Biography

In a decade that spans five critically acclaimed albums, “cinematic” pianist Marc Enfroy has become a leading artist in the neo classical world and has appeared as high as #2 on the Billboard New Age Albums chart. Drawing from rock, classical, cinematic, progressive rock and pop vocals, he intricately interweaves crystalline piano, orchestral strings, haunting voices and dreamlike elements for a lush, immersive sound, completely blurring the lines across genres.

Enfroy’s latest release, Crossroads, is an intriguing entry in his five-album oeuvre. It’s darkly majestic with symphonic rock flourishes and contains three songs with hauntingly beautiful female vocals. The album grapples with relationship ruptures, consequence, and the fear of new beginnings. A rousing minor key melodic piano motif opens “Your Silence is a Razor” setting the scene for Aili Laine’s stirring and sensualvocals. Here she sings about the painful complexity of being iced out of an intimate connection without any channels of communication between the warring parties. Another highlight is the track “Fading White” featuring Lila Ives. It starts softly as a piano ballad and builds to a climactic finish as Lila’s voice soars above a spacious section of brilliant strings. The title track is a foreboding instrumental with elegantly elegiac strings. It conjures a dizzying scene of sudden and profound change where the death of the past becomes something to mourn, and the uncertainty of the future is anxiety inducing.

Crossroads represents an artistic breakthrough for Marc Enfroy. Contemplating the album, and the lessons it’s gifted him, Enfroy says: “The biggest thing for me has been realizing I can show all the different sides of my personality. I’ve learned it’s okay to be fearlessly vulnerable with my music.”
