Karen Salicath Jamali

Karen Salicath Jamali, a distinguished composer and pianist based in New York, introduces her latest masterpiece, “Dreams of Angels,” an extensive 16-track album that exemplifies a deep engagement with celestial energies. This sophisticated creation, executed with genuine authenticity and artistic clarity, invites listeners to embark on a transcendent musical adventure. Mastered by PARMA Recordings, “Dreams of Angels” effectively preserves the purity of Karen’s musical visions, which she asserts were inspired by dreams. Each composition was performed and recorded during the early morning hours, remaining untouched and unpracticed, thus encapsulating the delicate nuances of her spiritual encounters and illustrating the distinct characteristics attributed to various angelic figures.

The resulting collection provides a direct phonemic transmission of love, enlightenment, and spiritual awakening through a richly evocative sonic landscape. It is an emotional tapestry communicating serenity, wisdom, and a palpable transcendent purpose. Opening with a mesmerizing jazz-infused sensibility, “ArchAngel Metatron (The Angel of Life)” exudes euphoria with its stirring melody, setting the stage for the ensuing celestial odyssey. “Angel Gabriel (The Angel of Water)” seamlessly flows with an organic fluidity, exhibiting a reflective aura incorporating therapeutic undertones, effectively immersing audiences in divine tranquility.

As this celestial suite progresses, “Angel Gabriel’s Heart,” the fourth track, pulsates with soulful jazz tenderness, merging emotive melodies with evocative depth that touches the heart. “Angel Jophiel (The Angel of Illumination)” features a hypnotic trance-like effect, embodying timeless classical and contemporary jazz influences with rhythmic piano motifs.

“Angel Uriel (The Angel of Truth)” shifts the palette, presenting a dreamlike soundscape that invites introspection, wisdom, and inner revelation. Meanwhile, “Angel Israfil (The Angel of Music)” envelops the listener with ambient sophistication, creating a smooth, ethereal sound that evokes a sacred resonance.

The album further weaves themes of peace, courage, clarity, and nature throughout, culminating in “Angel Jeremiel (The Angel of Dreams),” a hauntingly beautiful finale that leaves an everlasting impression of divine harmony.

With “Dreams of Angels,” Karen Salicath Jamali solidifies her position as a pioneering artist who defies convention. She masterfully channels celestial vibrations into timeless soundscapes that offer an engaging and transformative sensory experience for those seeking universally enchanting spiritual transcendence.

Johanna Linnea Jakobsson delivers a wake-up call with genre-blending anthem ‘Work’

The-New-Standard

Johanna Linnea Jakobsson’s new single, “Work,” is a tender whisper reverberating big truths. With “Work,” Johanna knows vulnerability can be both a strength and a soundtrack. The song explores that very familiar feeling of being stuck. But instead of dramatizing it, she wraps the emotion in something tender and true.

Curtailing the velvet undertones of jazz with the earthy folk textures and the intimacy of singer/songwriter storytelling, “Work” sounds like a contemplative, honest, and quietly powerful rainy Sunday morning. From the opening note, the track has a lazy ease that calls to mind Norah Jones, its jazzy lilt, and soothing vocals coaxing you into the fold. The instrumentation is subtle but intentional, with acoustic guitar chords softly caressing a jazzy rhythm section, while delicate piano lines add an almost meditative dimension to the song. The production never overwhelms the message, and it adds emotional shading.

But where it works its magic is in the chorus, which is instantly memorable and deeply relatable. It captures the inner dialogue that so many of us know too well, the push to keep moving forward despite emotional exhaustion, and the quiet shame of not knowing how to ask for help. Instead of easy answers, Johanna gives us something better and a shared space of feeling seen.

The power of “Work” is in its restraint. It aspires to be glossy or overproduced. It breathes. It listens. And it gently whispers to the part of us that’s quietly screaming. There’s a healing there, especially when it comes packaged in this lush, genre-fluid arrangement.

Her delivery is full of warmth, playfulness, power, balance, and restraint, showing that she knows when to hold back and allow herself to fly.
