Our Take

Carole King, the reigning queen of 70s singer-songwriters, has done it again with her latest release, "The Real". This album is a delightful mix of heart-wrenching ballads and toe-tapping tunes that will have you bopping along in no time.

From the opening track, "Love Will Keep Us Together", King's signature silky vocals take centre stage, backed by lush instrumentation that perfectly complements her soulful lyrics. It's like being wrapped in a warm blanket on a cold winter night, with King's voice melting all your worries away.

But don't be fooled by the smooth exterior of this album - there's plenty of depth hidden beneath the surface. Tracks like "Broken Dreams" and "Lost Without You" showcase King's storytelling prowess, painting vivid pictures of heartbreak and longing that will resonate with listeners of all ages.

Overall, "The Real" is a triumph for Carole King, proving once again why she's one of the most influential artists of her generation. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to her music, this album is guaranteed to make you a believer in the power of a good old-fashioned singer-songwriter. So grab a cup of tea, get comfy on the couch, and let Carole King serenade you into blissful musical oblivion.

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.
