An album with a unique sound that is drippin with vibe, and catchy enough for radio airplay. California kick back and kick a**. Karen mixes it up in this eclectic debut. There is something here for everyone with all original compositions ranging from rock to jazz, and acoustic. Impressive instrumentation provided by seasoned guest professionals Kenny Edwards (Stone Poneys, Karla Bonoff, Bryndle) and Jeff Pevar (CPR, Crosby Stills & Nash, Ricky Lee Jones, Ray Charles Orchestra) These guys get to stretch on this release. Karen's voice massages the ear and sooths to the bone. Deep, passionate, dynamic and subtle she delivers a colorful pallet of emotion reflected in her introspective lyrics about desire and disappointment. Clean production where you can taste every flavor. A huge yet uncluttered sound. Guitar fans will love this one too. Everything from cool smooth jazz to Hendrix with a bit of Neil Young grunge thrown in for good measure.
