Dreams of Angels: Karen Salicath’s Invitation to the Divine

Let’s be honest, music is everywhere. It’s blasting from every corner, flooding every app, and trying to squeeze its way into every moment of your day. And today we are going to tell you a story about something truly remarkable, both musically and spiritually. It’s about Karen Salicath’s latest album, Dreams of Angels. Something that stands apart from the usual shuffle of tracks on your morning commute. This 16-track masterpiece dropped on November 2024, and trust me, it’s an entirely different creation. Raw, unfiltered, and purely divine.

What is Dreams of Angels?

Karen Salicath Jamali, known professionally as Karen Salicath, has composed an album that feels less like a product and more like a portal. Recorded in single takes on her 80-year-old Steinway grand piano, each piece channels the ethereal energies of angels like Metatron, Gabriel, and Raphael. The result? A soundscape that moves between courage, healing, and peace. All while keeping your feet firmly planted in this chaotic world. Using nothing more than a Roland recorder and a Neumann microphone, Karen captured these pieces as they were. No polish, no second chances. This is not that shinny album for your overproduced playlists. In the way I hear it and feel it, this is music as it happens, intuitive and honest.

A Life Shaped by Angels

To truly appreciate Dreams of Angels, you need to know Karen Salicath’s story. And trust me… what a story it is! Born in Denmark, she spent over three decades as a painter, sculptor, and photographer before a life-altering head injury in 2012 flipped her world upside down. This accident changed everything. It sparked a creative awakening that transformed her life. After three years of recovery, Karen suddenly found herself composing music she had never studied, guided by dreams and intuition.

Since then, she’s composed over 2,500 pieces and performed at Carnegie Hall eight times. Her connection to angels it’s a thread that’s run through her life and work, from her sculptures to her paintings and now to her music. With Dreams of Angels, Karen takes this connection to its ultimate expression, inviting listeners to experience the same spiritual embrace she felt while creating each piece.

Why Dreams of Angels Matters

Did you have a listen already to the album on top? Let’s not kid ourselves! This music isn’t here to play nice in the background while you scroll through cat videos. Because each Karen’s track demands your attention, your willingness to step out of the daily routine and into something bigger. From the opening notes of “Arcangel Metatron,” which honours the Angel of Life, to the award-winning “White Angel,” inspired by Karen’s sculpture dedicated to lost loved ones. I started listening – and, more importantly – truly hearing all kind of genres in music about 45 years ago. And let me get straight to the point: this album is a masterclass in emotional depth.

And it doesn’t stop there. The album’s production, mastered by PARMA Recordings, ensures every nuance. Every gentle keystroke and resonant pause. And it hits you right where it matters. Tracks like “Angel Sandalphon” and “Angel Michael” weave triumphant energy with serene moments, leaving you both grounded and uplifted.

A Personal Touch

Karen composes with a deeper connection, as if drawing directly from another realm. Did I saw drawing? Just to let you know what I am talking about – check Karen’s visual art masterpiece here. “This album, I received in dreams, is all about the energy from different angels,” she says. “It is an energetic embrace of love in sound. It is about peace, compassion, love, light, life, truth, healing, wisdom, and courage.”

If that sounds a bit grand, it is. But Karen’s music has a way of breaking down those grand ideas into something deeply human. It’s not about understanding. Believe me, it’s all about feeling.

A Legacy in the Making

Karen Salicath’s journey from visual artist to composer is nothing short of extraordinary. With over 180 exhibitions across the globe, including the Louvre Museum in Paris, Karen has built a legacy in the art world that few can rival. Her sculptures, many of which are now permanent installations, speak to the universality of human emotion. In music, she’s equally impressive: over 2,500 compositions, eight solo performances at Carnegie Hall, and recognition for her albums Angel Pollination and Hope of Angels on the Grammy ballot. Karen is also a voting member of the Recording Academy, further cementing her influence and commitment to the arts. Her previous works, like Angel Pollination and Hope of Angels, have already earned her Grammy considerations. With Dreams of Angels, she solidifies her place as a force in contemporary classical music. A self-taught genius who’s turning dreams into reality.

Why You Should Listen

In a world that feels more and more disconnected, Dreams of Angels offers a rare moment of peace and clarity. I see this as reminder that art doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful. Sometimes, it’s the imperfections – the raw, unedited moments – that hit hardest. Karen Salicath Jamali understands this, and her music reflects it.

So, put down your phone now. Turn off your notifications, and listen. Really listen. Because Dreams of Angels is a profound experience. It’s an invitation to connect with something greater. And – to be honest – isn’t that what music is supposed to do?
