mirador, the fourth album from Montreal pianist and composer Jean-Michel Blais, is out today. It is Blais’ first release following his critically acclaimed collaborative album with Lara Somogyi, released last year. The new record finds the Montreal artist turning his gaze onto a wide, wondrous world, exchanging contemporary minimalism for a light and generous maximalism.

In support of the album’s release, Blais has shared  a new film created with longtime collaborator and director Adrian Villagomez. Part live session, part narrative film, the piece brings the world of mirador to life through two parallel stories. As two young boys follow the logic of imagination rather than that of the adults around them, the film gradually slips between the everyday and the surreal, leaving the boundary between the two deliberately unresolved.

mirador is an odyssey that spans choirs, strings and the music of the Andes, from Spanish caves to Estonian forests and all the way back to the basement in Nicolet, Québec, where Blais first imagined adventures. As a musical kid and, even if he wasn’t fully aware of these things yet, as a queer person, with Tourette’s, Blais’s hideaway was his imaginary lookout, his “mirador,” from which he could dream the world.

“Despite everything, mirador takes shape and reaches you. Starting from a hazy dream, taking the detours in stride, improvising, falling, getting back up, and pushing on, until arriving somewhere—often where we never planned to go. That's a bit like life, too. From the child's daydream in each of us to its fulfillment, mirador is above all the result of a deeply collective effort, of which I am only the visible tip of a huge iceberg”

With more than 375 million streams globally to his name, mirador began with Blais reflecting on childhood memories of building imaginary worlds in his parents’ basement. The album’s title references those early “lookout” spaces, places of refuge, invention and possibility. Working with composer and arranger William Brittelle (LA Philharmonic, The National), he assembled a choir of 12 baroque singers and then added a string quartet of his friends. Blais also enlisted Tulio Velazco Villagra, a master of Andean instruments. Elsewhere, residencies at the Arvo Pärt Centre informed the meditative atmosphere. The result is Blais’ most adventurous and transportive work yet, an album that moves fluidly between folk traditions, contemporary composition and cinematic storytelling while holding onto a sense of intimacy throughout.

Today, Montreal pianist and composer Jean-Michel Blais shares “mirador”, the title track from his forthcoming fourth album, released September 25 on Arts & Crafts. Following “ulysse” and “carnavalito”, “mirador” brings Blais to the heart of a record shaped by childhood, imagination and the places we create in order to look out onto the world. Hauntingly beautiful, the piece begins with the pulse and breath of a choir before Blais’ piano slowly emerges, its gentle melody surrounded by voices that gather, dissolve and gather again.

The title track takes its name from the imaginary lookout Blais created for himself as a child in his parents’ basement in Nicolet, Québec. As a musical kid and, even if he wasn’t fully aware of these things yet, as a queer person with Tourette’s, this private world became a place of refuge and possibility: somewhere from which he could dream of everything that might exist beyond it.

On “mirador”, Blais returns to that lookout from the other side of childhood. What was once solitary becomes collective, with piano and human voices moving around one another until they finally converge on a single triad. It captures something central to the album itself: memory not as something fixed, but something that can be revisited, rearranged and shared.

Speaking about “mirador”, Blais says:
“‘mirador’ is at the same time the title of the album and of this single. It’s a Spanish word, with ‘mira’ meaning ‘to look’. So, a ‘mirador’ a lookout or a tower from which you protect a castle… ‘mirador’ for me is this place that as a kid, I would go to travel time and space. I had Tourettes, and as a queer kid I had a hard time, sometimes, to find my way in society. So I would go to the basement, like the one depicted on the album cover, where we had a bunch of VHS, CDs and vinyl, through which I would feel like I could travel the world.”

With more than 375 million streams globally to his name, Blais began mirador by reflecting on childhood memories of building imaginary worlds in his parents’ basement. From there, the record expands far beyond those walls: an odyssey spanning choirs, strings and the music of the Andes, travelling from Spanish caves to Estonian forests and eventually finding its way home to Québec.

Working with composer and arranger William Brittelle (LA Philharmonic, The National), Blais assembled a choir of 12 baroque singers before adding a string quartet of friends. He also enlisted Tulio Velazco Villagra, a master of Andean instruments, while residencies at the Arvo Pärt Centre informed the album’s meditative atmosphere.

The result is Blais’ most adventurous and transportive work yet, exchanging contemporary minimalism for a light and generous maximalism while retaining the intimacy that has always sat at the centre of his music. If the childhood mirador was somewhere Blais could retreat to and imagine the world beyond him, the album that bears its name finds him opening that space up: looking backwards, outwards and towards the future.

MORE ABOUT JEAN-MICHEL BLAIS
Jean-Michel Blais is a Montreal based pianist, composer and performer signed to Arts & Crafts and Mercury KX (Decca). In the first decade since the release of his landmark 2016 debut album, II, the classically trained Blais has defined his music through the reverent intimacy he shares with his instrument, the piano. Named in TIME’s Top 10 Best Albums of the Year, the magazine described his improvisation inspired debut as “music that breathes, invites one to take a moment, and acknowledges that there is still much beauty in the world.”

Through this connection with the piano, the multiple Polaris Music Prize shortlisted and two time JUNO Award nominated artist has reached audiences around the world. He has performed one of the largest neoclassical concerts in history to nearly 40,000 people at the Montreal Jazz Festival, collaborated with the Orchestre de l’Agora and the Orchestre symphonique de Québec, and amassed more than 397 million streams across a catalogue that includes the ambient and new age inspired Dans ma main (2018), which drew influence from the music that soothed his Tourette syndrome as a child, the Félix Award winning aubades (2022), his first exploration of composition for chamber orchestra, and désert (2025), a collaborative album with American harpist Lara Somogyi.

His diverse résumé also encompasses the Cannes Award winning Matthias & Maxime (2019) soundtrack, the twilight inspired serenades EP (2023), and Cascades (2017), created with producer CFCF. Together, these works continue Pitchfork’s observation of the “thrilling synchronization of piano and electronics” that has become a defining thread throughout his catalogue.

On mirador, his fourth studio album, released in September 2026, Blais embarks on an expansive, beneath the surface odyssey spanning choirs, strings and the music of the Andes. Travelling from Spanish caves to Estonian forests before returning home to tiny Nicolet, Québec, mirador opens listeners’ eyes onto Blais’ wide, wondrous and deeply personal world. It is an aspirational journey that exchanges contemporary minimalism for a light, generous maximalism.

Throughout his discography, Blais has used instrumentation and composition as tools of personal expression, subtly revealing different facets of his identity as a queer artist, perpetual traveller, student and caregiver, often through the lens of his upbringing. Four albums into his career, Jean-Michel Blais is no longer simply charting the map of his grown up heart. On mirador, he offers a new perspective on childhood: a vivid and vicarious invitation to listen again, gazing ahead into the imaginary.

Today, Montreal pianist and composer Jean-Michel Blais shares his new single, “carnavalito”, the latest track to be taken from his forthcoming fourth album mirador, released September 25, 2026 on Arts & Crafts. Following previous single “ulysse”, “carnavalito” offers another glimpse into an album that finds Blais turning his gaze onto a wide, wondrous world, exchanging contemporary minimalism for a light and generous maximalism. It is an odyssey that spans choirs, strings and the music of the Andes, from Spanish caves to Estonian forests and all the way back to the basement in Nicolet, Québec, where Blais first imagined adventures.

As a musical kid and, even if he wasn’t fully aware of these things yet, as a queer person, with Tourette’s, Blais’ hideaway was his imaginary lookout, his “mirador,” from which he could dream the world.

Speaking about “carnavalito”, Blais says:
“Fiesta de la quebrada, humahuaqueña para cantar (andean trad.). My crossing of the Andes leads me to Quito, where an elderly instrument seller finally reveals what I had been seeking for months: my three favourite bands are playing at the same festival, Inti Raymi, The Festival of the Sun. Suddenly I find myself overlooking Otavalo, high in the cordillera, searching for tickets to see Charijayak, Los Kjarkas and Bonnie Alberto Terán, the only white face among a mocking crowd. My search leads me backstage, helping the technical crew with the setup. One of the most beautiful days of my life, dancing the carnavalito.”
