The post-classical piano icon’s fourth solo studio album takes its title from the Latin \u003cem\u003emirari\u003c\/em\u003e — “to marvel” — and transforms the story of a suburban childhood into a poetic journey through sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet for release on 25 September, \u003cem\u003emirador\u003c\/em\u003e draws on Blais’s memories of growing up queer with Tourette’s, finding escape and possibility in a basement filled with everyday objects: an organ, VHS tapes, encyclopedias. These modest surroundings become gateways to distant cultures, inner worlds and expansive dreams — a “stationary world tour” shaped by curiosity, longing and discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten for choir, Andean instruments, strings and piano, the album moves between intimacy and vastness, turning personal history into a richly textured musical landscape. It is also a tribute to Blais’s parents and the musical world they helped create around him, as well as to the absences and limitations that sparked his ambition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the visual world of \u003cem\u003emirador\u003c\/em\u003e, Blais reunites with filmmaker \u003cstrong\u003eAdrian Villagomez\u003c\/strong\u003e, his collaborator on the award-winning video for \u003cem\u003epassepied\u003c\/em\u003e. Together, they have created the album artwork, visualisers and a longform film that brings several tracks into one immersive performance space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth tender and cinematic, \u003cem\u003emirador\u003c\/em\u003e invites listeners to see the ordinary anew — as a place of marvel, transformation and limitless imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury KX","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":59304532935001,"sku":"SDZ-51828","price":30.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":59304532967769,"sku":"SDZ-51829","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/UNI_20260529_1011_091526_858_v_0199957445535_001.jpg?v=1788537875","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/jean-michel-blais-mirador","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
