About this album

Voice Of The Heart is a poignant late-era Carpenters album, pairing Karen Carpenter’s final recordings with Richard Carpenter’s polished pop craftsmanship. Released in 1983, it drew on material recorded before Karen’s death and was assembled as a moving return to the duo’s signature blend of melodic pop, gentle ballads and immaculate vocal harmonies. Songs such as ‘Now’ and ‘Make Believe It’s Your First Time’ underline the group’s gift for turning soft arrangements into emotionally direct performances. As one of the Carpenters’ most affecting releases, the album carries added weight as both a continuation of their sound and a farewell to Karen’s unmistakable voice.

Genre: Pop & Rock
