did you inform him that he is a legend

Haha! Dunno I’ve known him since high school but I have mad respect for him.

rad

i feel like a bit of a heel cuz my buddy actually co-wrote "turn me up" (and "store) - not sure how i mixed that up

Sorry to be such an oaf here, but she really is genuinely very attractive. Very photogenic, at the very least.

shush

I like to imagine the Robyn album acted like a sort of Bat-signal to CRJ that it was OK to finally release something

(though not streaming in Canada yet, weirdly?)

a happy-sad anthem to masturbation - lacks the lift of her best songs, but good!

video pros: thorough gender, age, race inclusivity; kink positivity; song is pretty good
video cons: sponsored by Absolut, Postmates, Calvin Klein; fat people not invited to party of one; mainstreaming of breadfacing

Something's up. Concert film?

@carlyraejepsen honestly, i cant wait for tomorrow morning!!!!

new song called "now that i found you", so it seems

on netflix?

this sounds like a pepsi commercial

my prediction is that the song is the new theme for the next season of "queer eye"

btw NoTIFY = Now That I Found You fwiw

Apparently here is a low-quality snippet of it: http://www.carlyslayjepsen.com/wp/2019/02/12/carly-posts-cryptic-message-response-netflix-tweet/

Oh weird. I just woke up from a CRJ-related ILX Dream. See here: recently on ILX Dreams...

that leaked snippet's a few years old apparently so it may have changed since then, and very low quality, but the melody sounds great and what i can make out of the rest reminds me a lot of kylie at her best

WE'RE BAAACK HENNYS! Get ready to 💗 L<3VE YOURSELF! 💗 Queer Eye 3 launches March 15. HUGE thanks to @carlyraejepsen for this exclusive preview of her *NEW BOP*, "Now That I Found You.” 😘 pic.twitter.com/Dmj3ygXnhV

preview sounds excellent

Snippet sounds amazing

Another snippet. Is it rockist of me to want a whole actual song? Also, should we start a new thread for album 4?

Party For One (the song, not the video) was playing in Journeys Kids when I took my daughter to buy a new pair of shoes this week.

next up: "i touch myself" playing at the baby gap

I heard She-Bop in Kmart recently as well.

That's surprising. There are still K-Marts?

Yes, ours is actually pretty well-trafficked for people who don't want to drive the extra 15 minutes to Target. The nearest Wal-Mart is about half an hour away. I mean, it's still doomed and half the time I go there looking for something, they don't have it in stock.

And another 20 odd seconds

a friend is claiming she saw somewhere the gossip that Jeppo is dropping a full album on 2/27 and not just a song which would be AMAZING but I remain unconvinced that's how this is going to play out, nonetheless I've agreed to keep the evening free just in case

I'm thinking that it would have to be very soon after that at least. The rollout has definitely been weird, what with Party For One coming out in early November and then nothing for months until now. I think that song was ok, but not something that can sustain interest by itself for so long.

don't toy with my emotions like this

If the whole album is in the vein of Party For One and Now That I Found You, I can't see myself getting real hype about it.

Well, if emotion was all in the vein of I Really Like You it wouldn't have been so hot either.

"party for one" is a great song

if the whole album is in the vein of it and a song we've only heard a few clips of, i can see myself getting real hype about it

"hyped" though right?

i think you get hype for bops and hyped for slaps?

Oh christ, I'm going to have to go consult urbandictionary.com, aren't I?

Slap is a verb. Bop is a noun.

bop as in "she bop" is a verb though, no?

In modern parlance, bop is somewhat equivalent to what we would call a banger five years ago or a jam 15-20 years ago.

It can still be a verb as well if you wish.

What about "getting hype"? It sounds kinda like "you're bias".

gonna troll all the youngs by saying "this record yeets"

lol

xpost "hype" has been used colloquially as an adjective for a while now. might be helpful to compare it to what's happened with "chill" in the past 15-or-so years. also, not sure if you were being facetious about urban dictionary, but it tends to track actual usage pretty well: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hype

social network "this is my jam" really never had a chance

I loved that place. Made so many friends there. I still mourn the loss.

In some ways, it was the ideal of what a music-based internet community should be. I never fought with or held a grudge against any single person there for four whole years. It was just at its core about discovery and sharing. It wasn't long for this cruel world.
