Chad Lawson’s ‘Still Waters’, Feat. Rasika Shekar, Is The Calming Track The World Needs Right Now

Chad Lawson releases ‘Still Waters’ featuring Rasika Shekar, a meditative preview of ‘Awakening: The Stillness Within’.

Mumbai, 21^st April 2026: In a world overwhelmed by noise, Chad Lawson offers something rare, stillness. His latest single, ‘Still Waters’, has been released to a rousing reception, setting the tone for his upcoming album ‘Awakening: The Stillness Within’. Slated for release via Vedam Records in collaboration with Decca Records, the project is already positioning itself as a deeply immersive, cross-cultural sonic experience.

Talking about the song Chad Lawson says, “Still Waters came from a place of listening more than playing. Nothing was over-planned. It was about showing up, responding in the moment, and letting the music find its own way. Working alongside Rasika Shekar opened something up. A deeper trust in space, in silence, in not forcing anything. That felt connected to something much older than either of us and, it was beautiful. This track is about sitting with something instead of trying to fix it. Letting it settle. And realizing the quiet was already there. I smile every single time I hear this song as it brings me back to that moment of creative peace during the recording”.

As the title suggests, ‘Still Waters’ flows with a sense of quietude that feels almost therapeutic. The track delicately bridges Eastern and Western musical traditions, blending Lawson’s emotive piano with the ethereal flute of Rasika Shekar. The result is a soundscape that feels both expansive and intimate, designed not just to be heard, but to be felt. It’s music that invites listeners to slow down, breathe, and simply exist in the moment.

Talking about the collaboration, Faustin Missier, Business Head- Vedam Records shares, “Vedam Records exists to create music rooted in stillness and healing, and Chad Lawson felt like a natural extension of that space—his way of creating is intuitive, deeply present, and aligned with what we stand for. ‘Still Waters’, shaped in the moment with Rasika Shekar, is exactly that—no overthinking, just trust, silence, and allowing the music to arrive. It’s a quiet but powerful glimpse into Awakening: The Stillness Within, out May 8.”

As Vedam Records continues to champion music rooted in mindfulness and healing, this collaboration signals a growing global appetite for sound that soothes as much as it inspires. In 2026, ‘Still Waters’ isn’t just a song, it’s a pause we didn’t know we needed.
