Lawrence, known for his masterful gospel choir arrangements, takes on a new role with this project. At the request of the late legendary Edwin Hawkins, Lawrence has reimagined Hawkins' long-running Music & Arts Seminar, rebranding it as Music & Arts Global and expanding its international reach. "Words," penned by Lawrence, poignantly articulates the power of language in an era where civility is increasingly rare. The song encourages listeners to be mindful of their speech, emphasizing the potential for both harm and encouragement through our choice of words.
"In a time where civility is becoming less common I wanted to pen a song to remind all not to be so careless with their "Words," words carry an energy and intention. As a songwriter, I prefer to write from a biblical, Spiritual and lyrical psychotherapy perspective. A higher dimensions thinker and creator. The power of "Words" lies in being intentional and mindful of how you choose to use your words. I decided I won't harm you with my words, but I will encourage you with my words", shares Lawrence.
The "Music & Arts Global" project celebrates the gospel choir sound as a global art form, featuring classic Hawkins tunes alongside contributions from various singers and songwriters. It aims to inspire the next generation of choir creatives through music, lyrics, and love.
While not a traditional Donald Lawrence album, this live event recording showcases Lawrence's ability to curate and lead a diverse, international ensemble. The project took eight months to complete, primarily due to Lawrence's busy schedule. Lawrence plans to incorporate songs from "Music & Arts Global" into his upcoming Donald Lawrence & Co Tour, further spreading the message of global spiritual connectivity and love.
For listeners needing upliftment and ministering about the intentionality of words and the power of manifestation, look no further than "Words." Be sure to request "Words" on your favourite radio station and connect with Donald Lawrence for more music news
