Singer-songwriter and ‘voice in a billion devices’, Karen Jacobsen, released her latest album last week and the local creative is using her international platform to promote the Whitsundays.
Filmed here in the region and with lyrics inspired by local life, her new single which is the title-track to her new album ‘The Slipstream’ is an inspiring, uplifting song which Karen says is the “musical hug that the world needs right now”.
Originally from Mackay, Karen moved to New York City as a young-adult and has since become an award-winning Singer and Songwriter.
In 2020, with the onset of COVID, Karen and her husband moved back to the Whitsundays with their son while the pandemic ‘blew over’ but loved the region so much they decided to stay.
Since then, Karen, who is the Australian Siri, has become the official Whitsundays Destination Ambassador, using her voice to promote the region in a series of wildly successful campaigns.
The new single and music video, which was released on June 4, was filmed in Proserpine, Airlie Beach and Cape Hillsborough.
Karen used an entirely local creative team to shoot the music video which was then edited by three-time Emmy Award winning editor Chris Orwat of Pure Cinematography and produced by Matt Anthony in New York.
A motivational public speaker and author, Karen says moving to the Whitsundays has been a miracle for her family.
“The beauty of nature is healing, and we feel very fortunate to have been able to choose this option at a time that has been devastating for many,” she said.
