Karen is joined on the album by cellist Emil Miland ("Abbie Marie," "It's About Love," "Deschutes River Sunrise"), noted oboist Nancy Rumbel ("Deschutes River Sunrise") and vocalist Desiree Goyette ("Mother's Prayer").
As on her first two releases, what strike the listener immediately is the warmth and intimacy of Garrett's compositions and the grace and nuance with which she plays each one. Gentle meditations on love in various forms, not always happy, these five songs aptly demonstrate that even after a prolonged absence, the immensely talented pianist hasn't lost a step. Even though just an EP, It's About Love proves that age old adage, quality, not quantity, still holds true. Bill Binkelman/Zone Music Reporter
"Special thanks to Herb Mahelona for his help with the cello and oboe arrangements in "It’s About Love" and "Deschutes River Sunrise."

"It's About the Rose" is the very impressive follow-up to "Allure of Sanctuary", and sees Karen Marie Garrett at her creative and original best. A year in the making, "It's About the Rose" features all-original recordings, and reunites Karen with the legendary Grammy-Award winner Will Ackerman as her producer." Stephen Cairns, Piano-Heaven
From the artist: "…with this album I wanted to connect with listeners at various emotional levels and explore that musically without consideration of genre. For me, it's about the music we love and not about fitting into any one drawer."
Karen is joined on the album by cellist Eugene Friesen ("Tally’s Lullaby"), Derrik Jordan – djembe/violin ("Moon Night") and djembe/percussion ("Café Espresso", "Finale of the Rose",) vocalist Noah Wilding ("Vinot and the Seabird", "Finale of the Rose"), violinist Steve Schuch ("Tie Toe Dancer and the Sea Pearl", "Finale of the Rose"), flugal horn player Jeff Oster ("Vinot and the Seabird", "Finale of the Rose") and noted bassist T-Bone Wolk ("Tip Toe Dancer and the Sea Pearl" and "Café Espresso".
