“Superstar” — Carpenters

I’m not usually keen on those “beyond the grave” collaborations, where some recordings by a deceased artist are paired with some performers who are still with us to “introduce the song to a new generation”…or “get some additional life out the record company’s back catalogue”, depending on your level of cynicism…

These collaborations can sometimes feel a bit creepy, to my ears, so I don’t go out my way to listen to them as a rule.

For that reason, I didn’t have terribly high expectations when I noticed a video of the Carpenters with the Royal Philharmonic…
