‘Moments’ by Alexis Ffrench is a delicate narration of life’s journey. The<br />
beautiful, playful melodies portray the light, whilst this contrasts against the<br />
darkness which is told through a passionate yet somewhat deeply sad<br />
undertone.<br />
UK contemporary pianist and composer Alexis Ffrench has marked his return<br />
with the exceptional new single ‘Moments’, taken from his brand new studio<br />
album Evolution - out in September via Sony Music.<br />
This big announcement comes ahead of his scheduled performance at this<br />
year’s Classic BRIT Awards on June 13th at The Royal Albert Hall, where Alexis<br />
will be accompanied by fellow Sony Classical opera singer Pretty Yende, both<br />
backed by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, showcasing Alexis to the<br />
masses.<br />
A stunning new album that sees Alexis propel himself to yet further heights,<br />
Evolution features a host of guests, from international classical harpist Lavinia<br />
Meijer and Boston-based electro folk duo Tall Heights; to The City of Prague<br />
Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Adam Klemans.<br />
Speaking of the themes and meaning behind the new album, Alexis Ffrench<br />
says; “Evolution’ is inspired by the extremes and inherent fragility of the<br />
human experience - loss, love, birth, sorrow, vulnerability, triumph and despair<br />
but, above all, our ability to come through adversity and radiate the best<br />
versions of ourselves. This album explores the beauty that lies beneath and<br />
the truths that bind us.”<br />
And of the beautiful new track ‘Moments’, Ffrench notes: “Moments is a piece<br />
that was conceived out of hundreds of tiny fragments that I would hum, record<br />
and collate on my phone. The melodies kept coming back to me, and as I<br />
assembled the many fragments like a jigsaw puzzle, and expanded on themes<br />
at the piano I found I had composed a dark, French-Nuovo piece that I had<br />
really fallen in love with.”<br />
With over 75 million streams to date and now over a million active Spotify<br />
listeners a month, Alexis Ffrench is already an established star in the<br />
streaming world, leading the way for the new generation of classical artists,<br />
with his music speaking to a very wide and diverse audience and transcending<br />
all boundaries and genres. With a brand new album in the works and an<br />
exciting partnership with Modest! Management, home to artists including<br />
Little Mix, Olly Murs and more, 2018 already looks very exciting for this<br />
exceptional musician.<br />
