Barking at Airplanes

Kim Carnes

Gritty, sandpaper vocals meet high-gloss 1985 synthesizers. A cinematic collection of mid-tempo pop that feels like a neon-lit noir film in the rain.

It's like a neon-lit private eye movie where the detective is a world-weary pop star.

A sophisticated, late-night restlessness that balances high-tech polish with raw emotional grit.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The robotic, hypnotic repetition of the title phrase in I Am a Camera creating a sense of detached observation.
The gritty, defiant vocal delivery on Forever where the rasp breaks into a vulnerable plea for permanence.
The sudden shift from cold synth textures to the raw, solo emotionality of Make No Mistake, He's Mine.
