Seven Psalms: Paul Simon's latest album is blatantly spiritual

The 81 year-old's latest project sees him musing on God, forgiveness and his own mortality 

Paul Simon’s new release Seven Psalms is so blatantly spiritual that it has turned a few heads, but scratch under the surface of his music and you find that he has been pondering deeper things for years.

Christianity Today magazine noted that his 2011 album So Beautiful or So What made several best-of-year lists, including their own. One of their headlines the next year was Simon admitting, “God comes up a lot in my songs.”
