She’s announced „the loveliest time“ as a side-b that’s not a traditional side-b

Out in July or something? It’s been a bit confusing… haven’t seen any hype literally anywhere at all?

Her announcement post from last week got 80k likes on Instagram, making it her most liked post of the year! So for who she is targeting, there's reasonable hype. Pre-save only went up yesterday and the release is in 2 weeks time. It suggests to me that this album as a "companion project" is going to be intentionally low-key in comparison to the build up of a major studio album release (The Loneliest Time got 11 weeks of pre-orders).

I hope The Loveliest Time will get physicals too, but it might be a case of them coming quite a bit later than the download/streaming release.

To be fair it’s only because I haven’t seen any physical announcement that I said it.

Though the vinyl backlog has reduced significantly I heard? Only around 3 months behind now?

Hopefully in that case we'll have some physicals this year!


Some more info about The Loveliest Time:

The 12-track album will feature the recently released, James Ford-produced single “Shy Boy,” as well as a collection of songs that were born in isolation. For the project, Jepsen enlisted a team of her trusted musical collaborators including John Hill, Patrik Berger, Rostam Batmanglij, Kyle Shearer and more.

I’ve read from people online that it’s leaked in some form and is some of her best work since Emotion so I am EXCITED.

Her Canadian store had the digital album up for pre-order, but when people did order it, it gave them the full album to download straight away! laugh.gif The store changed this pretty quickly, but it was too late, it's out there in full.

I'll wait until official release anyway but I've also been reading some extremely high praise for the album, I'm hyped!!

Oooh good to know. It’s not on Assai yet or either of my German sources (HHV/JPC). I’ll give it a few days and see if it trickles through

First listen ranking:

06.5 Anything to Be With You
09.0 Kamikaze
07.5 After Last Night > I feel like I should like this more than I do, but it's a bit of a mess overall. Who knows, maybe it's a grower! <
06.0 Aeroplanes
08.0 Shy Boy
05.0 Kollage zzz.gif
07.0 Shadow > Something about this reminds me of a more mellow/chilled Pinkpanthress track... just twice as long x <
08.0 Psychedelic Switch > This is a bop. It's quite late 90's/early 00's chilled disco, almost Daft Punk-y kinda sound. I like it! <
07.5 So Right
07.5 Come Over
08.0 Put It To Rest > I think this will be the biggest grower for me <
08.0 Stadium Love
04.0 Weekend Love > Noooo. This started off well and promises a melody but then the melody becomes non-existent. I don't like it </3 I love the pre-chorus so much! Then the chorus is quite literally NOTHING... unless it is the chorus I like and it just has a weird instrumental bit after the chorus? idk <


Overall I find the production throughout to be a bit of a mess & quite clunky. Some songs it works but then others I'm not so sure it gels well enough. But honestly (controversial opinion alert), I've not loved an album of hers since 'EMOTION'... however, I do find some gems amongst her album tracks.

Kamikaze - Put It To Rest - Psychedelic Switch are my favourite 3. It's OK and I'm sure some of you will love the album, but it's not for me and it's overall a bit of a mess (sometimes it works)
