Title: A different listening experience.
Review: Anyone who truly loves the Carpenters will notice right away that this is a different sound. It is the record of Karen's journey into a new kind of singing and a new kind of song. I did think that many of the selections sounded alike, and in that I was disappointed. But I am never disappointed in Karen's singing, and regardless of the selection, she sounds great. I have to admit that I miss some of the recording sounds that have come to be characteristic of the Carpenters together. But I am never unhappy at another opportunity to hear Karen, her magnificent voice, her wonderful control musically, the rich timbre of her voice, her ability to phrase the words so that they make sense to the listener. This is a new listening experience for the Karen Carpenter fan, but it is worth the time.
