Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing his unprecedented streak of mood music successes, 'Tawny' finds the television star orchestrating a highly romantic, conceptual ballet suite. The album utilizes a massive string section and prominent, sensual horn solos to create an overwhelmingly lush, atmospheric listening experience. It stands as a prime example of ambitious, high-fidelity instrumental pop designed for sophisticated suburban consumption.
