Bio: Toronto singer-pianist Karen Kosowski's new album, Meeting The Future At Full Speed, is a bold, sweeping, sophisticated pop recording that comes from a better place than her previous release, the critically acclaimed Out Here At Sea.

Meeting the Future at Full Speed is a reminder that time is ticking and one must jump in feet first, do it all, don't hesitate, but take time for yourself and the people you love. Self-produced at her home studio and at Canterbury Music, the 10 songs range from the dreamy "Stars in our Eyes" to the percussive "Land on your Feet" and the empowering title track.

While she wrote most of the songs herself, "Can't Fall Anymore" is a co-write with her husband, Marc Rogers of the award-winning soul-pop group The Philosopher Kings, who also plays bass and does programming on the album. His band mates, drummer Denton Whited and guitarist James Bryan, also lend their talents. Karen plays everything else, keyboards, programming, tambourine and some acoustic guitar.
