Tenderness (2021) by EMRIK

TENDERNESS is the First single from our upcoming release CELEBRATION ( oct 1). Mixed by the mastermind OPOLOPO ( remix coming soon as well).
Tenderness is about tenderness, understanding, dancing, being seduced by feelings and music, follow your own Funk voice, being honest, and to stand up and fight for the truth.

The song was recorded live in Gothenburg by M-Rock & Wefunky band
(Sweden number one funk band with members from Stonefunkers, plus full horn section)

Inspired by the funk giants George, Sly, James, Roger, Bootsy, Larry, even some Quincy, and soulful voices of Aretha, Patrice, Chaka.

The duo of M-Rock and Johanna Hjort create that special loving feeling and bond. The world is upside down, but if we stick together, we can make it if we try, try a little harder..

Listen to the music, listen to the BasBerra Bass, Danny the dog’s keys, Agge’s guitar, Gonzo’s percussion, Johanna’s voice, Lade’s drums, listen to the music, listen to M-Rock & Wefunky Band

Video, promotional work, and cooperation with the Silvertwins of Funk, Fronkpac, and Matt the guitar man
