Carly Simon has announced her first new album of original songs since 2008, marking her return after 18 years with introspective tracks reflecting on personal experiences, relationships, and health challenges including Parkinson's disease and cancer. The album features songs like 'Howl' and 'Peaches,' and revisits her past collaborations and influences, including her complex relationship with James Taylor and a rumored songwriting exchange with Mick Jagger. Her 1972 hit, inspired by a Hollywood executive, remains a landmark in pop music history.
