About this album
Mistaken Identity is the album that transformed Kim Carnes from respected singer-songwriter into an international pop-rock star. Issued in 1981, it is anchored by the No. 1 single “Bette Davis Eyes”, a Grammy-winning hit that dominated radio and became one of the defining songs of the early MTV era. The album pairs Carnes’ husky, characterful voice with taut, new-wave-influenced production and tightly written material, giving the set a cool, modern edge without losing its melodic punch. Its success made Mistaken Identity the commercial peak of Carnes’ career and a durable touchstone of early-1980s pop-rock.
