Into White (album)

Into White is an album by the American singer-songwriter Carly Simon. It is her 23rd studio album (30th overall), and her fifth album of pop standards.

Released on January 2, 2007 by Columbia Records, Into White was produced by the Martha's Vineyard producer Jimmy Parr, with whom Simon has worked extensively as his studio is close to her Tisbury farm. Simon's children, Sally Taylor and Ben Taylor, appear on the album. The three perform a choral trio on the track "You Can Close Your Eyes".

After the success of Reflections and Moonlight Serenade, Into White continued Simon's recently rejuvenated high chart profile and became Billboard′s Hot Shot Debut, entering the chart at No. 15 and peaking at No. 13 in its second week, and staying on the charts for 10 weeks. The album also hit No. 1 on the Top Internet Albums chart.

Reception

The album received a very warm and positive reception from critics. PopMatters rated 8 out of 10, and called the album "the first musical gift to grace 2007", and praised the track "You Can Close Your Eyes" saying "There’s a shimmering beauty that’s particular to how familial voices intertwine and the union of these three voices is singularly beautiful", and concluded "Ultimately, Into White serves the legacy of Carly Simon very well".
