Tracks: Divided Hearts I'd Lie To You For Your Love Black And White Piece Of The Sky You Say You Love Me (But I Know You Don't) Dancing At The Lighthouse Love Me Like You Never Did Before Along With The Radio Only Lonely Love That's Where The Trouble Lies About The Record: Light House, by Kim Carnes, reunited Carnes with Val Garay, who produced her albums Mistaken Identity and Voyeur in the early 80s. The album spawned one hit single, Divided Hearts, featuring Phillip Ingram on backing vocals, which peaked at No. 79 on Billboard Magazine's Hot 100. The follow-up I'd Lie to You for Your Love (And That's the Truth) failed to chart. Light House came to be Carnes' last album with EMI America. In a review of the lead single, Cashbox described Divided Hearts as a "rollicking, bouncing pop tune that disguises the pain of the lyric." Billboard described Light House as Carnes' "most accessible" album since 1981, but opined that there was "no follow-up" to rival Bette Davis Eyes. In a separate review, Billboard called I'd Lie to You for Your Love a "rock stomper with mega-mandolin accompaniment and country-folk harmonies." In a retrospective review of Carnes' career for PopMatters, Christian John Wikane described Black and White as "a stunning showcase for Jerry Peterson, whose saxophone solo sparkled like a shooting star sailing through the night sky." Divided Hearts entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 93 on May 24, 1986. The single spent five consecutive weeks on the chart, peaking at No. 79. I'd Lie to You for Your Love was released as the second and final single in July 1986.
