Carly Simon is making a triumphant return to the music scene. The legendary singer-songwriter has officially announced Comes In Waves, marking her first new studio album of original songs since 2008’s This Kind Of Love. To celebrate the announcement, she has shared the lead single, “Howl,” which is available for streaming now.
“‘Howl’ lives in that space between betrayal and forgiveness, where anger has to be voiced before it can be released,” Simon explains of the track’s emotional core. “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.”
Comes In Waves was primarily written and recorded at Simon’s studio in Martha’s Vineyard. The project features a deeply personal roster of contributors, including her children, Ben and Sally Taylor, as well as longtime collaborators Paul Samwell-Smith and Frank Filipetti. Notably, the album also includes one of the final recorded appearances from John Forté, who passed away earlier this year. “Howl,” which was co-written and produced with David Spencer, serves as a powerful introduction to this new chapter.
