Album Notes & Community Reviews

Departing from her signature singer-songwriter pop, Carly Simon presents a lush, highly orchestrated collection of melancholy jazz standards and classic torch songs. The album highlights her exceptionally warm, resonant vocal delivery, perfectly suited for the deeply romantic and introspective material.
