Following the expansive beauty of Sketches of Tallinn, Rossano Snel takes a confident step in a different direction with The Fire In The Forest. While his gift for atmosphere remains intact, ‘Try It With A Little Tenderness’ introduces a more rhythmic, ensemble-driven approach, built around the interplay of piano, Hammond organ, and drums. The result is a piece that values momentum as much as melody, allowing subtle changes to shape its emotional arc.

The track is driven by a hypnotic piano motif that steadily anchors the composition while the drums establish a relaxed yet persistent groove. Rather than chasing dramatic peaks, Snel lets repetition become expressive, with the Hammond organ gradually enriching the arrangement through warm, soulful textures. The music unfolds naturally, balancing precision with an understated sense of spontaneity that reflects the chemistry of a working band.

‘Try It With A Little Tenderness’ signals an exciting new chapter for Snel. Blending jazz harmony with touches of soul and instrumental groove, it expands his musical vocabulary without losing the thoughtful character that has always defined his work. It is an inviting preview of a two-track project that embraces rhythm, collaboration, and quiet musical confidence.
