Ok. So I bought this as a kid because of ‘You Can Call Me Al’ in ’86. But I didn’t REALLY listen to it until maybe 1991/92. I quickly realized some songwriting was different than others. When I HEARD the title track with fresh ears, it crushed me.

The soundtrack of the long car journeys of my childhood. Grown-up pop genius from one of the best songwriters ever. Infectious world rhythms, with Paul's knowing words painting pictures of real life feelings.

8.5

8.5/10 — An endlessly enjoyable album that always leaves me in a better mood. Graceland is one of those rare albums that feels completely cohesive from beginning to end. It’s adventurous, melodic, upbeat, and full of personality, blending Paul Simon’s songwriting with African and American musical influences in a way that feels both unique and effortless. What I love most about this album is how consistently enjoyable it is. There aren’t many songs I feel the need to skip, and the entire record flows together as a complete listening experience. From “The Boy in the Bubble” and “You Can Call Me Al” to “Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes” and the title track, there’s an incredible mix of energy, emotion, and musicianship. It’s also an album I find myself coming back to over and over again. Sometimes I’ll put it on simply knowing that, by the time it’s finished, I’m going to be in a better mood than when I started. That’s a pretty special quality for an album to have. 8.5/10 — a complete, endlessly enjoyable album that never seems to get old. Maybe not a perfect 10, but one I know I can always return to and feel better for having listened to.

Classic. Bangers hits and fun songs. Extremely well produced and executed. This album lead many to discover legends like Ebo Taylor and other African beat artists. Great entry into that world and blending both American folk with Afro beat.

Somehow, it’s the perfect mixture of Paul Simon’s artistic instincts and South African interpretations of western melodies. No skips. Each one is a stunner.

This album is unique in using the voices of South African singers alongside Paul Simon and his band. It was not like anything else released in that moment. Some songs were stronger than others but all were made more unique by featuring the sound of South African vocalists and their incredible harmonies.
