Reviewed by Tony Cummings

Karen has a small, sweet voice - small but perfectly formed - and her renditions here of nine of her own wistfully, tremulous songs create a meditative mood. With her excellent, expressive piano and co-producer Mike Giddins providing creative and varied accompaniments the effect of worshipful introspection is maintained throughout. If you're looking for wistful, meditative music Nottingham-based Karen has created a delightfully delicate offering to sooth the soul.

excellent music that searches the soul and allows you to acknowledge the true self. All of the tracks acknowledge the nearness of the father, yet it is 'safe' to give to non christians. The music is a compelling listen, i am extremely challenged by the tracks, especially track 4, it brings the meaning of surrender home.
Best thing i have listened to in ages.

Yes - this will blow you away....
Karen gave me a copy of this cd to listen to, and it ministered long and deep. Excellent stuff too - very original.
The best cd I have heard in ages....

Karen - came across your music via pray as you go - as others have said, it's different from so much in this season, real and unique. Surrender - oh boy, tearing up plan B ! I hope there's more in gestation ... Walter

Hi Walter, thanks so much for your lovely comment! :)

Actually I've just completed a new EP called 'Silent Call'. It's been a long time coming, but it should be up on iTunes within a month. I'm just waiting for the artwork to be completed. Really hope you like it!

All the best to you, and thanks so much for getting in touch! Karen :)

Hi,
I just heard the song "Darling Hold On" and would love to get the lyrics to that. That song hits me at this time in my life.
Thank you.

Hi Sandi,

I'm guessing you might be going through a tough time.

I pray that God will meet your every need; comfort you, strengthen you and shower you with His love.

Hang in there.
Karen X

Darling Hold On

You feel so alone
Someone sees your frightened dreams
You cry on your own
Someone hears your silent screams
I know your days are dark
I know the rain won't stop
Darling please hold on
When reason's all but gone
How you want to run

Darling please hold on
Hold on

Don't stop Don't stop
Clinging to that shred of hope
It's so hard to see
All your dreams go up in smoke
I know your days are dark
I know the rain won't stop
Darling please hold on
When reason's all but gone
How you want to run

Darling please hold on
Hold on

One day you will see
How you're meant to be
The hand that held you down
Is nowhere to be found
One day you will be
How you're meant to be
The darkness will be gone

Darling please hold on.
