inspiration from the likes of Adele and Whitney Houston. 
"Oceans Apart" explores the poignant experience of being in a relationship where partners gradually drift away from each other. This song delves into the subtle yet profound realization that you have fallen out of love with someone, despite your best efforts to rekindle the connection. It poignantly illustrates that sometimes, the kindest course of action can appear harsh, as letting go may ultimately be the most compassionate choice for both parties involved. I drew inspiration for this song from a personal relationship. During that period, I was heavily engaged with my work commitments, which significantly limited the time I could spend with my partner. The scant moments of free time I had, I often felt the need for solitude, which exacerbated the emotional distance between us. This dynamic left me feeling as though we were metaphorically 'Oceans Apart.'

Oceans Apart - Ariadne

I must’ve gone insane
That’s the only way I’m even handling
All this pain
You played me to the left 
If that’s the move you wanna make I’ll play along
If that’s what’s best
(But know this)

I gave you all I owned
And turned it to a home
I held you down the most
When all your friends went ghost

And what do I get for it?
(Huh)
What can I show for it?
(Oh!)

I want my time back
It’s the only thing I ever gave your ass
That I can’t get back
Too late to retract
Took your mask off and you showed me who you are
And that’s a fact

You play a nasty game
Don’t hide your hand I know your tricks 
It’s time to call a spade a spade
And you know you’re due a fade
But the universe has got some things in store for you
That you can’t evade
(Can’t evade)
(I know that)

Been there for every fall
Now we don’t speak at all
I was your right hand man
Now there’s a change in plans

And this is the thanks I get?
(Wow)
This is the thanks I get..
(Oh!)

I want my time back
It’s the only thing I ever gave your ass
That I can’t get back
Too late to retract 
Took your mask off and you showed me who you are
And that’s a fact
I want my time back
It’s the only thing I ever gave your ass
That I can’t get back
Too late to retract 
Took your mask off and you showed me who you are
And that’s a fact

I want my time back
I want my time back
I want my time back
And that’s a fact
I want my time back
I want my time back
I want my time back
And that’s a fact
I want my time back
I want my time back
I want my time back
And that’s a fact
I want my time back
I want my time back
I want my time back
And that’s a fact

Swing That Jazz (Luxury Jazz Vocal Afterworks Experience)

While Karen Souza´s voice may sound like it was made for jazz, she is in fact a relative newcomer to this genre of music. Her career began under various psydeonymns as she provided vocal support to a number of electronic music producers and was part of several International House hits. She can be found singing under these pseudonymns on albums such as Pacha Ibiza, FTV (FashionTV), Paris Dernier and Hotel Costes, privé. 

She had just begun to flirt with the idea of singing to jazz when she was contacted and invited to join the production of the first volume of the series, Jazz and ´80s. No one imagined the success that the series would have almost over night.  The producer of the series knew a good thing when he saw it and he quickly shared his enthusiasm in the project with Karen and made her and her voice an important part of each album. 

Now that Karen had gotten her toes wet in the studio, her label decided it was time to dive in and they sent her and the rest of the Quartet on tour to Brazil in late 2009. The visit was a great success and Karen came into her own onstage, gaining confidence and ever tuning and refining her singing. On the heels of the Brazilian adventure, the label again stepped in and told Karen it was time to focus on her own material. 

To this effect they sent her to Los Angeles for a few months to work with and learn from some of the best songwriters in the business. It was there that she studied under the guidance of Pam Oland , a multiple Grammy nominated songwriter who has worked with stars like Whitney Houston, Earth, Wind and Fire and Aretha Franklin, to name a few. This period gave new direction to Karens own composing and songwriting and has helped her develop her signature sound while continuing to please fans with her characteristic lush vocals. 

After her stint in LA, Karen began to dedicate herself exclusively to rehearsing both new and older material with the rest of the quartet and they have achieved a symbiosis that is a pleasure to watch. The Cooltrane Quartet with Karen in the lead is an act not to be missed, full of excellent jazz versions and brand new soloist material from a truly dynamic young artist.
