Video Premiere: Alexis Ffrench - 'Guiding Light'
Acclaimed pianist, composer & producer Alexis Ffrench, has just announces his brand-new record ‘Truth’ - out May 6th on Sony Music. 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 – sat at his piano composing.
And with that, the stunning first track to be released, ‘Guiding Light’, is about a higher power and is dedicated to loved ones no longer with us. “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,” Alexis comments. “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.”
We are delighted to be able to give you an exclusive look at the visuals for the first track from the album ‘Guiding Light’.
