Lady of the Forest is Karen's debut solo album. Some songs were written years ago, "like seeds waiting underground to sprout", as she puts it. The instrumental piece, for instance, was written when Karen was 18: "During home sessions with Guy Shoham, my good friend and flat mate, and who also plays on the recording, this tune suddenly came up, and it now carries a whole new meaning. To me it symbolizes a kind of rebirth, and this album would not have been whole without it".
"Come with Me", another track that came relatively late in the process, is based on a prayer, around forty pages long, written by Meir Yanay: "I copied the first few stanzas on a piece of paper", explains Karen, "and kept that paper in my purse for years like some sort of amulet. On the second day of rehearsing with the band, I went home feeling rather elated, and found that piece of paper, which had been lying around the piano for several days, waiting. That night I wrote music to it, as if it had been there for ages".
Avishai's "Looking for You" was another track that sneaked into the album somewhat unexpectedly; "Shortly after Avishai and I started singing together, he was asked to write a song for an Israeli singer. During one of our meetings, he played me this song and asked me to sing it, to hear how it sounded with a female singer. I immediately fell in love with it. Avishai decided I should have it, and so it came to be included in this album".
