Karla records new solo album about Grief
We are excited to announce that Karla is set to record a new solo album in mid Feb! The album is written entirely on the subject of the grief associated with losing a loved one.
Last year on Jan 28, Karla was present at the passing of a close friend’s daughter. It was a profound and moving experience which inspired ideas and thoughts about writing and recording an album to assist with the journey of grief. Karla’s experience with grief has been limited, so she began to ask audience members and her online community for stories, poetry, songs etc about grief or losing a loved one. The response has been beautiful and overwhelming, and now a small collection of works is emerging and it is time to take a snapshot and record an album.
Karla will be working with acclaimed sound engineer/producer David Wilton (Josh Garrels, Aaron Strumpel, Autumn Film and EWC) and songwriter/producer Latifah Phillips (Page CXVI and Autumn Film) at St. Ida’s Studio in Lafayette, CO this Feb! These two artists will bring exceptional talent and instincts to the project. Our hope is to create a recording that, as a whole, takes the individual on a journey through some of the emotions and ideas behind grief.
One exciting note about this project is that we will be giving away free digital downloads! We want the album to be a gift to those in the midst of grief and hope to see it land in the hands of listeners both new and old.
Here is a sneak peak at one of the songs that will be on the album, it is called Room For Me. This version was recorded a while ago and will be re recorded for the new album.
