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

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

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

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

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

mostly i think critics projected too hard onto emotion
― american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 16 May 2019 15:24 (four years ago) link
As a whole, Dedicated’s palette is more muted. It’s more in line with the current vogue of anesthetized songs than E•MO•TION was, which felt like a bright burst in the face of pop’s moody grays.
also this is an inaccurate description of the record
also, bad writing

I never considered Emotion a front-to-back masterpiece; it's its own sonic identity, different from Kiss, which I like as much.

The stereogum review is pretty OTM about Emotion (there really isn't a bad song anywhere on there), so i'm a little apprehensive about hearing the new one now.

Emotion wasn't meant to be this big statement album. It, like Dedicated, was just another collection of songs that happened to be excellent across the board. It was merely just the next album. The record found its own high critical acclaim, and it resonated with a sizable audience, and a large part of that connection had to do with the internet word-of-mouth for CRJ that came out of the love for Kiss (which is still an incredible record ftr). Not only is this Stereogum review holding Decidated in constant comparison to Emotion, but it's also creating this false narrative out of what this critic remembers witnessing during the Emotion era and is furthermore imbuing Carly Rae with false intentions as to how she makes music and navigates her career.

I don't have access to this fancy-ass leak yet. Just gonna have to wait until tomorrow. In the meantime, I'm just gonna share this emotion-era brain worm that has been troubling me.
