Carly Simon Announces New Album 'Comes in Waves' and Shares Powerful Single 'Howl'

Carly Simon makes a welcome return to pop music with her first new album of original material since 2008, scheduled to arrive on 14 August. The album, titled Comes in Waves, is accompanied by Carly’s powerful new single Howl, a cathartic pop track that reunites fans with her legendary vocals.

On the new single, Carly shares: “Howl lives in that space between betrayal and forgiveness, where anger has to be voiced before it can be released. It is about letting the frustration out so it does not sit and simmer. The song begins in anger, but it moves towards forgiveness, speaking to any situation where trust has been broken.”

The track is a collaboration between Carly and co-writer and producer David Spencer, with the song featuring the legendary artist singing: “Howl like the wind, roar like the river / Wail like the rain, cry, shout and shiver / Shake like a dog, hiss like a fire / Scratch out the moon, call love a liar / Call love a liar…” in its anthemic chorus.

The album contains nine new original songs and a couple of songs the artist wrote earlier in her life and decided to revisit.

The full tracklist for Comes in Waves can be seen below. Welcome back Carly, it has been too long.
