Carly Rae Jepsen - The Loveliest Time / The Loneliest Time

The One (but with amped up energy) comparisons are accurate . As a stan that's had the lyrics to The One in my signature since 2016.... gurls I'm shaking, decimated, and couldn't be happier. Thanks Mom.

This is my favorite so far and gives more Dedicated than Emotion to these ears. I echo some of the fears that the album will be very patchwork, which I'm never really a big fan of.
 
Talking To Yourself has revived my excitement for this album after not liking Beach House at all and finding Western Wind a little underwhelming.
 
Talking To Yourself has that obsessed-in-and-out-of-love, vaguely sinister stalker energy I love about certain songs in Carly’s discography. Songs like Fever, Emotion, I’ll Be Your Girl, Tonight I’m Getting Over You all have her sort of playing up the role of a “crazy” ex-girlfriend that won’t go gently into that good night after a breakup - she wants them to hurt and never forget.

Honestly one of my favorite aspects of her music. My sociopathic Queen. ❤️
 
Yeah, Western Wind has not been beaten in the slightest and I’m a bit sad we’re not getting an album in that world, but this is still so much fun and I’m grateful for the bop.

It’s clear the album will be a jukebox and I’ll just need to deal with that kind of sonic disarray.
