Carpenters - Someday

Review by joe cgp

Someday by Carpenters is an album that showcases the duo's signature sound of soft, melodic pop. Released in 1983, the album features 12 tracks that range from romantic ballads to upbeat tunes, all delivered with Karen Carpenter's distinct vocals and Richard Carpenter's intricate arrangements.

The album's opening track, "Lovelines," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its gentle melody and Karen's soothing voice. "Where Do I Go from Here?" is a standout track, with its catchy chorus and Richard's skillful use of synthesizers. "I Just Fall in Love Again" is another highlight, a romantic ballad that showcases Karen's vocal range.

The album also features covers of classic songs such as "Make Believe It's Your First Time" and "Now," which are given the Carpenters' treatment with lush orchestration and Karen's emotive delivery. The album's title track, "Someday," is a poignant ballad that speaks of hope and perseverance, a fitting tribute to Karen's legacy.
