Voice of the Heart is the posthumous eleventh studio album by American pop duo Carpenters. It was released in 1983 after Karen's death and contains the two songs from her final recording sessions, "Now" and "You're Enough", as well as previously unreleased tracks from sessions of their previous albums A Kind of Hush and Made in America. At least one song, "Something in Your Eyes", was intended to be on this album, but Karen was unable to record her vocal before her death; it would be released in 1987 on Richard's solo album Time with Dusty Springfield on lead vocals.

For the Diana Ross song, see Take Me Higher.
