Review of burnt orange

This album is a delight. Life affirming, and uplifting, the singer-songwriter caresses us with her lilting voice accompanied by fine instrumentals. Featuring a mixture of base, flute, and guitar, with accents of vibraphones and bells set to jazzy, bluesy, or contemporary beat, the music never disappoints. From the dreamy to the sublime Karen lulls us into her world, and while there we find ourselves awash in our own dreams and desires. 

The song Canopy of Love, soft and dreamy, celebrates life and the beauty that can be seen in people as they walk among the majesty of nature. Set to a beautiful flute melody, and soft background guitar, you just feel happy listening to this one.

That was Before, with it’s soft rock music, tells the story of a time of innocence and naïveté. The story chronicles the awakening of truth and disappointment in a bad relationship. A nice guitar tune with flute and bells accompany this nice song. 

I Know, set to contemporary music with a mix of instruments, reflects on the differences between a couple. One wants to put aside time to enjoy life, while the other can’t seem to leave the troubles of the world behind. 

I Remember Them All is a beautiful song of remembrances with the revelation that people all over the world want most of all to love and care for each other. A nice soft rock beat is perfect for this upbeat song.

Thru and Thru is a bluesy, funky song featuring vibraphones, base, guitar, drums  and flute. Interesting music is the highlight of this song with mystical lyrics.

The catchy folk song Too Many tells the story of a person who suddenly realizes that their life is passing by. It’s difficult to be happy when you’re with the wrong person.

I Don’t Care what you Think is a fun song about those loud, opinioned, overbearing people we run across in daily lives.  Drums, guitar and flute comprise this soft rock song. 

Exotic music and silky smooth vocals come together to make the song My World fun and engaging. 
Sometimes our desires push us out of our nice little world only to find disaster in the making. 

I love the songs on this album. With beautiful music we can contemplate what it’s like to be human, and getting hurt along the way is the price we pay in our quest for happiness.

Burnt Orange is an absolute pleasure!  A breath of fresh air... The music is so earthy and sweet, with such refreshing lyrics.   Like a lovely, languid Summer's day...
