Speeding Time is an album by American singer-songwriter Carole King, released in 1983. King's 13th album in fourteen years, Speeding Time featured a prominent new wave sound that was negatively reviewed by critics used to King's more traditional pop stylings. The album became her first record not to chart at all; King did not record again for six years.
King cowrote four of the album's songs with her former husband and longtime collaborator Gerry Goffin. [4] The album's sound was inspired by King's admiration for Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me with Science". [5]
