It seems like decades have rolled past since I heard my first Curtis Macdonald song, then I shocked myself by actually looking, 2002 and an album called Shadow Crossing. Here some 23 years later, as we draw to the end of another year, the master of instrumental pop is back with another new and classy composition called Deciding a Simple Life.

Curtis and his keyboards are a thing of great beauty, at times manifesting a sun kissed moment, then a reflective segment of great poignancy, but always that subtle and beautiful fluency is there, like a second hand on a watch, never ceasing, always reassuring. 

The slow build and intermediary narrative reminds me of US keyboardist Holland Phillips, whilst we march onto the chorus and melody which could easily be a pop song, with lyrics. Macdonald is a genius at creating the sweet sound melodies, and on this new single he has created a thoughtful arrangement that will be loved by fans and musical aficionados alike, a guaranteed hit is on the cards for Deciding a Simple Life by Curtis Macdonald.
