On Tenderness, Jay Som is able to make a compelling track that opens up with little more than softly-sung vocals and a sequenced drum beat / guitar back drop. When the song opens up (at around the 1:20 mark), the instrumental dynamic become more dense and thrushier, a response to the higher registers Jay Som reaches. The interesting arrangements continue through to the second half of Tenderness. A subtle update to the 1980s style of The Pointer Sisters and later electro-funk style of Chromeo, Jay Som imbues
