Carly Rae Jepsen - The Loveliest Time / The Loneliest Time

[Lander]

We still got Anxious so no!

It’s better than Beach House and more deserving of a place on the vinyl, sorry!

 

[Fabian (Taylor’s Version)]

The opening bars of Surrender My Heart sound exactly like Fleetwood Macs Seven Wonders.

 

[esswein]

Listening to the album non-stop. I think that the highs on Dedicated are unmatched but the Loneliest Time are all killer-non filler while Dedicated has its lows.

 

[Bon Frère]

Bad Thing Twice is so addictive. I wish I could pinpoint what exactly slightly nostalgic itch it’s happening to scratch for me when I listen to it. I almost wanna say early Florrie.

No fillers in this album - even the ones that sound uncannily simple left me in awe.

Bad Thing Twice sounds like Cry from her own Emotion Side B?

All the bonus tracks deserved to be in the standard.

 

[kaleidoscope]

Bends... WOW! What a beautiful, evocative, gorgeous sad song. The best one for sure.

 

[HippoSteaks]

Carly, Ari and MUNA have carried pop in the states for a while for me.

 

[Andrew]

It's not a Dedicated Side B, but it's better than Dedicated on my first few listens

Bends and Surrender Your Heart are 11/10's

 

[GimmeWork]

2019 was a crazy year is my only excuse.

It's fine. You're forgiven bestie... so long as you go listen to it and side b now. ddddd... In ways I'm actually jealous of the dopamine rush you're about to get from first listens. Many liked side b even more than a, but they're both completely essential, so enjoy!

 

[Andy French]

Things I would like on a Side B of this album/at some point during the era but probably won't get:

• A remix of Shooting Star with Kylie Minogue
• An extended 12" version of the title track, preferably by John Morales
• A Skylar Spence remix of Bad Thing Twice

 

[Uno]

Not sure why it took the album coming out for me to finally fall in love with Talking To Yourself -- truly one of her best!

 

[Aneres11]

This album is challenging for AOTY for me. It’s just incredible. It’s all killer and no filler, even the bonus tracks. And that’s when you know you’re on to a winner when even the bonus tracks are must listens each play through.

 

[GimmeWork]

WAIT!
*Carly confirms side b
*Rostam confirms "uptempo pop bangers"

Ladies, my blood is feeling awfully warm rn.

I don't mind So Nice (the weakest on the album, but a bop). That said, the "la las" are a career low.

Would love to see that feature with Kylie. Shooting Stars does sound like it could belong on her Disco album.

Not again ddd, we just had this conversation. Are we stuck in a time loop?!

(Her post-Kiss career low was Feels Right sorry to upset anyone.)

Beach House has completely grown on me. There's a cute video of her performing it on TV in Japan on YouTube.

 

[mindtrappa]

I can't listen to "Shooting Star" ever since I saw someone say it sounds like Trisha Paytas singing.

 

[hologram]

She was fantastic last night! Her second Seattle show of this tour. Wished she had played some more newer stuff is probably my only complaint.

 

[Bon Frère]

It got 16th place this week, her best performance in a decade.

 

[kmn04]

I can't believe the masterpiece Go Find Yourself or Whatever was written in 20 minutes?! What? So excited for Side B and hoping we get to hear those bops. I love Carly and Rostam together. They make mindblowing goodness.
