“Unreleased Karen Carpenter Vocals to Feature in Upcoming Carpenters Album – A Dream Come True for Fans”
In a monumental announcement that has thrilled music lovers worldwide, Richard Carpenter has confirmed the revival of a long
-awaited project: a brand-new Carpenters album featuring never-before-heard vocals by his late sister, Karen Carpenter. The album, tentatively titled Echoes of Yesterday, will blend Karen’s original studio and demo recordings with newly orchestrated arrangements performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
The news comes after years of speculation and halted projects, and fans are now finally getting the moment they’ve hoped for. Richard shared that the recordings span from 1976 to 1982, a period during which Karen’s voice reached an extraordinary emotional depth and clarity. “Hearing Karen sing again on songs the public has never experienced – it’s both bittersweet and beautiful,” he said in a recent interview.
The album will include a mix of unreleased originals, reimagined versions of classics, and even one or two covers Karen had recorded as personal demos but never released. Among the rumored titles is “You Were There,” a ballad believed to have been written during one of Karen’s solo sessions.
A deluxe vinyl edition is also planned, including handwritten lyric sheets, rare photos, and personal notes from Richard. Fans who’ve remained loyal for decades are expressing deep excitement and gratitude online, many calling it “a spiritual experience in the making.”
Though no official release date has been given, sources close to the production say the album could drop by late 2025. For fans of the Carpenters, this announcement isn’t just a tribute to a musical legacy—it’s the rekindling of a voice that never stopped echoing through hearts around t
he world.
