When Paul Simon travelled to Kenya with his wife Edie Brickell 2 years ago she used a small mp3 recorder to record a kind of audio diary.

One day Simon pulled out the audio and hey presto…inspiration.

So Beautiful or So What," a studio album that many critics are calling his finest since "The Rhythm of the Saints" is out now.

The single After Life is a catchy little number about arriving in heaven.

With African guitars echoing ‘Graceland’, 'So Beautiful or So What' finds Simon doing what he does best: making some truly excellent pop songs.
