Alexis Ffrench je britský klavirista a skladateľ, ktorý vo svojej tvorbe prirodzene spája klasickú hudbu s prvkami soulu, jazzu a R&B. Jeho citlivý prístup k melódii a harmónii oslovuje poslucháčov naprieč žánrami.
Album Classical Soul Vol. 1 vychádza na dvojitom vinyle (2 LP) a prináša Ffrenchovo spojenie lyrického klavíra s vokálnymi intermezzami známych skladieb – medzi nimi Killing Me Softly With His Song, A Change Is Gonna Come, At Last či Ain't No Sunshine. Hlavné autorské skladby (The Way It Was, Soar, Fireflies) dopĺňajú hosťujúci umelci Fally Ipupa a Kevin Olusola. Výsledkom je intímny, emocionálne nabitý zážitok z počúvania, kde sa klasická forma stretáva s dušou populárnej hudby.
