Layers, the debut album from French DJ and producer Kungs, arrived on 4 November 2016 riding the momentum of "This Girl", his reworking of a Cookin' on 3 Burners track with Kylie Auldist on vocals, which had already gone to number one on the French singles chart. Valentin Brunel, a Toulon kid raised on his dad's rock and roll records who built a following posting remixes online, produced the whole thing himself, and it's sunny, tidy dance-pop built around big vocal hooks and bouncing grooves.
The follow-ups kept coming: "Don't You Know" with Jamie N Commons went top five in France, "I Feel So Bad" with Ephemerals reached number 3, and "You Remain" closed the run. The album itself climbed to number 8 on the French albums chart and took a 2017 Victoire in the electronic, groove and dance album category. Club Azur came next.
