Yanni Truth Of Touch - Album Review

 

 


I was recently given the opportunity to review Yanni's new album, Truth Of Touch. This is Yanni's first instrumental release of original compositions in over eight years and is a return to the genre Yanni helped create and advance.

 

 


Track List:

1. Truth of Touch
2. Echo of a Dream
3. Seasons
4. Voyage
5. Flash of Color
6. Vertigo
7. Nine
8. Can't Wait
9. Guilty Pleasure
10. O Luce Che Brilla Nell'Oscurita
11. I'm So
12. Long Way Home
13. Yanni & Arturo
14. Mist of a Kiss
15. Secret


I had never heard of Yanni before this review offer popped up, but according to Wikipedia he's been around for a while and was even nominated for a few Grammy Awards in the 1990s.

My overall opinion: I enjoyed listening to the whole album. The melodies are so pretty and so relaxing. I love to play any music in the background of my busy life and this album this is the kind of music I like to have playing in the background when I have some time to relax with a book.

I personally like to add some instrumental music in my playlist but think that if you are a ‘Top 40’ type of person you won't find this album to be your style. But I'll be adding Yanni's Truth Of Touch to my playlist!

 

 


Are you a fan? Do you want to see Yanni in person? Well on March 22 Yanni launched a 40-date tour of the U.S. The tour will take him through theaters in major cities across the U.S. including Radio City Music Hall in New York City and the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles.

  1. Black shoes, black pants, tight black t-shirt, shoulder length black wavy hair. Yes, Yanni was in concert in Jacksonville, Florida Thursday night. The concert was simply unforgettable.
    Even though I recognize only two or three of his older songs, I still enjoyed the concert.
    You Rock Yanni.
