The Music 'Comes in Waves' for Carly Simon - The Martha's Vineyard Times

The album, co-written with David Spencer, includes one of John Forté’s last recorded appearances and guest spots from her children and longtime collaborators.

  • Singer-Songwriter Carly Simon announced her upcoming album, "Comes in Waves," arriving Aug 14, marking her first collection of original material since 2008.
  • Simon has remained relatively quiet since her last original studio album, 2008's "This Kind of Love," later releasing "Never Been Gone" featuring acoustic versions of previous work.
  • Co-Written with songwriter David Spencer, the opening track "Howl" is available now; Simon described it as living "in that space between betrayal and forgiveness" where anger must be voiced.
  • Recorded at her home in Martha's Vineyard, the album features guests including her children Ben Taylor and Sally Taylor, whose father is James Taylor, plus collaborators Paul Samwell-Smith and Frank Filipetti.
  • Digital outlets now offer "Howl" as "Comes in Waves" opens for preorder, signaling Simon's return to original studio music after nearly two decades.
