Carly Simon
This Kind of Love (Hear)
Her voice is huskier, veined with the fine lines of age, but that only enhances the sultry sound of the Vineyard’s favorite songbird, the still-too-sexy-for-her-shirt Carly Simon. The original songs on “This Kind of Love” are a mishmash of styles: poppy, jazzy, or seasoned with a dash of Brazilian Tropicana. Thirty-six years after her breakthrough “No Secrets,” Simon is still exploring the vicissitudes of togetherness.
