Carole King • Tapestry

 

 

Review by Jason Ankeny

Carole King brought the fledgling singer/songwriter phenomenon to the masses with Tapestry, one of the most successful albums in pop music history. A remarkably expressive and intimate record, it's a work of consummate craftsmanship. Always a superior pop composer, King reaches even greater heights as a performer; new songs like the hits "It's Too Late" and "I Feel the Earth Move" rank solidly with past glories, while songs like "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow," and "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" take on added resonance when delivered in her own warm, compelling voice. With its reliance on pianos and gentle drumming, Tapestry is a light and airy work on its surface, occasionally skirting the boundaries of jazz, but it's also an intensely emotional record, the songs confessional and direct; in its time it connected with listeners like few records before it, and it remains an illuminating experience decades later.

Reseña de Jason Ankeny

Carole King trajo a las masas el fenómeno del cantautor novato con Tapestry, uno de los álbumes más exitosos de la historia de la música pop. Un disco notablemente expresivo e íntimo, es una obra de artesanía consumada. Siempre un compositor pop superior, King alcanza cotas aún mayores como intérprete; nuevas canciones como los éxitos "It's Too Late" y "I Feel the Earth Move" se sitúan sólidamente entre las glorias del pasado, mientras que canciones como "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" y "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" adquieren una resonancia añadida cuando se interpretan con su propia voz cálida y convincente. Con su dependencia de los pianos y la batería suave, Tapestry es un trabajo ligero y aireado en su superficie, que a veces elude los límites del jazz, pero también es un disco intensamente emotivo, las canciones confesionales y directas; en su momento se conectó con los oyentes como pocos discos antes, y sigue siendo una experiencia iluminadora décadas después.
