Free Music Review: stars that still twinkle and shine--BRAVO, KAREN AND RICHARD CARPENTER !!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Love Songs by Karen and Richard Carpenter is an amazing CD collection of many of their greatest love songs and ballads. The quality of the sound is excellent and the artwork is very nicely done. This is a wonderful CD for Carpenters fans; and people who appreciate classic love songs everywhere will want this CD.
"I Need To Be In Love" is a tender ballad that Karen Carpenter sings with great sensitivity; and this moves me very much. Richard plays this so well and "I Need To Be In Love" is an excellent start for this album. "Solitaire" shines just as brightly as Karen sings this to perfection--and beyond! Karen's voice is showcased on "Solitaire" and that impresses me greatly. I especially enjoy "We've Only Just Begun;" this touching optimistic love song sounds beautiful to me and I could never tire of hearing this Carpenters song! The chorus is very well done and this `70s love song stands the test of time effortlessly. "You're The One" is another major highlight of this album; Karen sings this in such a way that you believe she's truly singing just to you and the vulnerability in her voice enhances her performance, too.
"Superstar" is one of the most moving, heartbreaking torch songs I've heard--ever; and I highly recommend this ballad for torch song lovers out there. "Rainy Days And Mondays" is another sad song; but it's beautifully done that I will always enjoy this stunningly beautiful love song. Karen delivers this with all her heart and soul; and just one listen proves it! "Rainy Days And Mondays" is an awesome love song about a woman in pain after her lover has gone. "(They Long To Be) Close To You)" is a wonderful Burt Bacharach tune that is yet again timeless; the passion in this song resonates from Karen's voice and the exceptional musical accompaniment.
"For All We Know" is an optimistic love song even though it hints at the uncertainty and insecurities we all sooner or later feel when we're in love; and this number flows magnificently. "Only Yesterday" celebrates the joys of a new love blossoming; and this is anything but elevator music! "When I Fall In Love" gets the royal treatment from Karen and Richard Carpenter; they handle this cover song with grace and style. In addition, "Hurting Each Other" is a poignant song about the pain lovers can feel when they don't always get along; and listen for "I Won't Last A Day Without You." "I Won't Last A Day Without You" explores the need for companionship and soul mates that we all want from our one true love--and that's terrific! The CD ends well with Karen and Richard Carpenter performing "Goodbye To Love." "Goodbye To Love" is a sad but very beautiful song about a love that has faded.
Karen and Richard Carpenter turned out many superlative tunes in their day; and this CD of love songs easily contains many of their best efforts. We are all better off for their sharing their wonderful talents with us.
Thank you, Karen and Richard Carpenter!
Love Songs Poster
1997 release featuring 20 of their best loved ballads, including 13 of their 20 top 40 hits! Contains 'Solitaire', 'We've Only Just Begun', 'Superstar', 'Rainy Days And Mondays', 'Top Of The World', '(They Long To Be) Close To You', 'For All We Know', 'Only Yesterday', 'Hurting Each Other', 'Goodbye To Love' and much more! An A&M release.There was a time, before Karen Carpenter was born, when most American female popular singers, even the black ones, sounded a lot like the way she would one day sound. The music of singer-drummer Carpenter and her piano-playing brother Richard came to be called soft rock, but it's really just good, straight American pop. This CD, released in March 1998, is a collection of greatest hits, with a special emphasis on romance. Paul Williams, Burt Bacharach, Sam Lewis, and Victor Young provide lovely melodies, and Carpenter's expressive voice makes each song genuinely affecting. --Stanley Booth
