MUMBAI: Global superstar Yanni announces a new album and PBS Special with corresponding DVD and Blu-Ray. His new album, ‘Sensuous Chill’, is available worldwide via Sony Music Masterworks imprint Portrait Records on 29 January, 2016. His new PBS Special – Yanni: The Dream Concert–live from the Great Pyramids of Egypt – will air nationwide in March. A DVD and Blu-Ray of the special will be available as well.

‘Sensuous Chill’ comes mere weeks after Yanni made history with two sold out performances at the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Yanni’s first new release since 2014’s chart-topping ‘Inspirato’, the album features Yanni exploring new realms of sound and creativity inspired by his extensive world travels. Tracks like ‘Rapture’ and the bhangra-spiced ‘Dance For Me’ are among the most physically stimulating on ‘Sensuous Chill’ offering a new sonic perspective on his adventures and experiences amidst myriad aspects of global culture.

Adds Yanni, “India is special to me, I have great love and respect for the people and their cultural heritage. The track ‘Dance For Me’ has been inspired by my many experiences in India. I have been fortunate to have visited India several times and I have had the pleasure of learning about your music from my interaction with several Indian musical artists. These moments in life are reflected in the music that I write. I am looking forward to performing in India soon.”

Yanni – accompanied by his 15-member international orchestra – celebrates ‘Sensuous Chill’ with a major North American tour, embarking on 2 February, 2016 in Sarasota, FL at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall and then travelling into the spring.
