I love the fact that this song opens with Karen's atmospheric vocals with the instruments. Then Karen's gorgeous alto enters the song...It's such a seductive sounding song. If you listen carefully, you will hear the layers of Karen's harmony vocals with the lead, in certain instances and it's neat to hear. It's also a catchy song to sing along too. Although at the ending you can hear Karen moaning or groaning...or sighing. But very cute!! A very "adult" song for then...well for their image I should say.

This is another one of my favorite songs. Karen sings with a bit more forwardness than on other songs. The somewhat disco - rock rhythm is very catchy. I love every one of her solo songs. Her solo album was an excellent venture. I want more from her solo...

 Karen does a great job on this song. I was blown away by it when I first heard it in 1990 when "Lovelines" was released and even more enchanted with it in 1996 when "Karen Carpenter" was released. Although it's not one of my ultimate favorites from the solo album I still love it. She does take the song with a slightly more aggressive attitude than what were used to hearing from our songbird. But that just makes her all the more interesting.

How funny! I was listening to "Lovelines" in the car today (traffic was horrible) and kept repeating "Remember when lovin' took all night." I like Karen's voice on this tune, though not totally crazy about the ending of the song. Karen is a little more aggressive on the lyric and I think that is so sexy. For example.. "Let's take all night again tonight..." right before the music solo.
I don't care for the "jarring" sound at the end of the song. It sounds like someone is getting punched out! It takes away from the song, for me anyway. Karen did a great job vocally, though.

I love all Karens solo songs they really are a breath of fresh air and this song is no exception. It was due time for Karen to tackle more mature material and show people a different side to her. This may have taken geting used to for Carpenter fans but is a real treat for Karens fans. This song is one of the best examples of this new mature territory that Karen was tackling... I love it! Of course the vocals are first rate they are Karens after all,  |
