Editorial Review: Album Description: Grammy Award-winner Carly Simon is one of the most respected vocalists and songwriters in music today. This Kind of Love ranks among her most personal albums, as well as one of her most stylistically diverse excursions, with songs ranging from gorgeous melodies to driving rhythms. This Kind of Love ranks among Simon's most personal albums as well as one of her most stylistically diverse excursions with songs ranging from gorgeous melodies to driving rhythms. The CD is co-produced by Simon, Frank Filipetti and Jimmy Webb who also wrote or co-wrote most of the arrangements. Filipetti worked his talent as the engineer as well as producer. The three first teamed up for Film Noir, Simon's album of standards that Webb produced in 1997. On This Kind of Love, Simon delivers 10 of her own songs (some of which she co-wrote), including the gently swaying title love song, the funky castigation of conniving celebrity-identity thieves ("People Say A Lot"), the catchy "How Could You Ever Forget" (one of Simon's personal favorites), the r&b-vibed "So Many People," the lyrical gem, "Sangre Dolce," and a waltz-time homage to her close friend, the humor columnist Art Buchwald, who passed in January 2007 ("Too Soon to Say Goodbye"). Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Addicted to This Kind of LoveCarly Simon's latest is a compelling, adventurous, personal album with beautiful, intricate arrangements, strong support from some great and even legendary musicians (Jimmy Webb), and memorable melodies. It may not appeal to everyone the first time through, but I don't think that Carly's thoughtful, emotional songs and lyrics and sometimes complex phrasing always do--it can take time to really 'get' these songs and settle into them. Carly is older now (who isn't?), but unlike some reviewers here ... Read More Rating: - Carly's still the best!!!!Another first class performance by one of my favorite composers and performers. Love the Brazilian taste and that voice!!! Thanks Carly Rating: - The great songs are really great!!!!Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3976WPK7FF8Z9 My name is Jeremy Gloff.

I am always up for making new friends and discussing the music I love!!! Rating: - I have a new favorite song...The title song is absolutely beautiful. Sexy, romantic, fun. I really enjoy the songs that have a Caribbean feeling. There is one rap song that I honestly dislike. It is not that Carly does it poorly; it is just that I don't think ANYONE does a decent rap song. My old Carly records are too scratchy to listen to any longer. I have gained a new appreciation of her talent & intend to re-buy previous albums. Rating:  - The Kind of LoveI was so excited that Carly Simon had a new release and could nolt have been more disappointed. Her voice is gone and she can't seem to sustain a note anymore. She should never have made this CD or she should have recorded more standards more suited to the octave she is comfortable with. I shoved the cd in a drawer and hopefully will remember not to play it again. Browse for similar items by category:
