Album information
New Chapter combines elements of musical theater with pop standards as well as operatic arrangements of classical pieces. It was produced by the Grammy Award-winning team of Michael and Ron Morales and co-produced by Mark Martin. The title of the album refers to a "new chapter" in Braswell's life after a car accident in 1995 rendered him silent for almost two years.[1] Braswell dedicates the recording to "all artists who have been in struggles, and somehow found their way with the voice they have been given."[2]
