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

^Sounds great based on that 20ish second clip.

Greer, Saturday, 28 February 2015 04:33 (nine years ago) link

ooh nice

i mean it seems like everyone had decided it was going to be amazing before we knew anything at all but still

dyl, Saturday, 28 February 2015 04:49 (nine years ago) link

haven't paused the clip yet

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.

Johnny Fever, Sunday, 1 March 2015 18:26 (nine years ago) link

this is fucking great

OH DID I SAY TOO MUCH?
I'M SO IN MY HEAD
WHEN WE'RE OUT OF TOUCH

CAN'T STOP CRYING I'M ON FIRE

uberweiss, Sunday, 1 March 2015 18:56 (nine years ago) link

it's like everything you say is a sweet rev-e-la-a-tion

uberweiss, Sunday, 1 March 2015 19:06 (nine years ago) link

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

future glown (crüt), Sunday, 1 March 2015 19:09 (nine years ago) link

there's a third verse? only hearing bliss and iridescence

this sounds a lot like taylor

nose, Sunday, 1 March 2015 19:29 (nine years ago) link

this is fucking great

boxedjoy, Sunday, 1 March 2015 19:31 (nine years ago) link

it is quite 'new romantics'

uberweiss, Sunday, 1 March 2015 19:39 (nine years ago) link

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.

MarkoP, Sunday, 1 March 2015 19:46 (nine years ago) link

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

maura, Sunday, 1 March 2015 19:56 (nine years ago) link

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")

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

lex pretend, Sunday, 1 March 2015 20:58 (nine years ago) link

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.

Johnny Fever, Sunday, 1 March 2015 21:45 (nine years ago) link

Uhm, I do.

MarkoP, Sunday, 1 March 2015 21:49 (nine years ago) link

one of these days i'll listen to it

speak for yourself

katherine, Sunday, 1 March 2015 22:09 (nine years ago) link

I'm sure plenty of people like super-timid sub-Natasha Bedingfield acoustipop shit, but not me.

Johnny Fever, Sunday, 1 March 2015 22:15 (nine years ago) link

This tune is a belter. How long until the album is out?
