Prelude in D Major (single)
Chad Lawson
2020 / Decca
3 minutes
Review by Kathy Parsons
Chad Lawson has been an independent artist for quite a few years and has created and released some stunning music - much of it solo piano. With one of the most elegant piano touches in contemporary music, Lawson’s recent signing to the Decca label will make his music available to a much broader audience. With all of the chaos everywhere in the world right now, the timing couldn’t be better for Lawson’s soothing messages of hope and beauty.
Chad Lawson’s goal with his original music is to bring calm and stillness to those who hear it, allowing them to breathe and reconnect with who they are. “Prelude in D Major” hints at the grace and emotional depth of the music of Chopin, but remains very much in the present. Reflective and very dreamy, the truth in this music should easily bridge the generations and appeal to a universal audience.
