Karen Salicath Jamali’s latest release, Dreams of Angels, invites listeners on a celestial journey through 16 piano compositions that embody the energies of different angels. Released on November 22, this album captures the essence of peace, courage, and divine wisdom through unfiltered and intuitive musical expressions.
Each piece was composed and recorded in a single take at the early morning hour of 5 a.m., using an 80-year-old Steinway grand piano. With minimal equipment, a Roland recorder and a Neumann microphone, the result is an organic and deeply authentic sound that feels like an ethereal embrace. The album, mastered by PARMA Recordings, is a seamless blend of Karen’s intuitive playing and the distinct energies of angels such as Metatron, Gabriel, and Raphael.
The opening track, “Arcangel Metatron,” sets the tone with a reflective and calming melody that invites introspection about life’s mysteries. It is followed by the flowing “Angel Gabriel,” which mirrors the serenity of a gentle river. “Angel Gabriel’s Heart” introduces a contemplative tone, acting as a mediator between mortal and divine realms.
“Angel Jophiel,” a tribute to the angel of beauty, carries a soft, uplifting energy, encouraging listeners to see the world through eyes of wonder. In contrast, “Angel Uriel” offers a bittersweet blend of hope and fear, echoing the emotional journey of confronting truths.
