Speeding Time

Speeding Time is an album by American singer-songwriter Carole King, released in 1983. King's 13th album in 14 years, Speeding Time was poorly reviewed and was her first album not to chart. Following the album's release, King did not record again for six years.

Production
King cowrote four of the album's songs with Gerry Goffin. The album's sound was inspired by King's admiration for Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me with Science".
