Carly Simon Signs with Hear

(EZ-Tracks) - Carly Simon has joined her ex-- James Taylor, along with Paul McCartney and Joni Mitchell on the lineup of Starbucks' Hear Music label. Her first release for the company, "This Kind of Love," will be available April 29, according to a Billboard.com report. According to Billboard, the 13-track album is loaded with s a Brazilian-heavy sound, and finds Simon collaborating with Jimmy Webb and Frank Filipetti. The trio last worked together on Simon’s 1997 album "Film Noir." You don't have to be singing bossa nova or samba to get the essence" of Brazilian music," Simon says. "There are songs that fit no one rhythm or generic type or song progression." Simon’s daughter, Sally, and son, Ben, wrote one song apiece on the new album. This Kind of Love" is Simon's first album of original material since 2000's "The Bedroom Tapes." Her last two projects have featured standards. This is another major coup for Hear Music, the upstart Starbuck’s label, which has made quite a splash in the recording industry.

So, Starbucks thinks its customers want to buy albums of Carly Simon doing faux Brazilian music? Ick. I’m making my own espresso from now on.
