About The Record:

Spoiled Girl, by Carly Simon, is a synth-rock and pop album showcasing the singer-songwriter's exploration of 1980s themes like yuppie culture, relationships, jealousy, and personal reinvention through a mix of danceable tracks and more introspective cuts. It features an impressive array of producers including Arthur Baker, Phil Ramone, Don Was, and others, giving it a contemporary, electronic edge that energizes Simon's signature style. Standout tracks include the title song critiquing selfishness, the steamy Anyone But Me, the haunting fan-favorite Black Honeymoon about sexual jealousy (a bonus track on CD/cassette praised as one of her finest), and the self-penned Make Me Feel Something. Tired of Being Blonde offers a witty take on platinum desperation with strong AOR rock vibes, while My New Boyfriend delivers a sassy, list-like celebration of a better partner over infectious dance beats. The album became a cult favorite in her catalog despite mixed reviews, with Tired of Being Blonde reaching No. 70 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 34 on the Adult Contemporary chart.
