The second single to be released from the narrative of the album ‘No Plans, No Rules’, ‘Sensitive’ pulls focus on the theme of the experience of aligning two minds in their sensitivity, to completely understand another’s mind, in a lush jammed out pedal with a tight kit, ritch wurlitzer, voiced guitar & felt vocals.
The lyrics, deliberately spaced and brief, originate from a notebook of short poems I kept while residing in Pantin, France. Experiencing connection in a new location of the world became particularly important and I was making my first findings of incredible and unmatched intimacy through finding genuine connection.
There is nothing more intimate than two minds that completely understand each other – ‘Sensitive’ pays homage to this concept and is designed to bring your attention to the details – to sit in the groove and realise the underlying narrative the arrangement delivers.
In its initial stages, I was frequently consuming a large amount of piano centric jazz ballads and low felt neo-soul with tight and fast percussive elements – what has been a point of interest in a vast number of current jazz musicians. Finding particular underlying patterns and rhythmic ideas in these faster grooves is a real challenge, though equally exciting. The track was completely recorded over multiple jam sessions between keys/vocals and the initial groove” – Hugh Klein

Who Is Hugh Klein?
Raised in Melbourne Australia, following his ongoing career in film composition, Klein found himself living in Paris, giving birth to his loveliest and most realised project yet.Sourcing inspiration from romance, warm evenings, chilled red wine, floral scents, clothes waving and wrapping the curves of your body, gold and tobacco, “You go your way, I go your way too”, low light amongst white flowers, fingertips and of course… the look of love, Hugh directs his musical exploration to his deliberate fascination with intimacy and romance. With wide-spanning influence from pockets of Blue Note jazz & neo-soul to feature film scores, Hugh Klein is much more than his recorded ideas – rather, an ongoing story to be swept into and carried along.
Formerly working behind the scenes an assistant engineer at studios such as Red Bull Studios London in sessions with artists such as Jack Garrat, A$AP Rocky, Joe Goddard, as well as years of composing for film and TV (Vogue X Lily-Rose Depp, PUMA X ACCLAIM ‘Angels’).Upcoming record ‘No Plans, No Rules’ moves through themes of intimacy, adoration, the rebirth of desire and genuine romance, engaging each mood with floating vocals and guitar, brushed percussion, lush string arrangements and rich Rhodes & Wurlitzer’s
