The video is delightful. I didn't think much of the song as a song, but as a comedy sketch it's great.

Sorry but I don’t think Carly has it in her to make as many godawful album covers as Numan, which if you ask me was half the experience
― frogbs, Saturday, 13 August 2022 16:30 (one year ago) link
Ok, music video is great. Almost makes me like the song.

New song “Talking To Yourself” sounds like something from Kiss? It’s good but I’m starting to think “Western Wind” was a giant red herring.

it's so much better than the other two, very kiss yeah

all of the interviews i've read with crj around this record suggest she didn't drift toward any one sound with this record, there's apparently a real range, of which "beach house" and "western wind" represent the poles
"talking to yourself" has plunged me in a perfectly-synesthetically-recreated sense memory of 2012 when i was depressed and listening to crj's kiss daily, this should be horrible but for whatever reason i am really enjoying timecrushed "th1s k1ss 2.0" complete with wormhole-dilated crj vocal fx
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 16 September 2022 04:18 (one year ago) link
FINALLY a good song
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Friday, 16 September 2022 06:00 (one year ago) link
i sure hope "western wind" and "beach house" are both outliers

Doesn't sound much like Kiss to me. Maybe a little like their disco phase?

This new song is amazing, can't wait for the album

I can't tell if Keyes is joking or not.

same here, not feeling these singles at all sadly..

the coda ("and in the morning...") is fucking amazing basically

"bends" ;_;

Good song, this album is going to be great.
― Bee OK, Sunday, 9 October 2022 00:38 (one year ago) link
this is very solid, i like the generally chill vibe. the only thing i don't like is "beach house". "western wind" was an odd single but works better in context of the album's vibe. "bends" and "bad thing twice" are especially great
― ufo, Sunday, 9 October 2022 01:42 (one year ago) link
"keep away"!!!!!
this album settles into such a gorgeous, relaxed groove from "bends" onwards
― uberweiss, Sunday, 9 October 2022 19:22 (one year ago) link
big fan of this record even though it is obv her most varied offering yet. simultaneously it's also the one that hits the most yacht rock/sophistipop notes in a row tho
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Sunday, 9 October 2022 22:17 (one year ago) link
yeah the sophisti- vibes on this are wonderful
― ufo, Sunday, 9 October 2022 23:25 (one year ago) link
Where/how is this album already available?
― Tim F, Sunday, 9 October 2022 23:48 (one year ago) link
it leaked so soulseek or wherever else
― ufo, Sunday, 9 October 2022 23:49 (one year ago) link
wtf I love "Beach House" now
― J. Sam, Sunday, 9 October 2022 23:52 (one year ago) link
It really fits as part of that opening run of sub-3-minute songs
― J. Sam, Sunday, 9 October 2022 23:54 (one year ago) link
it kind of fits with the vibe but not really, easily the worst thing on here
― ufo, Sunday, 9 October 2022 23:55 (one year ago) link
last time I tried to find an early leak of one of her albums I downloaded a false-labelled hour of a man shouting "I am Carly Rae Jepsen I like to sing the songs" so the bar for me trying to find this is quite low

"shooting star" has me completely delirious
there are so many amazing outros on this album
― uberweiss, Tuesday, 11 October 2022 18:46 (one year ago) link
"bad thing twice" => "shooting star" => "go find yourself or whatever" => "the loneliest time" is cinema

Was alerted to this by sample of video with Rufus Wainwright that will appear in full tomorrow.

The early singles work really well in the context of the album. Loving the sophisti-pop vibes on a few of these tracks. On my second run through now and it's hitting the spot.
― The Ghost Club, Thursday, 20 October 2022 21:30 (one year ago) link
Far Away is great. Love the Scritti Politti-esque synth bassline in the chorus.
― The Ghost Club, Thursday, 20 October 2022 21:41 (one year ago) link
Ok so Beach House still misses. But Western Wind does work much better in the album context. Still not a great single, but it adds some nice mid-album atmosphere.
The last two singles (Talking to Yourself, Three Loneliest Time) both slay on the record.
― The Ghost Club, Thursday, 20 October 2022 21:46 (one year ago) link
Lol the*
Are y'all too busy listening to Taylor?
This album is really good, much better than Dedicated. Much more variety.

It's late in America, tomorrow is going to be a fun day. Can't wait to hear this.
― Bee OK, Friday, 21 October 2022 05:39 (one year ago) link
it leaked like two weeks ago so there's a million other things to hear today. i think it's a little worse than dedicated just for "beach house" but still pretty good overall
― ufo, Friday, 21 October 2022 05:41 (one year ago) link
Fair enough. And yeah Beach House isn't great...
― The Ghost Club, Friday, 21 October 2022 05:44 (one year ago) link

Jesus, I somehow hadn't heard Western Wind until now
― imago, Friday, 21 October 2022 13:07 (one year ago) link

I think the only track which hasn't really convinced me yet is the opener, weirdly, cos people seem to love that one
