Charlatanne
(Released 2015)
“Eleven consistently superb songs which get better with every listen… ‘Charlatanne’ is an album that will be enjoyed by listeners for years to come.”
– HOT PRESS
“This album is a pleasure from beginning to end, with mature, heartfelt honesty about the vagaries of life and love written all over it.”
– GCN *****
Very Very
(Released 2006)
“Comedienne, singer, actress and song-writer; renaissance woman Karen Egan effortlessly sheds her Nualas persona with this superb debut…Here’s a debut that sends shivers down the nape of the neck, hinting that the past might not be another country – just one that ripples with subterranean mystique.”
– THE IRISH TIMES ****
“…the former Nuala comedienne mixes tragicomedy with the grace of a true diva on her debut album…the deference to the greats is understandable but it’s Egan’s own compositions that stand out. ‘Stolen Moments’ shows that, vocally, Egan is no joke.”
– SUNDAY TRIBUNE ****
“Egan’s voice oozes confidence, sassiness and playfulness whether she’s singing in English, French or German.”
– HOT PRESS EIGHT/TEN
“…the album’s real tour-de-force is the original songs, where Egan blends her trademark acerbic wit with the melodies and moods of a cabaret style.”
– IN DUBLIN
“Deeply affecting…it’s like being served a cup tears in fine china…Her live show might leave you rolling in the aisles but this album proves that there’s much, much more to Karen Egan than meets the eye.”
