I found the lyrics hackneyed and the melodies boring and evanescant. Don't recommend at all.Gave me the cramps
It it a coincidence that i got serious stomach cramps after listening to this CD. I got the sickies real bad.SOME OF CAROLE KING'S MOST PROLIFIC MATERIAL
Carole King has had long absences in the past from recording. Rarely though does any artist hope to make a return to the music scene after an 8-year hiatus with a compilation of recordings as strong and prolific as the material found on "Love Makes The World."With this album King perfectly and eloquently blends elements of hip-hop, rock, pop and classical with lyrics exploring issues of romantic love, friendship and self-confidence while never veering too far from her intimate, definitive style. Her piano playing as always is confident and beautiful and her vocals and background vocals have never sounded better. King has a unique and subtle way of lifting the human spirit and turning one towards a positive viewpoint without ever sounding overly manipulative.
Favorite moments? "You Can Do Anything" is certainly one of her most joyous, positive and melodic recording efforts. Likewise, the darker, more-somber opening chords of "The Reason" transform themselves during the song's chorus into notes of confident victory. I agree with other listeners who have commented on the poignancy and timeliness of the touching "Safe Again" in light of 9/11. And the beautifully melodic closing track "This Time" with its complex background vocal arrangement, comes as close to a pop masterpiece as any I have heard in recent years.
Weaker moments? It is safe to say there are no major ones. The melody of "You Will Find Me There" is perhaps not King's most inventive or exciting...and to some the song may be uncomfortably reminiscent of "You've Got A Friend"....still it is a fine track. Also, I am unsure why King chose to re-record "Oh No, Not My Baby" when she previously released a very similar version of the song on her Goffin/King album "Pearls" (and there are countless other Goffin/King songs to choose from which she has not yet recorded.) Oh well...
"Love Makes The World" without a doubt is one of the strongest recordings of Carole King's career, easily rivaling any material she has ever produced. Hopefully critics will hesitate before dismissing this album with their old, hackneyed phrase "...well, it isn't Tapestry!" ...and give this work the careful thought and consideration it deserves.
One last note: if you are purchasing this album, try to find the version of "Love Makes the World" with the bonus track "Birthday Song". A beautiful conclusion to a very strong pop album.
