About this album

Touch The Sky shows Carole King moving into a more understated late-1970s sound, blending pop, folk and soft rock with her familiar gift for clear melody and plainspoken emotion. Released in 1979, the album sits alongside the broader singer-songwriter tradition King helped define, but with a quieter, more reflective tone than her early-1970s classics. Its songs balance introspection and warmth, with King's piano-led writing still at the centre even as the arrangements lean towards a gentler, lightly jazzed feel. For listeners tracing the evolution of one of pop's most influential songwriters, it is a revealing later chapter.
