Pianist and composer Chad Lawson has released his new EP ‘Stay’ – a paean to inner peace and a clarion call to just exhale and breathe.
Composer and pianist Chad Lawson today released his major label solo piano debut EP Stay. Minimalism and melody meet on the five-track set which is a paean to inner peace and a clarion call to just exhale and breathe.
“The music I make is meant to create calm”
“This album was created as a respite, an avenue of sentiment that can only apply to the listener,” explained Chad Lawson. “I’m just trying to invite people to take a moment and reconnect with who they are. The music I make is meant to create calm. And now more than ever, that’s what the world needs to hear.”
Chad Lawson relies only on his faithful piano, his emotional signature sound, and eclectic taste for the five original compositions on his new EP Stay. He noted the title track is, “about finding those times that are fleeting but buffer the soul and you think: I don’t want this moment to end …That place of stillness where you can heal your wounds and rejuvenate and then go back into the real world.”
