Dance/Pop singer/songwriter Jerri Bokeno is releasing the deliriously ambient track “My Love Is Yours” on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2012, on Young Pals Music. The new song, perhaps her most sultry recording to date will premiere simultaneously on radio and all digital music platforms.
The haunting, sensuous song was produced by Ayhan Sahin, whose credits include projects with five “American Idol” finalists and productions with such superstars as Olivia Newton-John, Sandra Bernhard and Sezen Aksu.
Written by Bokeno, Susanne White and Sahin, it pledges never-ending love with poetic refrains sung and spoken in French and English. These three successful songwriters have joined forces to create another potential hit that universally speaks to lovers the world over.
Jerri Bokeno has collaborated and worked with superstars ranging from Phil Spector to Cher. She has served as lead vocalist for numerous dance groove groups, including El Coco, Downtown Girls and Coney Island Chorus Girls, as well as a featured vocalist for jazz aficionado David Benoit. She is thrilled to be working with Young Pals Music and looks forward to future singles and collaborations with producer and owner, Ayhan Sahin.
An accompanying music video lensed by Christopher Holmes/Holmeswood Features will showcase Bokeno in the upcoming months.
Sahin founded independent label Young Pals Music in 2007, working with international artists across the globe. Over the past five years, Young Pals has recorded, produced and released a half-dozen full-length projects for Canadian chanteuse Karine Hannah, as well as Chilean-American singer/songwriter Promis, “American Idol” Season 8 finalist Norman Gentle (the YouTube sensation “**** Slap”) Puerto Rican actor/singer Mitch Zorba, French artist Lybert Ramade, Russian artist Tinatin, Turkish singer/musician Emre Yilmaz and MTV “Making the Band” finalist Adam Shenk.

This is one of those tunes where minute attention to detail is everything. At root a sort of sensual meditation but shot through with sparks of sound to keep one captured. Neatly done. ftlpope
elements of "Enigma". Has it's own flare though and the female background vox is effective and brings 3D to the track.
