Karen Carpenter's voice, that impossibly warm contralto, is the whole world here, draped in Richard's lush, immaculate arrangements. 'Close to You' floats on a cloud of brass and longing, 'We've Only Just Begun' aches with tender devotion, and 'Rainy Days and Mondays' wraps melancholy in velvet. Soft-rock perfection that hides deep heartbreak under the sheen. Gorgeous, aching, and quietly devastating.
