La Vie Est Belle / Life Is Beautiful
“Petite Noir exudes unadulterated euphoria from every pore”
The King of Anxiety - EP
“Singing in a sonorous voice, Yannick Ilunga, a 24-year-old from Cape Town, plays an itchy, gently polyrhythmic mix of music that mixes new wave with South African influences. No matter how many parts are moving inside of his songs, the material on this excellent five-song EP always feels calm and serene.”
La Maison Noir / The Black House - EP
“Once again taking up the mantle of the genre and social movement he calls “noirwave,” South Africa’s Yannick Ilunga finds new strength in personal expression and political engagement.”
La Vie Est Belle / Life Is Beautiful
“South African singer-songwriter Yannick Ilunga, aka Petite Noir, appeared on the Solange Knowles-curated Saint Heron compilation, but even with the alt-R&B scene growing broader as it grows larger, his music is hard to classify.”
Wavelength is the Letterboxd for music.
