View From the House

Kim Carnes

A soulful pivot to Nashville roots. Carnes trades neon synths for acoustic warmth, letting her iconic gravelly voice anchor a collection of heartland stories.

Find on Amazon

It's the sound of a pop queen finding her soul in a Nashville studio with a glass of whiskey.

A warm, autumnal reflection on time passing and the quiet resilience of the heart.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The weary, lived-in rasp of the vocals on the John Prine cover Speed of the Sound of Loneliness.
The way the synthesizers subtly underpin the acoustic guitars in Brass & Batons, bridging her two eras.
The unexpected, playful shuffle of Willie and the Hand Jive breaking the album's introspective spell.
