Speeding Time
Speeding Time is an album by American singer-songwriter Carole King, released in 1983. King's 13th album in fourteen years, Speeding Time featured a prominent new wave sound that was negatively reviewed by critics used to King's more traditional pop stylings. The album became her first record not to chart at all; King did not record again for six years.
Production
King cowrote four of the album's songs with her former husband and longtime collaborator Gerry Goffin. The album's sound was inspired by King's admiration for Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me with Science".Track listing
