My Romance

Carly Simon

A hushed, intimate collection of jazz standards. Simon’s deep alto is captured with startling closeness against sparse, elegant piano and orchestral arrangements.

February 22, 1990 · Arista

A sophisticated, late-night intimacy that feels both comforting and slightly lonely.

Moments Worth Listening For
The breathy, vulnerable opening of 'In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning' that feels like a whispered secret.
The seamless, melancholic transition between the defiance of 'By Myself' and the longing of 'I See Your Face Before Me'.
The sparse piano arrangement on 'Time After Time' that strips the song back to its purest emotional core.

Romantic saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
