Lilt? Trill? Oh yes!
I live by the sea and I write poetry - Karen's voice is the sea, it is the poetry.
I heard her sing Stars Fell on Alabama at a friend's house in Maine - as good as I've ever heard the song sung - a favorite of mine.
I am waiting for her to do jazz anthems and the American songbook - Stars Fell on Alabama of course, I Cover the Waterfront, How High the Moon, and so on.
Take a look at The Space Between and House of Wills (both CDs are available on iTunes).
I heard her sing On the Sunny Side of the Street on House of Wills (Will Taylor & Strings Attached) - as good as I've ever heard the song sung - another favorite of mine.
& Suitcase Full of Memories on The Space Between.
Both CDs highly recommended.
More projects in the works. Keep a jazz ear out for Karen Mal.
Note: Originally from Connecticut, Karen now lives in Austin, Texas.
