Free Music Notes for This Kind of Love (Dig)
Free Music Review: Carly songs at last!
Hit: 5 Stars
Aside from her work on two Disney films, This Kind Of Love marks the first original songs from Carly in 8 long, long years. The world is always a better place with new Carly Simon songs to sing and listen to.
There's a whole lot of fun with the Brazilian grooves sprinkled throughout the album..but don't let those delicate, sexy rhythms lull you too much...Carly's lyrics are as poignant and thought provoking as ever. She delves in to some surprising, touching, and uncomfortable topics while her music soothes the soul as usual.
But Carly has always done that; mixing wonderful, catchy grooves with lyrics that make you think and feel and laugh and cry.
Standouts: So Many People To Love, In My Dreams, How Can You Forget, and a song for our beloved pets, THEY JUST WANT YOU TO BE THERE.
Free Music Review: This Kind of Album to Love!
Hit: 5 Stars
Carly Simon hasn't sounded this great in a long time. I was so encouraged by the simple beauty and an improved sound on "Into White," but never imagined she would return on this album with the joyfulness and happy spirit that exudes on "This Kind of Love." High notes not heard since "Spy" or "Letters Never Sent," blend with dense sound quality and musicianship. Perhaps it's the quiet influence of Carly's son Ben Taylor and David Saw, who both contributed songs and perform throughout the tracks, that give the music so many layers. The Brazilian sounds from the opening track to "Hola Soleil" and "The Last Samba," lift the whole project, and when it's all done, you want to play it again and again.

OK, I wrote that title just to stir the ready-wrath of the irascible Joni Mitchell. Having just read "Girls Like Us," the group-biography of Joni Mitchell, Carole King and Carly, I've been mulling Carly's place in the triumvirate. Back at the height of their popularity, Carly wrote better lyrics than Carole -- and better melodies than Joni. Now, she tends to do both better than either. And "This Kind of Love" underscores those abilities very nicely. Not only are the lyrics keenly crafted honesty, the music if inventive and wonderfully unpredictable. The production is flawless. All in all, "This Kind of Love" is the most enjoyable collection of songs Carly has released in the last 20 years.Free Music Review: A New Direction for Carly

Carly Simon has occasionally (and successfully) performed songs in the samba style ("He Likes To Roll", for example). Still, it is surprising to learn that Carly has released a CD consisting entirely (except for one song) of sambas. This is quite a daring effort for Carly considering it is a dramatic change from anything she has done in the past. It does take a while to acclimate yourself to these songs but once you become acquainted with them, you can truly appreciate the effort that went into them.
One thing that hasn't changed is Carly's expressive voice. From the soaring high notes to the sultry low notes, you realize no one can handle a love song the way Carly Simon does.
Free Music Review: wistful beauty...

Carly Simon has been underrated in the past, and I think it's because people don't realize what a true gift it is to be able to convey JOY. She has done this again with wit and economy on "This Kind of Love." Her ability to tinge this joy with melancholy (I'd say "rue," but, dang it, that's pretentious) gives her songs depth. I have all her albums; "This Kind of Love" is as good as, say, "Another Passenger" or "Letters Never Sent." If I were in charge of things Carly Simon would rule the world (and then I would not actually be in charge, which would be fine). Get this album! It's wonderful.
