I admire and appreciate about my culture, while criticizing what needs to change, just like every other culture in the world. We could all use a little more growth. So, I guess what I’m saying is my Lebanese heritage is in every lyric I write, every instrument, every melody I create,  and every vocal inflection I sing…not necessarily traditionally, but in a way that tells my story and my experiences. It’s an honour to bring such sounds to Western audiences and diaspora audiences who are getting introduced to it or are falling in love with it more and more. After all, Lebanon is such a diverse mix of Western and Middle Eastern values and lifestyles… so it’s an honour to show this mix to those who do not know my Lebanon.

With a headline London show in October and your upcoming EP ‘Vtopia,’ what can fans expect from this next chapter of your music? My show in October is going to be on my birthday! Which will also be the release day of my next single, VV (a sequel to a previous single of mine: PMAT). I will also be premiering its music video at the show. I’m also working on the creation of an EP I hope to release in 2026. I can’t reveal the name of the EP yet, but the goal is to describe the world I’m creating, Vtopia, through every song. I want to invite my audience to join this Vtopia of beauty, kindness, luxury, magic, and all things good. In short, my fans can expect great music, great visuals, and even greater live performances where we can connect with one another. And some more magic.
