Carly Simon has announced that Comes In Waves, her first album of original songs since 2008, will be released on August 14.
Listen to the lead single “Howl” below.
“‘Howl’ lives in that space between betrayal and forgiveness, where anger has to be voiced before it can be released,” says Simon. “It’s about letting the frustration out so it doesn’t sit and simmer. The song begins in anger, but it moves toward forgiveness, and speaks to any situation where trust has been broken.”
Simon’s son Ben Taylor appears on the album as a singer, musician, producer, and songwriter, while her daughter Sally Taylor contributes vocals and created the cover artwork for the single.
Producer (and former Yardbird) Paul Samwell-Smith returned to revisit and rework “Share The End,” a song he originally produced for Simon’s 1971 album Anticipation, and continued to help oversee the entire project. Producer and engineer Frank Filipetti, one of Simon’s most trusted longtime collaborators, played a central role in shaping its direction and bringing the music to life. The album also features contributions from musician and producer John Forté, who passed away earlier this year.
