Paul Simon “optimistic" about playing full-length concerts again

That dream led to his most recent album, Seven Psalms, released in 2023. Simon says he's already working on new music, including two new songs that have already been written. One of them is a duet he wrote with wife Edie Brickell, which he says "is different from anything I've written."

"I'm hoping to eventually be able to do a full-length concert," he told The Guardian. "I'm optimistic. Six months ago I was pessimistic."
