Speeding Time

Carole King

A sharp pivot into 1980s new wave. Cold synthesizers and mechanical drum machines meet the classic songwriting of a 1970s icon.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring, futuristic synth stabs that open Computer Eyes, signaling a total break from the piano-bench past.
The layered, ethereal vocal harmonies on Alabaster Lady that stretch into a surprisingly long, atmospheric coda.
The rhythmic interplay between the mechanical drum machine and King's still-soulful vocal delivery on the title track.
