It's not confirmed by Carly yet, but apparently her upcoming album is called 'The Loneliest Time' and is set for a release date of 21st October! Until then I'll keep the thread title as Forthcoming / TBA. Rumoured tracks for the album include: Bends Bad Thing Twice Beach House Keep Away Sideways The Loneliest Time Far Away Go Find Yourself or Whatever Anxious So Nice No Thinking Over the Weekend + of course the single 'Western Wind'. The next single is supposedly coming on 12th August - 'Beach House'. She subtly teased the existence of this song back in January! https://www.instagram.com/p/CZNHDVuPCPc |

I did wonder if anything was coming soon, it's been so long since 'Western Wind' and it all seemed to go a bit quiet since then!
Yay. |

QUOTE(Jessie Where @ Aug 2 2022, 12:00 PM)  Intrigued by that parental advisory sticker! It's only the first track, which is labelled as explicit.Anyway, the album is going to have 16 songs ("Beach House" is track #6 and "Western Wind" is track #8) and the last three are labelled as bonus tracks. Also, there's bundles available in her store too. |

Hyped!
 it seemed like Carly stopped acknowledging Western Wind's existence almost immediately after its release (plus apparently didn't perform it at a few recent live shows 💀) so I was starting to wonder if anything was coming!Wasn't totally sold on the cover at first but I think it'd be a massive serve textless (and I think I prefer this alt cover someone posted on ATRL, either way loving the still life/renaissance painting vibe of it). The promise of explicit CRJ is also very interesting! |

^ Apparently this short clip is taken from the title track The Loneliest Time.  Very excited for this, I’ll preorder some formats very soon! I’m liking the artwork, an autumnal vibe and a little bit quirky.Wondering if the explicit track will be the recently leaked song Surrender My Heart? “Her most introspective body of work to date, The Loneliest Time expands on the emotionally potent songwriting and effervescent sound that Jepsen has showcased on past work like 2015’s critically lauded and culture-shaping E*MO*TION. In bringing her new album to life, Jepsen worked with collaborators Tavish Crowe, Rostam Batmanglij (who helmed production on The Loneliest Time’s acclaimed lead single “Western Wind”), Bullion, Captain Cuts, John Hill, Kyle Shearer, and Alex Hope among others.” |

I’ve got her other albums but wasn’t impressed with the first song so will hold off preordering this until I’ve heard the other tracks.

“Expect the unexpected. I contain multitudes,” Jepsen says. She’s tired of the constraints she feels as an artist, especially as a woman in pop, to stay in her lane. On one Loneliest Time track, a western-tinged torch song, Jepsen sounds flayed, her voice tender and exposed over a scaled-back guitar. Elsewhere, she delivers nostalgic, synth-forward bops ripe for twirling under a disco ball. She is a fierce defender of following your muse, no matter where it takes you. “I don't want to have to feel like I am one thing, and I don't want my album to feel that way, either. So I think I've shut off this idea of cohesiveness. I'm the thread,” she says, her arms swimming up, then opening sideways, as if to encompass the universe.

there's a review out there that says Western Wind is not the direction of the album and says the majority of it sounds like Kiss meets Emotion.
Though the same reviewer contradicts themselves and refers to Rufus as a Shrek 2 singer. |

A notoriously prolific writer who - by her own admission - creates “all the time” simply to “survive life”, Carly began reaching out to potential producers and co-writers to arrange sessions, including regular collaborators John Hill (Sigrid, Muna), Patrik Berger (Robyn), Captain Cuts (Marina, Allie X) and Rostam Batmanglij (Vampire Weekend, Haim). It was with the latter that she created ‘Western Wind’, the album’s utterly gorgeous yet surprisingly subtle lead single. A love story set in California and played out among feather-light brush work, shimmering keys, sonorous guitar and beautifully breezy vocal harmonies, it received its live debut at Coachella.
Back at the peak of the pandemic, Carly began dipping her toe into remote collaborations, actively seeking out fresh voices to work with. Foremost amongst these was Bullion, aka British songwriter-producer Nathan Jenkins, who she discovered via playlists shared by friends. “I think there were maybe six different times in a row where one of Bullion's tracks would come on, and I was like, ‘Who is this?!’” she raves with the excitement of a true fan. “I loved that the chords he landed on were always surprising. Like, whenever I thought he was resolving a melody, it would instantly evolve into a completely different section of the song. And though I'm from this pop world and he’s more indie-leaning, it worked.” This idea of blurring - or simply doing away with - genre boundaries proved key when it came to whittling down a final tracklisting from a pool of more than 100 songs. Rather than settling on a singular sonic palette, Carly looked to lyrical content to create a sense of cohesion. Settling on songs that explored perspectives on loneliness or that originally stemmed from contemplations on the subject, it’s a theme further developed in the Renaissance-inspired album art, which sees her looking quizzically over one shoulder in a nod to Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring. And by liberating it from any stylistic constraints, ‘The Loneliest Time’ arrives as by far her most wide-ranging record musically, taking in minimal sophisti-pop and Laurel Canyon-inspired cuts as well as shimmering funk, string-flecked disco and a glorious, ‘80s-inspired synth-pop track that more than matches any of ‘E•MO•TION’’s big singles for impact. That ‘80s influence is no coincidence, it transpires: touch points for the record included Kate Bush, Stevie Nicks and her eternal muse Cyndi Lauper, enjoyed alongside “palate cleansers” like Billie Holiday. “There's so much to learn from ‘80s pop, and the way it really gets to the heart of things,” she enthuses. “I think we really gravitate to the emotion in that era because essentially we're all in our feelings, even though we all look for different ways of hiding it.” Reflecting on the record’s eclecticism, she continues: “I thought a lot about what I wanted from this album, probably more than I ever have before. Having learned some things in my own personal life, I wanted to document that growth while looking for the thing that can connect [with fans], so that it's not just a journal entry of my intense feelings, but feelings that can be universal. “Musically I was really trying to fight this idea that these artists are supposed to deliver one type of music. As humans we're a spectrum of different things and I want to be able to play that. Like, women can have silliness and depth, and we can be sexy one moment and then be really serious the next. So why should I have to choose? With these songs I didn’t. And the result is I’m really excited about the colours of these songs, because they’re different to anything I’ve ever done before.” https://diymag.com/2022/09/12/carly-rae-jep...-2022-interview I’m so excited for this
