- On Friday, Carly Simon released 'Comes in Waves,' her first album of original material in 18 years. The 12-track collection arrives six decades after the legendary singer-songwriter's solo debut.
- Simon recorded the album while managing a Parkinson's disease diagnosis and treatment for basal cell carcinoma. She stated the project 'gave shape to days that did not always have much shape' during this difficult period.
- Recorded primarily at her Martha's Vineyard home, the album features contributions from son Ben Taylor and daughter Sally Taylor. It includes posthumous music from late collaborator John Forté, whose final release appears on the project.
