After an 18-year hiatus, Carly Simon has released a new album, driven by a recent health scare. According to a review in *Dagens Nyheter*, the album, “Comes in Waves,” showcases Simon’s strength as a lyricist. The music gracefully blends 1970s-inspired folk ballads with elements of playful, “kitschig” pop. Alexandra Sundqvist, the *Dagens Nyheter* reviewer, highlights the album's elegant transitions between these styles. The return to music appears to have been a necessary and creatively fulfilling experience for Simon. This latest work demonstrates Simon remains a capable and compelling artist after a long break. The album signals a significant moment in Simon's career and a welcome return for her fans.
