ALEXIS FFRENCH ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM - TRUTH
AVAILABLE MAY 6, 2022 - PREORDER NOW
FEATURING A COLLABORATION WITH POP POWERHOUSE LEONA LEWIS

Acclaimed pianist, composer, and producer Alexis Ffrench has announced his new album Truth out May 6th on Sony Music Masterworks and available now for preorder. Born from the grief, anger, and helplessness he felt following the death of George Floyd – Alexis tried to make sense of it the only way he knew how – he sat at his piano composing. Accompanying the album announcement and preorder is the first track “Guiding Light,” which is about a higher power and is also a dedication to loved ones no longer with us. 

Of the new track, Alexis comments, “My mental health was suffering last year because I felt I wasn’t enough - and because I didn't tell my father I loved him until the evening before he died. I went to the piano and that sense of helplessness and breathlessness turned into a piece that represented the broad spectrum of emotions I was experiencing.”  
Alexis Ffrench isn’t afraid of fusing his music with weighty issues. For years, the pioneering pianist has used his music to highlight mental health, discuss diversity and challenge the classical world to be more inclusive. Truth, his latest album, is his most powerful and political to date, and his most optimistic.  

“I’m usually wary of making any sort of political statement,” says Britain’s best-selling classical composer, whose songs have been streamed half a billion times, “but sometimes you have to put your head above the parapet. Truth was borne out of an intensely personal moment. These songs are my reaction to that.”
