Simon is touring in support of his new album, So Beautiful Or So What (his first since 2006’s Surprise). A recent review of the album at NPR Music called it “his best since Graceland.” WXPN’s Milke Vasilikos wrote in his Featured Album review that “So Beautiful Or So What is a stunning album, in the true sense of an album, and easily settles in as one of the year’s best thus far.”
