Establishing the mood with an immersive guitar arpeggios with microtonal nuances, Karen Salicath Jamali opens Mary’s Song with her signature high spiritual quotient and ethereal vocals as she shares poetic prowess and conscious depth.
There is an undeniable cinematic allure that manifests with Mary’s Song and we could imagine it in the recent Hollywood blockbuster Mother Mary, starring Anne Hathaway, but also a film like The Forge or Ordinary Angels.
Karen’s delivery is sublime and raw as she shares syncopated notions that feel deeply human and truly aligned with God and source energy. Speaking on the release, Karen Salicath Jamali confesses, “Mary’s Song is about remembering the heart. In a world filled with constant noise, it is easy to lose touch with the quiet place within ourselves. This song was born from a longing to return to that stillness – to the place where we can truly listen, feel, and reconnect with who we are.”
We could imagine listening to this on a visit to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, or architectural masterpieces like Rome’s St. Peter’s Basilica, Barcelona’s Sagrada Família, and Rio’s Christ the Redeemer.
We learn that Mary’s Song serves as one of Karen’s most personal creations. She shares how it is a piece that emerged from a quiet moment of inner listening. The song, poignantly released on the new moon in Cancer, explores the return to the heart. It is inspired by the natural presence and curiosity of children, which Karen created as a reminder that this sense of inner-child connection is still available within us.
Through this release, Karen also introduces Quintessence Music. This is a style based on creating from a place of peace and deep connection. It is inspired by the idea of an invisible force that connects all life, the element of spirit – the 5th element.
We are always in awe of what Karen Salicath Jamali creates, and have added the sublime Mary’s Song to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the exquisite wider discography of the visionary award-winning composer and Carnegie Hall performer.
