Carly Rae Jepsen • The Loneliest Time

"shadow" ;_;

"put it to rest" is going to be my favorite crj song of all time for a while. thinking of it as an indirect sequel to "warm blood," where that took place on the inside this one's on the outside, cool air rushing across bare skin

I can't listen to it yet, so i'm stuck revisiting The Loneliest Time.
And i'm realizing i was wrong about "Beach House". It's glorious.

i'm not entirely convinced by the song of "put it to rest" but the textures are absolutely gorgeous

Enjoying the variety and new avenues on this.

Psychedelic Switch is almost a Perfume track but with the dial tuned a bit more back towards Daft Punk.

This whole album is fantastic, but woah at Put It To Rest. Unbelievable song. Kind of goes a bit Heaven by Emeli Sande towards the end.

I love "Kamikaze"

what is the style of "Put It To Rest" call? that sorta intersection of the stuttering beat and floaty piano ... it's beautiful. i figure it sounds like some style of dance music i'm not familiar with.

Float house?

I think I've made peace with the fact that the only time CRJ and I were really vibing on the same plane was in 2015. Ah well.

After Last Night, Kollage, Psychedelic Switch and Put It To Rest are up there with my favourite things she's done. I was not expecting to love this album as much as I do.

^^ I'd add "So Right" to those picks. I wasn't crazy about "Shy Boy" so I'm also surprised how much I like this album - her first side-B that rivals the parent album imo

It's the first one I've liked more than the parent album. It might be my favourite since Emotion.

idk Dedicated Side B was pretty great. And Emotion Side B was "only" an EP. So it's not like this has happened so much.

i think it's easily better and more interesting than dedicated side b, but i prefer the loneliest time as an album to this which is much more eclectic for better & worse

It took me a long time to come around to Dedicated and Dedicated Side B. Now I really love them in addition to (and as a continuation of) Emotion. Maybe that will happen to me again with Loneliest/Loveliest, but so far I haven't warmed up to either of them.

Oops got the names mixed up. "Shadow" was the one I'd call a highlight, not "So Right". "So Right" has a nice pre-chorus though

no I'm relistening now and "So Right" is a highlight too. Goddamn it everything is a highlight

“shadow” is really great…

it's so great, she and rostam have really got something

i hesitate to call it one of her best songs about having a crush (so i guess just one of her best songs) but "the architecture of this connection is your reflection / it's always following me" is an amazing pop chorus lyric

this album fucking owns

I am very much in love with 'After Last Night'.

I am very much in love with 'After Last Night' - feels like a drum and bass Joe Hisaishi theme for a Ghibli movie.

Same about « After Last Night ». I hadn’t noticed it was a Rostam co-written/produced track. It doesn’t have his usual style.

yeah also surprised it was his track. "Shadow" too. both great songs atypical of his prior productions (that I've heard)

crj and rostam:

warm blood
western wind
go find yourself or whatever
after last night
shadow

they should make a whole album together

Whoa, this album's great! Way better than the last one for me

peace, man at 9:31 31 Jul 23

Love that.

I managed to see her twice in 8 days just recently (opening for Boygenius and then at Osheaga) and she was delightful as always.

This album is so sick

of everybody tellin' me what to do

"after last night" and "anything to be with you" are immediately my favorite ever carly rae songs.

Kollage on Good Morning America. Amazing performance, although it's just a late night song that it seems a little weird in front of the bright "summer concert series" backdrop.

Kollage has become my favourite on the album. That's a great performance of it.

does after last night give anyone else super mario 3 vibes?

listening through the ILM albums of 2023 and Kollage popped up, genuinely surprised that Men I Trust weren't involved with that track, it sounds just like them

Revisiting this today and think I absolutely underrated it. Never noticed this before but "So Nice" seems to recall Daft Punk's "Something About Us" (specifically the bass but also the la-las remind me of the electric guitar (?) that enters at about 1 min. in).
