Carly Simon's New Album Doesn't Just "Come in Waves," It Hits Full Force with a Phenomenal Collection of New Songs - Her First in 18 Years

★ After 18 years, Carly Simon’s new album arrives, marking her first release in a long time. Simon, a legendary figure of the 70s and 80s, wrote, sang, and produced her own hits, which topped the charts. Known for her trio with Joni Mitchell and Carole King, she also had a highly publicized love life and married famous singer James Taylor. She first released ‘Howl’ (originally titled ‘Call Love a Liar’) five years ago, a song that instantly became a hit. Simon’s journey included overcoming massive loss and personal illness before returning to music at age 83. The album features standout tracks like ‘Peaches,’ a catchy Latin-infused song that won’t leave your mind, and ‘Maybe I Never Loved You,’ a personal anthem that rivals Taylor Swift’s most controversial songs. Other highlights include ‘Do It Anyway,’ a revived demo, and ‘Slowly,’ a slow gospel number. The album also includes ‘The Father Daughter Dance,’ written by Carly Simon and playwright Ernest Thompson, adding a poignant layer to Thompson’s work. Simon’s remaster of ‘Share the End’ from her 1971 album ‘Anticipation’ showcases her political prescience, referencing past political figures. With a career spanning five decades, this album is a celebration of her enduring talent and a perfect gift for summer.
