Carly Rae Jepsen • Kiss

can someone please help to repost to a site with a functional link to the PC Music / Danny L Harle collab? Everywhere I look its down. I Know you aint supposed to post links here.

Also the Exploder podcast is dope dope dope, didn't know about it til now, THANK YOU Spectrist

There's this real obscure site you may not have heard about:

I like this better than just about everything on Emotion

really not into the eurotrance/hardstyle production values and that incessant 4/4 beat.

Yeah it sucks. Not even a good tune

it's the same problem all his stuff has where there's maybe an ok melody but the backing is deliberately so awkward rhythmically it completely ruins it

oh I really like its pinball wizardry

video is lovely too

I do like the melody, I mean at least the chorus could be worked into a slower groovier song.

what i've heard of this is lovely

oh there's only one song

it's lovely

as for 'incessant 4/4 beat', there's loads of syncopation

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

Happy 1 year E•MO•TION! Your anniversary present is coming this Friday 8/26 🙊

All her covers (assuming that's the cover art for something) should be pinky blue.

Also: cover connection with Gazelle Twin!

hoping this is more than just First Time/Fever

two new songs (Higher and The One) and counting...

from the clip, "the one" sounds excellent

two minute previews of all 8 songs are here:

1 minute*

Not available in UK it seems.

the previews got taken not long after they went up there

Ah, OK. Looking forward.

It's already on Spotify @ just past midnight!

I hope they make a movie about the writing/recording sessions for this album someday. These "leftovers" are better than just about anything that has been or will be released by anybody this year.

they don't even feel like leftovers whatsoever! they do such a great job of cohering into their own little standalone album.

anyway i think "roses" is gonna be the one i'll be listening to face down on the bedroom floor at 2 in the morning

<3 the one

the rest is whatever

"fever" is not whatever

Good listen so far here.

lol @ "store" though

love that "store" has the grindin' beat

store is her "california"

'Cry' has been the one on repeat this morning.

feels a bit underwhelming? I mean, if out of those 250 songs "store" rose to the top, maybe I don't want to hear the 230 unreleased ones.

with the De La Soul out today and my still absorbing the Britney, I'll wait till next week to listen

now that carly has songs called "fever," "body language," and "the one," is she kylie

I listened to it this morning and agree that there isn't anything here that really measures up to the stuff on Emotion. I'm fine with that though - I much prefer the format of a B-side collection as opposed to a Deluxe Edition that features the full album being re-released with a bunch of also-rans. The only ones that really stood out were "First Time" and "The One". I was kinda sleep-deprived while listening though, so I'll give it some more time.

OK fuck it I listened to the back half. "Cry" ranks with her best.

First Time, Higher and Fever are all as great as anything on Emotion

Store's chorus sounds plugged in from a completely different, less good song, which is disappointing as the verses really do feel like they're building to something great.

Cry, Roses, Fever, and First Time could've easily replaced some of the actual tracks on the album and ended up being highlights of said album.

can't even deal with "cry"

uh lol

'store' from the E•MO•TION B sides is actually 5 years old, it was originally written for an anti-smoking ad in 2011

Haha!

It's really the only blight on the whole thing, though.

"Higher" is my jam.

the divisiveness of 'store' is a mystery to me, it's fine! has the feeling of a scratch lyric that she just couldn't shake, why doesn't everyone like that???

that Canadian anti-smoking ad killed me - "you could buy so many clothes!!!". I like "Store" better now.

The chorus hook reminds me of something and I can’t quite place my finger on it.

I'm just going to the store, to the store. I'm just going to the store. You might not see me anymore, anymore. I'm just going to the store.

Is that a reply to me?

no i just felt like writing out the chorus. love that song.

bow wow wow yippie yo yippie yay. bow wow yippie yo yippie yay.
