Carole King Releases First Studio Album Since '93
LOVE
MAKES THE WORLD
 |
Los Angeles, California--August 1, 2001
Pop icon, singer/songwriter Carole King, will release her 24th solo album,
LOVE MAKES THE WORLD, on September 25. King has decided to release the
CD, her first studio album in almost a decade, on her own label, Rockingale
Records, instead of several available major label options. "Making
the album on my own, without the pressure of having to answer to a big
record company, where decisions are made by committee, enabled me to make
the album I wanted to make," commented King.
LOVE MAKES THE WORLD, produced (primarily) by King and Humberto Gatica,
includes several good friends who came by the recording sessions over
the past year. The album features guest performances by Kenny Edmonds
(Babyface), on "You Can Do Anything," Celine Dion on "The
Reason," "Wynton Marsalis on "I Wasn't Going To Fall In
Love," and k.d. lang on "An Uncommon Love." The songs in
the inimitable King style were written in collaboration with writers as
diverse as PopRox, Babyface, Mark Hudson, Gary Burr and Carole Bayer Sager.
The album will be available at all traditional outlets as well as online.
King will launch her own website, CaroleKing.com, in conjunction with the release of LOVE MAKES THE WORLD, developed personally by King for her fans. The site will feature links to video interviews, extensive liner notes in installments for her new album, as well as news, personal notes and thoughts from King herself on everything from family to the environment. Planned for future release on the website is a comprehensive Timeline of her four-decade career, as well as a detailed Discography page representing her career as both an artist and songwriter.
