SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:30 Min.
From her 1990 album, Have You Seen Me Lately?, Carly Simon performs this track. She collaborated with Jacob Brackman in composing this tune.
REVIEW:
Channeling the concerned voice of a wife observing her husband personal transformation, Carly Simon’s storytelling is in vintage form. Precision details of an unfaithful spouse’s mid-life crisis, both subtle and expanded upon, demonstrate her mastery of melding articulation with emotion in this downbeat tune.
How easily Simon packs it all into her insightful vocals is truly impressive. Yet, the less-than-sunny subject matter isn’t going to make “It’s Not Like Him” an option for any easy listening playlists. It’s very much a song one has to be in the mood to listen to.
