notes
Karen Fay has been songwriting for many years, collaborating with and singing backup vocals for bands in Arizona, California, and beyond the borders of the U.S.
Her music easily crosses over into many genres, transcending any particular category. She writes about experiences in life that shape and affect us, from love and hope to pain and sorrow. Her lyrics are thought-provoking, honest and introspective.
In May 2003, Karen collaborated with The Sandrails to record her demo. This five-song EP was essentially recorded live in the studio in one day with minimal arrangements, resulting in an uncomplicated, yet appealing sound.
In February 2004, Karen returned to the studio to record new material for "Empiric Lyric" with Jim Woodling and Danny Patterson of the Phunk Junkeez on guitars, and Ken Mary (Alice Cooper, Giuffria, House of Lords) on drums.
Although Karen's captivating vocals have been compared to many strong female singer-songwriters, she offers an impressive sound all her own.

Review by: Keith "MuzikMan" Hannaleck Karen Fay’s music and words held me spellbound on her new album Empiric Lyric. She gets her hooks in you right from the get go with the lead off track “Don’t Know.” It kicks into high gear with a rollicking rockin’ guitar followed by some wake up call lyrics. I very recently covered a CD and mentioned how the band was singing about how people seem to have such difficulty just being themselves. “Company Man” has similar cynical and cold hard truth to it, with an unbeatable rhythm and hooks all over the place. In fact, the entire album is like that. Fay is a wonderful vocalist that can come across with a hard bite or a soft touch to place emphasis upon her ever-changing emotional lyrics. Fay may look like the wholesome girl next door on the cover of this CD, but looks can be deceiving. She is a queen bee with a deadly sting, and she proves it from start to finish on her outstanding new recording. So offload all of your excess baggage with this music and don’t look back. Let’s rock ‘n’ roll! © Keith "MuzikMan" Hannaleck
