A New Day

Oscar Pascasio has become known for his colourful,
yet sensitive performances across the globe and here on this charming new album
entitled, A New Day, he gifts us 10
tracks that will ease the mind and make the day seem that much softer.
The journey to this most charming musical narrative starts
with a dance; yes Mermaids Waltz is
a sublime and happy beginning, played with a lightness of touch and a
sensitivity of thought and mind.
There is much to enjoy on this album, for example the soft
but emotive tones of I Miss You, a
track and presentation that almost cries on your shoulder, a reflective
performance indeed by the artist.
I love my personal Solitude, and here on that very track Pascasio
manifests the perfect halcyon moment of solitary bliss, when the only demands
that are upon you, is to just enjoy the moment. A track played with such
calmness and peace, without doubt one of my favourite offerings from the album.
There are twists and turns on this release that are
fascinating, all manner of thoughts, and emotions are catered for here, like
the lightness of You Make Me Smile,
a track that does exactly what it says on the can, or our last composition
entitled Rest, a wonderfully
soothing musical narrative, one that without a mere thought will lull the
listener into a calming and peace filled reverie.
A New Day by Oscar Pascasio in my view is the best work thus far by the artist;
the gentle and tender performances on all 10 pieces are wonderfully warm and
blissfully soothing, there are many stand out offerings from the album, but
taken overall each and every composition creates a sense of tranquillity and
serenity, this is a fine quality for any musician to attain, and as such A New Day by Oscar Pascasio should become a firm favourite with his fans, and
all those who adore sublime moments of beautiful solo piano.
