I think every single song on here except fucking "Good Time" ended up growing on me well beyond what I imagined was possible on my first listen. So, actually, this album rules more than it did before.

Does anyone know who did the version/remix which loops the "I threw a wish in the well/Don't ask me I'll never tell" bit over and over with a super bright production thing going on (kind of bubblegum bass-y), techno build dynamics, breakdown etc. I heard this out at a club and it was amazing then I somehow streamed it somewhere but misidentified the track and now I can't find it. Got a feeling it's a UK producer wot did it, maybe? Help!
Cheers

Apparently she's working on new material with Dev Hynes & Arel Rechtshaid.

^Sounds great based on that 20ish second clip.

It's pretty good but doesn't feel as effortless as call me maybe

Few things ever will, but it doesn't diminish how good this is.

song is mostly great, should've ditched the third verse imo

this sounds a lot like taylor

IT IS BEAUTIFUL
― nose, Sunday, 1 March 2015 19:39 (nine years ago) link
To me it sounds like Taylor, in that a lot of stuff from her last album reminded me of stuff from Carly Rae Jepsen's last album.
― MarkoP, Sunday, 1 March 2015 19:45 (nine years ago) link
I mean it also doesn't sound too far off from how Tegan and Sara's last album sounded.

I rly rly rly rly rly rly like this
― katherine, Sunday, 1 March 2015 19:48 (nine years ago) link
(it sounds like early madonna, in the way that a lot of things out lately do -- I almost want to say the "revelation" line is trying to be "into the groove" but I know it isn't)

yeah i thought the same thing. and it's not like taylor's album doesn't sound like a bunch of 80s pop itself
this is just really really really really fucking good

please read a book
― maura, Sunday, 1 March 2015 19:56 (nine years ago) link
or like listen to something released pre-11/2014
I love that this deals with my two favourite emotions in pop music, at once, namely "I really really really really really really like you" and "do you want me too?" - the two most relatable feelings possible.
I love the Taylor-esque details in the verse lyrics but I think this is stronger because it doesn't come with the baggage of the cleverness of inevitable examinations of authorial intent - not to say something like "Style" doesn't stand on its own merits but the simplicity of this feels a lot more universal in its scope.

why
― nose, Sunday, 1 March 2015 20:51 (nine years ago) link
i think the taylor-esque details are actually crj-esque details. this song is definitely of a piece with her other liminal-state-of-wanting songs ("call me maybe," "tonight i'm getting over you")
― insufficiently familiar with xgau's work to comment intelligently (BradNelson), Sunday, 1 March 2015 20:52 (nine years ago) link
this is super-good but it sounds more like, yknow, just carly rae's own debut album than anything else!
― lex pretend, Sunday, 1 March 2015 20:58 (nine years ago) link
i mean not exactly like it but it sounds pretty much like what i expected a CRJ comeback to
You do know that Kiss was not her debut album, right?
― MarkoP, Sunday, 1 March 2015 21:44 (nine years ago) link
Nobody, including her most likely, cares about her actual debut album.
