After losing her dear friend Theresa, back in 2019, who had to her been a source of light, companionship, and comfort, Karen started looking for signs that their bond remained unbroken. Soon after, a series of events that seemed too closely aligned to be just coincidence, gave her the proof she needed that Theresa was still with her, and would always be. From this, ‘She Rises’ came to Atkins, in an effortless burst of raw energy. The track is filled with radiant optimism, and a deep intimacy. With acoustic guitar strumming and soft spoken singing, vocalising, and spoken word, the track is instantly soothing to the very soul of the listener, giving a uniquely positive perspective on loss.
The music video for ‘She Rises’ is equally inspiring. Shot in the Sacred Valley of Perú, it feels like you’re stepping into another world, as Karen wanders through the neon green fields, exploring the ancient ruins and cobbled streets, surrounded by sheer cliff faces. Each shot feels intentional, and comforts the viewer just as much as the song itself, ensuring us that we are never alone.
