This may be peak Yanni. He of the soul patch, mustache, and synthesizers has announced a new album called Sensuous Chill, to be released on January 29.
Sensuous Chill. The name says it all, doesn’t it? There’s gonna be some harp. There’s gonna be some sax. There’s gonna be some alarmingly progressive dance beats thrown over the zipping-bee shrill of an army of violins. There’s gonna be vibes galore.
It’s easy to imagine Sensuous Chill killing in a bunch of different environs, too, right? Maybe like the Pyramids? Hopefully the Pyramids, because it would be embarrassing if it didn’t kill when Yanni performs it as part of an upcoming PBS special, called Yanni: The Dream Concert – Live from The Great Pyramids of Egypt. Yanni’s motivation for bringing Sensuous Chill to the Great Pyramids? Uh, pyramids are sexy, obviously. Yanni says, “I wanted to create a sensuous melodious and sexy environment for the listener; and I wanted it to last a long time!” Yes, Yanni. Sensuous Chill should last as long as one needs to be sensuously chilled.
Yanni is also going on tour, should the PBS special not be enough. Below you’ll find a full list of all the places you can take your lover to chill sensuously in public.
