About this album

Speeding Time shows Carole King adapting her classic songwriting voice to the early-1980s pop-rock and synth-pop landscape without losing its emotional directness. Issued in 1983, the album pairs King’s melodic clarity and conversational delivery with brighter electronic colours and polished arrangements, giving the record a contemporary feel while keeping the focus on strong, reflective writing. It is an underrated entry in her catalogue, notable for balancing intimate balladry with sharper, more modern production touches. For listeners who know King through her 1970s classics, Speeding Time offers a later-period snapshot of an artist still finding fresh ways to write plainly, memorably and with feeling.
