Cinematic, piano-driven songs with powerful female vocals and inspiring messages; Karen Jacobsen’s new album THE SLIPSTREAM is the musical hug the world needs right now. 

The Album The Slipstream comprises 10 original songs by Karen Jacobsen, ranging in theme from humankind’s quest for meaning to songs of comfort and healing. Couldn’t we all use a little of that right now? With cinematic and piano driven performances by Karen, the melodies are timeless and layered female vocals add a transcendent quality to the recordings.

Produced by Matt Anthony (Darius Rucker, Shinedown, Pat Monahan of Train) at Engine Sound in New York City, recording began remotely in late 2021, immediately after the release of Karen’s 10th studio album READY FOR WHAT I CAME HERE FOR. With an abundance of material, and a creative focus enabled by the pandemic, the songs were recorded across time zones and distance between Karen's new location half a world away near Australia's Great Barrier Reef, and Matt's studio in the North-East of the United States (9560 miles away).

When asked about the message behind her music, Jacobsen said “for many of us, these times have been a jolt, followed by an opportunity to take a stark look at our lives and what we want to experience. I personally know many friends who have made big decisions about their futures; from where they live to what they spend their time doing. It’s been an era of getting clear about what is truly important, while managing the devastating global news cycle.”

From the album THE SLIPSTREAM:

Karen says” "All of the music and the first lines of the verse came during a meditation. A full download. Many of the lyrics poured out as a result of despairing watching the news. Humanity is experiencing a massive shift, and comfort is what many of us need. I know I do. Rather than my having written this song, It’s as if the song wrote me.”

Insights, sadness, perseverance, hope, like a light coming through.

On October 9th 2012, Australia’s first female Prime Minister Julia Gillard AC delivered a powerful speech addressing misogyny and sexism that reverberated around the world. Her impassioned words carried the strength and power of a long history of persecuted women. Voice in a billion devices (including the original Aussie voice of Siri), International Songwriter, Concert Artist and Professional Speaker Karen Jacobsen was so inspired by this iconic speech, she composed a pop orchestral work setting those words - word for word - to music (with permission). The live concert world premiere performance of 'Misogyny Opus' is on April 29th 2023 featuring Karen Jacobsen as soloist with musicians from the Queensland Symphony Orchestra at the Mackay Entertainment and Convention Centre in Queensland, Australia.

I thought for a long time that there was a slipstream of energy to "get to" where all the magic is; and that I had to be a certain way to access it. I was trying hard to find it, not knowing where to look. The song THE SLIPSTREAM is about human struggle. It turns out the magic isn't "out there". It's accessed by tuning in to who you really are and what you are here for.
