Sadly, that is not the case. (As an aside, what would a new age Barry White album even sound like?) However, his latest release does have a lot to love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, I love the album\u2019s cover art. This might be the first time that one of his album covers really stuck with me. It obviously doesn\u2019t affect the music at all, but I just wanted to mention it. \u201cBeloved\u201d features 11 tracks, some featuring guest musician Kevin Braheny Fortune, and some featuring vocals from Juliet Lyons,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, it\u2019s difficult to put the listening experience into words. Avgerinos excels at ambient new age, making most of tracks excellent for meditation, relaxation, and gentle stretching. Many of the tracks feel sensual without being overtly sexual, if that makes sense. Although, I could imagine the album being nice for some sexy couple\u2019s stretching, if that\u2019s your thing. I quite enjoy the title track \u201cBeloved\u201d and I adore the water effect in the song \u201cFlow in Oneness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to treat yourself, or someone else you love, to a wonderful listening experience, I highly recommend \u201cBeloved\u201d by Paul Avgerinos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Beloved by Paul Avgerinos\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6HD62y6gvhM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can learn more <a href=\"https:\/\/roundskymusic.com\/beloved-by-paul-avgerinos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you enjoy The Magical Buffet?
