Setting the tone with an elegant piano performance, Yannis Koser opens Touch of Tenderness with intrigue and instrumental mastery, needless to say, we are mesmerized.
The opus expands with a dimensional performance, full of charisma and emotion, as the composer showcases his prowess and authenticity. We appreciate the timeless nature of the arpeggiated structures, and the ebbs and flows of the piece with brief meditative moments that add dynamism to the already enchanting performance.
The finale of the composition takes on a cerebral edge with minor notes that evoke a sentiment of curiosity, inviting us to play Touch of Tenderness on repeat, and explore Yannis Koser‘s wider discography.
Speaking on the intention of the composition, the rising artist from Belgium confesses, “Tenderness can take many forms and meanings, but above all, it’s a powerful energy that can enrich our lives and the lives of others, and create deep connections between people. It can also heal emotional wounds.”
Yannis continues, “Tenderness can be considered an intense force of love and affection, as it allows us to connect with others in a gentle and loving way, thereby strengthening the emotional trust and security between individuals. It can also have beneficial effects on our mental and physical health. It can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, and promote better sleep quality and greater resilience in the face of life’s challenges.”
The piece is accompanied by an artwork created by Yannis himself, designed to add a visual dimension to the experience. The star tells us, “The vibrant and intense colours express the power of the energy of tenderness, offering an explosion of colourful energy like a flag of love and passion. The soothing blue colours create a reassuring atmosphere and healing, while the greens bring a sense of relief and relaxation… The reds create a vibrant, hypnotic, and captivating image, while the combination creates the colour purple which represents strong and complex emotions such as love, desire, and sensuality…”
We learn that Yannis Koser is an artist-composer, as well as an advanced sex educator, with a “groundbreaking approach to holistic sexuality”. With reference to this, he comments, “My music has a strong connection with art and sexuality, expressed poetically and evocatively by linking tenderness as an energy and positive force.”
We deeply appreciate what Yannis Koser is creating, and the symbiosis between sex, art and music. We have added Touch of Tenderness to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to explore Yannis Koser‘s wider discography including his first two singles, Eternal Hope, and Love Revelation.
