Renowned composer and pianist Karen Salicath Jamali—also known simply as Karen Salicath—has outdone herself with her highly anticipated album, Dreams of Angels. This breathtaking 16-track collection is more than music; it’s a soulful journey through angelic realms, exploring themes of courage, peace, healing, and divine wisdom. Dreams of Angels invites you into a world that feels ethereal yet deeply human.

What makes this album truly remarkable is how it came to life. Karen didn’t just compose these pieces; she channeled them. Each track was recorded at dawn, around 5 a.m., in a single, unedited take on her cherished 80-year-old Steinway grand piano. Using only a Roland recorder and a Neumann microphone, she captured the pure, untouched beauty of each moment as it flowed through her. The result is a seamless, transcendent sound that’s as raw as it is otherworldly—a rare and moving invitation into the divine.

Each piece is dedicated to a specific angel, and the emotional depth is palpable. The opening track, Arcangel Metatron, honours the Angel of Life with reverent, flowing melodies, while Angel Raphael radiates the warm, comforting energy of the Angel of Healing. And then there’s White Angel—a deeply personal piece inspired by a sculpture Karen created to honour lost loved ones. This track has already won two awards at the Charleston International Music Competition, proving just how powerful and emotional her work truly is.

Karen’s journey to this point is as extraordinary as her music. Before becoming a composer, she spent over 30 years as a celebrated visual artist. But everything changed after a near-death experience in 2012. This life-altering event awakened a musical gift she never knew she had. During her three-year recovery, she started playing the piano intuitively—completely self-taught—and has since composed over 2,500 pieces. Along the way, she’s performed at Carnegie Hall eight times, proving that her music transcends genres and connects deeply with the soul.

Dreams of Angels has been lovingly mastered by PARMA Recordings, ensuring every nuance of Karen’s vision comes through crystal clear. Tracks like Angel Sandalphon bring a soft, meditative calm, while Angel Michael bursts with triumphant, uplifting energy. Together, the album weaves a rich, emotional narrative of love, compassion, and spiritual connection. Karen describes her music as an “energetic embrace of love,” and you can feel that warmth in every note.

Whether you’re looking for peace, inspiration, or just an escape, Dreams of Angels delivers an unforgettable experience. Get ready to be transported into a world of angelic soundscapes.This isn’t just music; it’s a heartfelt dialogue between Karen, her listeners, and the celestial energies that inspired her.
