Carly Simon's 1971 album "Anticipation" is a charming and introspective collection of songs that showcase her unique blend of folk, pop, and rock influences. The album's title track, which became one of Simon's signature songs, is a bittersweet ode to the uncertainty and excitement of new love, while other standout tracks like "Legend in Your Own Time" and "Our First Day Together" showcase Simon's gift for crafting memorable melodies and insightful lyrics. Produced by Paul Samwell-Smith, the warm and intimate feel of the acoustic instrumentation and Simon's expressive voice, with its distinctive vibrato, is at its best here. From the poignant "The Girl You Think You See" to the upbeat "Share the End," "Anticipation" is a cohesive and satisfying listen that ranks among the best of Simon's early work.
