Album Notes & Community Reviews

Rushed into production following the success of her debut, 'Anticipation' captures Carly Simon's rapid ascent as a leading voice of the seventies singer-songwriter movement[cite: 1]. Produced by Paul Samwell-Smith, the project frames her confessional, romantic lyrics with gentle acoustic guitars and understated orchestration[cite: 1]. The massive success of the title track cemented her status as a pop-folk superstar[cite: 1].
