hello!

"julien" comes out friday

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMP-JqFQ_l4

Fully expecting at least an interpolation.

Lekakis all the way

also, if i'm reading this instagram post correctly, this is the actual album cover https://www.instagram.com/p/BwX2Z27FBte/

Yeah, I think you're right. (I did first read it as 'Cover reveal one month away' tho)

Reminds me of Robyn doing the whole I'm pretending to make out with someone gag in Dancing On My Own.

Also, I realize everybody is probably ogling her back, but take a second and gaze upon those fringes! We're going to get some 70s in this album for sure.

you can hear a preview of "Julien" here, which also confirms the album cover: https://itunes.apple.com/nz/album/dedicated/1459935069

sounds really nice, in the vein of the smoother tracks from Emotion like the title track and "Let's Get Lost"

oh jeez i'm gonna love this song

if it lives up to that preview i expect it'll be my favourite so far

ILX pre-cover?

Perhaps...but we need songtitles in full first.

Just putting this out there :D

"julien" is indeed really nice. at this point i'm not really expecting this album to be the revelation that Emotion was but if she can keep releasing songs this nice it'll still be a worthy follow up

It's a nice enough song, I guess, but isn't it a bit of an odd choice for an album opener?

this one sounds amazing to me damn

julien
it was more than a fantasy
to the end

this is how you write a pop lyric baby

Me 4 minutes ago: Listen here, fraggle, history is filled with strange album openers! Tears of Rage from Music from Big Pink, Over & Over from Tusk, etc.

Me now: It's a nice enough song, I guess, but isn't it a bit of an odd choice for an album opener?

love the idea of the album swirling and snapping itself into place

it's amazing

i LOVE this

Hook is very prince-y :>

carly singing over what sounds like a french house edit from 2001, feels effortless and weightless in the best way

I can't listen at work so I'm just imagining it's a Dave Matthews cover.

Spice Girls cover obviously.

u guys heard this?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p07880pw

"Too Much" is really evocative of something else but i can't place it

it's fine but not amazing

after a few listens i love it </inevitable>

it's v "gimme love, again"

Was looking to see if the album has leaked earlier (it hasn't) and found this unofficial Through My Head EP from a couple of months ago that contains some unreleased tracks from, apparently, 2014-2017

I am sad to report it does not interpolate the vengaboys

although it does have chords similar enough that I almost suspect it was gonna

boom boom boom boom, we couldn't get the clearance, the clearance for the tune

oh i know what "Too Much" reminds me of now, it feels like it's right off Tove Styrke's Sway since the stripped down synth riff with 3-3-2 thing that it does was also the basis for most of the songs on that album

also checked if it had leaked today and was rewarded with a fake leak of a guy yelling "i am carly rae jepsen i love to sing" a lot

lmao

it was on soulseek

I like how with that 5-10-15-20 feature, the older the artist is, the more albums they get to list. Carly Rae only gets 6, but someone like David Byrne gets to list 13.
Anyway, the most interesting thing about her list was the old pictures: https://cdn.pitchfork.com/longform/909/carlyraejepsen4.jpg

The album has leaked for real this time

omg "want you in my room"

why is it so short though!

unrelated to the new album but i had no idea that haim co-wrote "making the most of the night"

15 tracks on mine (but all just under/over the three minute mark)

i meant "want you in my room" not the album. "for sure" and "party for one" are officially bonus tracks though

Probably not as crazy my assertion that Tug of War is one of her best songs.

still think this falls off in the last third, there was definitely material on side b that deserved to be on here instead

but you do have to love her generosity, having released double albums worth of material from the sessions for each of her last 3 albums, makes for fun sequence it yourself exercises

What gets bonkers is that, despite releasing these "double albums", for certain CRJ die-hards, there's still an entire rabbit hole of unreleased CRJ songs that have since been leaked to the internet, such as Disco Darling (which uses a lyric that ended up in Window).

give us the 8-disc boxsets already
