Mopping Up Karma  BUY CD: amazon.com | iTunes

The seeds of Mopping Up Karma  grew from a set of recordings Owen created in 1998 for an album she was making with Glen Ballard. His discovery of Owen performing in the Hollywood club, Luna Park, led to her signing with his Capitol imprint label, Java Records. Sadly, the CD was never released due to the unfortunate demise of this label in 2000. Despite the set back, Owen fought for and regained ownership of the masters. Eight years and six CD’s later, she listened to the songs with a seasoned ear at the behest of fan emails. She was struck by how relevant and moving they continued to be. She then spent two months stripping the songs of their “major label clutter,” even directing the ‘tongue-in-cheek’ photo shoot and CD cover art. As the title indicates, Mopping Up Karma is a revisit and cleansing of the past.

Happy This Way  BUY CD: amazon.com | UK Import

A layered homage to Owen’s native Britain, Happy This Way culminates a longstanding preoccupation with her homeland and the ways it has contributed to her current worldview, which includes “ a really profound sense of the present, of grasping what is wonderful." The new recording ranges in mood and style from the fun British Invasion pop-rock of “Painting by Numbers” to the wistful chamber-pop of the strings-laden “Conway Bay, & features guest performances by 3 fellow countrymen and constant collaboraters: Richard Thompson, Julia Fordham & Ian Shaw. The Los Angeles Times described Happy This Way as “whip smart, soulfully cool and deeply introspective”; USA Today has called the album “a gem” and The Washington Post referred to it as “the latest reminder of Owen’s rare talent for effortlessly crossing genres” adding, “her alluring vocals are a gift that keeps on giving.”
