Belgian pianist Jean-François Maljean is hitting all the right notes with his latest album, CHOR, released October 1. Dedicated to those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the project blends soulful melodies and cross-cultural vibes to champion global solidarity. 🎶
The album features fan-favorites like The Bells of Dawn and De Wuhan à Paris, tracks that became pandemic anthems for many. Six new compositions aim to soothe post-pandemic stress, offering listeners a musical escape. But the star track? Living Together—Maljean’s first-ever Chinese-language song, mixing Hubei chime traditions with piano magic. 🎵✨
“Music connects us when words fail,” Maljean said, describing the album’s theme of collective resilience. Whether you’re a classical music fan or just vibing with TikTok’s piano covers trend, this album’s message hits home: we’re stronger together. 💪❤️
