Many "best of" albums have a rather haphazard feel to them, but this one holds together and makes perfect sense while providing a lovely overview of Govi's "Lovers Moon" can "Magellan's Beat." "Torero" smolders, "Sailing Away" drifts peacefully, and 'Sangria' is light and bubbly. Melodic and accessible, this is great music for a romantic picnic or garden party. It is complex enough to be completely involving, but smooth enough for a backdrop for other activities. Your Lingering Touch is excellent from start to finish! Kathy Parsons, Solo Piano Publication
Govi has been one of our most frequently played artists at NRB. His song styles are always creative and enjoyable. He does a great job of blending acoustic and electric guitars along with nylon string sound of the ever popular Nouveau Flamenco style. Here is a beautiful collection of his more romantic pieces. For a more exuberant style, try his other collection No Strings Attached." Steve Fischer, New Ren Books
For several years now, Govi’s scintillating guitar work has been a favorite of contemporary-instrumental music fans. Your Lingering Touch Combines elements of jazz, flamenco, New Age, and world music in a refreshing instrumental masterpiece. Flute, bass, keyboards, percussion, and more complement Govi’s Latin-tinged, guitar-based compositions. Favorite tracks include the sweet “Tears of Joy.” “In Harmony,” a quietly reflective piece, showcases Govi’s exquisite electric-guitar mastery. Without a doubt, Your Lingering Touch contains some of Govi’s best work to date. For fans of Govi, of the guitar, and of contemporary instrumental music, this album is essential." New Age Retailer
Dreamy guitar melodies are a Govi specialty, luscious love songs flowing from playful flirtation to smoldering slow dance. To intensify the passion in your life, Your Lingering Touch draws together Govi’s romantic best from Guitar Odyssey, Passion & Grace, Cuchama, Heart of a Gypsy and Sky High." White Swan Music
With this collection of beautiful pieces from albums including Guitar Odyssey, Cuchama, and Heart of a Gypsy and Sky High, Govi gives listeners the perfect showcase of passion and grace on the Flamenco guitar. Instead of frantic fingerwork or flashy riffs, Govi’s style is soft and laid back, capturing a tropical ambiance that is both richly melodic and universally appealing. Songs like “Tears of Joy” and “Sky High” have a dreamy, emotional side that combines with warm rhythms for a sound that’s as smooth and gentle as an island breeze. As the name implies, Govi’s touch lingers in the mind sparking ideas of romantic escapes and quiet moments of togetherness. Music Design In Review
