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
― boxedjoy, Sunday, 24 February 2019 10:33 (five years ago) link
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
― maffew12, Sunday, 24 February 2019 14:34 (five years ago) link
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.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 24 February 2019 14:40 (five years ago) link
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
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Sunday, 24 February 2019 16:53 (five years ago) link
"hyped" though right?
― ☮ (peace, man), Sunday, 24 February 2019 16:59 (five years ago) link
i think you get hype for bops and hyped for slaps?
― maffew12, Sunday, 24 February 2019 18:02 (five years ago) link
Oh christ, I'm going to have to go consult urbandictionary.com, aren't I?

Slap is a verb. Bop is a noun.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 24 February 2019 18:37 (five years ago) link
bop as in "she bop" is a verb though, no?
― The immortal Hydra Viridisimma (outdoor_miner), Sunday, 24 February 2019 18:40 (five years ago) link
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.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 24 February 2019 18:44 (five years ago) link
What about "getting hype"? It sounds kinda like "you're bias".

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

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.

I think my last jam was a Carly bop :'(

i've heard some songs from this and... i don't think anyone has anything to worry about
― J0rdan S., Monday, 25 February 2019 04:35 (five years ago) link
hoping that means the album is on the way sooner rather than later and we don't have another promotion cycle as messy as Emotion's was
"Party for One" was underwhelming as a lead single but it's still quite good. everything i've heard of NTIFY (including a very very low quality leak of what seemed to be the full track) suggests it will be fantastic so i'm not very worried about the album
― ufo, Monday, 25 February 2019 05:02 (five years ago) link
2015 might as well have been a hundred years ago. Do albums even release at region specific times anymore?

that's a little too cynical for me, there are some jams on it and it's better than the last one

Songs are good. Album isn't due out until this summer though, which depresses me a little, but will hopefully help her in terms of release strategy or something.
― ☮ (peace, man), Thursday, 28 February 2019 12:30 (five years ago) link
these songs are really nice, looking forward to the album even though i doubt it'll feel anywhere near as exciting as Emotion did
if she mentioned a release window, that's something at least, though it's a shame it's still a while away then.
― ufo, Thursday, 28 February 2019 12:47 (five years ago) link
none of these songs have completely ruled my life like say the night the title track of emotion leaked but i'm hopeful
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 February 2019 16:21 (five years ago) link
yeah that's my feeling as well. pretty solid but no eurekas yet.

I thought it was very bold of Popjustice to point out that these songs aren't exceptional and that "Cut To The Feeling" being left of Emotion and B-Side suggests that Jepsen and her camp don't really know what they're doing
― boxedjoy, Sunday, 3 March 2019 11:00 (five years ago) link
doesn’t seem v bold of popjustice to be wrong, seems like their normal thing

finally heard these and am board with them except for one thing -- between "no drug like me" and "party for one" what the hell is going on with her vocals? her voice used to be so clear and bright, and now it's like listening to '10s vs. '90s Mariah Carey. did she get a new and terrible vocal producer? is she trying to make her vocals breathy in some ill-advised R&B pivot? (which wouldn't even make sense, since there are plenty of R&B vocalists with that same brightness of tone -- Kehlani comes to mind)? is this a casualty of The New Chill in pop (who the hell listened to Carly Rae Jepsen for chill songs?) did she blow out her voice on the "Cut to the Feeling" chorus?
