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").

Addicted to This Kind of Love October 11, 2008 Carly 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 I don't think her voice is less effective or less attractive--she uses her lower register more, and to great effect on songs like 'This Kind of Love' and 'The Last Samba.' Certain tracks are must-haves for any Carly fan--the sultry, latin-infused title track; 'So Many People to Love,' a shuffling beat, a catchy tune and mournful lyrics based on Wim Wenders's film 'Wings of Desire', all beautifully phrased; 'They Just Want You to Be There', with a shimmering Latin arrangement, pulsing strings, lush vocals and a soaring chorus; 'Hold Out Your Heart', which sounds like Carly of old (and reminds me of 'Love You By Heart' from Spy). Some artists just make music for people who love music--Carly is one of them. This is one to treasure.
Carly's still the best!!!! August 29, 2008 Another first class performance by one of my favorite composers and performers. Love the Brazilian taste and that voice!!!

I have a new favorite song... August 8, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.

I 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.
