Review

Let me tell you, Kim Carnes really knocked it out of the park with "Mistaken Identity"! This album is an absolute game-changer that totally defines the sound of the early 80s. Val Garay's production is so slick, it practically glistens - you can almost feel the LA sunshine coming through your speakers.

The star of the show here is definitely "Bette Davis Eyes". That song is an absolute monster hit that dominated the charts for weeks. But don't sleep on tracks like "Draw of the Cards" and "Hit and Run" - they showcase Kim's incredible vocal range and emotional depth. The whole album is dripping with atmosphere, thanks to that perfect mix of keyboards, guitars, and saxophones.

What really sets "Mistaken Identity" apart is how it balances energetic rock vibes with more introspective moments. It's no wonder this bad boy spent a month at the top of the Billboard 200 and snagged a Grammy nom for Album of the Year. Kim Carnes really proved she was a force to be reckoned with, and this album is the perfect showcase for her talents. If you're into 80s music at all, you absolutely need to give this one a spin! - Courtney
