Our Take

Carole King's Early Years is a delightful stroll down memory lane, like reminiscing with an old friend over a cup of tea and a biscuit. Before she became the household name we all know and love, King was honing her craft as a talented songwriter and performer in the bustling music scene of the 1960s.

This album is a raw and unfiltered look at King's early work, showcasing her knack for crafting catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics that tug at the heartstrings. From the infectious piano riffs of "Oh Neil" to the soulful balladry of "Goin' Back," King's talent shines through on every track.

What sets King apart from her peers is her ability to blend pop sensibilities with a touch of folk and soul, creating a sound that is uniquely her own. Her voice is warm and inviting, drawing listeners in with its honesty and vulnerability.

While some may dismiss King's early work as mere nostalgia, there is a timeless quality to her music that resonates with audiences of all ages. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, Carole King's Early Years is a must-have addition to your music collection.

So grab a copy of this album, pour yourself a cuppa, and let Carole King serenade you with her soulful melodies and heartfelt lyrics. You won't be disappointed. Cheers to the early years!

About the artist

Carole King

Carole King, the reigning queen of 70s pop-folk, has a story as classic as the tunes she penned. Hailing from the bustling boroughs of Brooklyn, she cut her teeth in the music biz as a teenage prodigy, churning out hits for the likes of The Shirelles and The Drifters. But it wasn't until her solo debut, "Tapestry," that she truly found her voice - and what a voice it was. With her honeyed vocals and heart-on-sleeve songwriting, King blazed a trail through the FM airwaves, capturing the hearts of a generation with anthems like "It's Too Late" and "You've Got a Friend." And let's not forget her iconic piano playing - a virtuoso mix of jazz, blues, and good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll. But it's not just King's music that's left a lasting impact. Her pioneering spirit and unwavering dedication to her craft have inspired countless artists to follow in her footsteps. From Taylor Swift to Adele, her influence can be heard in the voices of today's top hitmakers. So, if you're looking for a timeless sound that's equal parts soulful and sophisticated, look no further than Carole King. With a career spanning six decades and counting, she's more than just a singer-songwriter - she's a musical force to be reckoned with. Long live the queen.
