A monumental 80s work that presented the perfect form of synthesizer pop
Kim Carnes has achieved the ideal fusion of electronic music and rock.
This album, which gained attention following the worldwide success of "Bette Davis Eyes," features songs that make effective use of synthesizers throughout.
