About this album

Anticipation is a sharp early statement from Carly Simon, pairing confessional songwriting with polished soft rock and pop-rock arrangements. Released in 1971, it followed her self-titled breakthrough and helped establish her as one of the era’s most distinctive singer-songwriters, equally capable of intimacy, wit and emotional candour. The title song became one of Simon’s best-known singles, while the album’s reflective writing and melodic clarity deepen its reputation beyond a single hit. Built around her precise phrasing and strong piano-led compositions, Anticipation shows the confidence of an artist quickly defining her own voice in early 1970s pop.
