Karen Atkins “She Rises”

“She Rises” is a gentle explosion of love—and yes, such a thing exists, because Atkins knows exactly how to express it. After losing her dear friend Theresa in 2019, a source of light, companionship, and comfort, Atkins began searching for signs that their bond of affection hadn’t been broken. Miraculously, a series of events too perfectly aligned to be mere coincidences signaled that Theresa was still with her, always. In a sudden burst of raw energy, “She Rises” flowed through Atkins effortlessly. Long known for her radiant optimism, Atkins has a gift for crafting grooves that part the clouds and let in the sunshine. But “She Rises” carries an even deeper intimacy. Her melodical strums and soft-spoken words instantly soothe the soul, offering an unexpectedly positive perspective on loss. This story doesn’t just live close to her heart—it comes from within it, fearlessly sharing the magic of her enduring connection with a world that’s continuously learning to see love, life, and death in new ways.

Whoever said “beauty lies in the eye of the beholder” has clearly never visited the Sacred Valley of Perú. Its beauty is so profound, it feels almost unreal—like stepping into a dream or onto a different planet. There is no more fitting backdrop in the universe for the “She Rises” music video; it’s as if Atkins is moving through the very world humanity craves. As she wanders through high-altitude, neon-green rolling fields, sheer cliff faces, ancient ruins, cobblestoned villages, and more, Atkins is beaming, mirroring the breathtaking scenery surrounding her. This is peace in its purest form—a serene exploration of Earth’s natural wonders, completely aligned with her brand and her way of life. Each shot feels light, intentional, and as comforting as a hand on the shoulder, much like the life she leads. Even a vivid rainbow peeks out from behind a towering peak, as if to say, “I’m here, you’re not alone.”
