Paul Simon - Stranger to Stranger

Review by Dustin Lowman

Simon gets total credit for staying interesting and pushing stylistic boundaries at an age where many of his colleagues have fallen into different versions of complacence»

'Stranger to Stranger' - Paul Simon's 13th solo record - is that it conjures a vivid and vital new context to his well-established genius as a singer and songwriter. Full of thrilling textures that feel fresh and modern, while still offering subtle and artful allusions to our shared musical past, 'Stranger to Stranger' presents the perfect opportunity to get to know Paul Simon in a new way. Produced by Simon and his longtime musical partner Roy Halee, the record - his first since 2011's acclaimed 'So Beautiful or So What' - ushers the listener into a brave new musical world where expectations are defied and exceeded, as they were thirty years ago with another masterwork, 'Graceland'.
