Pioneering pianist, composer, and chart-topping Classical Soul artist Alexis Ffrench announces his brand-new album 24, set for release on October 2, 2026, via Sony Music Masterworks. The new album is available for pre-save here. Accompanying the new album's announcement is the release of Ffrench's debut single, Good Morning, which is out now - listen here.
Formed of 24 meticulously crafted piano pieces and intended as a musical companion to the clockwork regularity of everyday life, 24 reveals as an intimate and immersive snapshot of a singular day. See full track listing below.
Gently guiding listeners from dawn to dusk - through the quiet of early morning into the busy heart of day and on to the evening’s golden hour – 24 is woven from daydreams, memories of human connection and the desire for authenticity amongst an ever-evolving and increasingly simulated digital age.
Made at legendary Provençal studio Miraval, owned by Brad Pitt and Damien Quintard, Ffrench recorded 24 during ten days of near-total immersion on an array of vintage grand pianos, upright pianos, and organs. Adding delicate ripples of percussion to the record’s kaleidoscopic sound, 24 also enlists a string ensemble featuring harp and upright bass.
Inspired in part by the many messages Ffrench has received from listeners throughout his career, 24 finds Ffrench reflecting on what his music means to those who find solace in it and the cherished moments it has served to soundtrack. He explains: “I wanted this album to reflect the everyday miracles in people’s lives.”
Throughout his career, Ffrench has asked one question above all others: “What do my listeners need from me?” Now, with 24, the answer is both simple and profound: music to live by.
Arriving as an instant warm embrace and a simple promise of things to come, new single “Good Morning” opens a window to the new world Ffrench has built. An invitation to greet the day, whatever it might bring, the piece was inspired by a close friend’s routine of articulating out loud the things he is grateful for. Carrying with it that same spirit of thankfulness in the face of the everyday, Ffrench describes “Good Morning” as “a burst of positivity at the start of the day.”
One of the world’s most exciting artists, Alexis Ffrench has played a pivotal role in bringing instrumental music to an ever-increasing audience. His accolades speak for themselves, with well over 1 billion streams across his catalogue, multiple No.1 albums, and RIAA Gold in the USA for his single “Bluebird.”
Whether he’s performing at the King’s Coronation Concert to an audience of over 18 million, hosting his ARIA Award-winning Apple Music show Classical Connections, performing at major festivals and selling out venues worldwide, hosting with schools & charitable organisations, or putting his own spin on contemporary pop hits for his enthusiastic social media audience, Alexis is driven by the desire to make music accessible to all.
Refusing to be pinned by genre, time period or the expectations of the kind of musician he should be, and rather than leaning into the traditional understanding of the ‘classical’ genre, Alexis instead leans outward– with his expansive perspective drawing on a multifarious mosaic of influences that takes his listeners by the hand and leads them on a journey through a world of possibility.
With the new album acting as a timelessly enchanting musical journey through the various possibilities held within one singular day, 24 is the first studio album from Alexis Ffrench since 2024’s Classical Soul Vol. 1 – welcoming in a contemplative and captivating new dawn for the forerunner of contemporary classical music.
