Lately, roughly a year or so after the drop of a new album, the stars align and Carly Rae Jepsen is gracing us with the b-sides from that album. It’s that magical time again, almost a year after The Loneliest Time, and Carly has released The Loveliest Time. This is her third time dropping a…
Charley’s Timebombs EP is a full-on pop assault. Charley’s the most Top 40 friendly singer that I’ve heard in a while that isn’t getting radio play. I assume it’s hard to break into the US radio market, and even more so, for an Australian artist. Charley’s new EP has taken a page from the Pop…
When I heard Carly Rae Jepsen was coming out with a new, more personal album called The Loneliest Time, I thought she might be a darker and brooding Carly this time around. Nothing says distraught like the album cover; Carly wearing tulle while pensively looking over some fake pears wrapped in pearls and dead flowers…
In my gay opinion, Carly Rae Jepsen no longer has the market cornered on feel-good pop music, let me introduce you to Genes. I dare you to listen to her latest EP, Super Single, and not find yourself breaking out in a smile, bobbing your head to the beat or pulling out your finger guns…
When recently introduced to ENTITY’s Visions In Black EP, her sound was described as “queer goth electro/pop” so I expected loud, ear-bleeding, musical angst. Instead I met Carly Rae Jepsen’s evil twin sister from another mother. ENTITY’s sound is darker and harder than Carly’s but her pop stylings worked their way into my brain the…
This year many of my favorite performers decided that less is more when it comes to musical gift giving, there were no holiday albums (closest was a four-track EP from Tori Amos) to be had, just singles. Not a lot of music but a fair share of divas; quality over quantity, I guess. Tori Amos‘…
What better way to wake up on a day off than to find Carly Rae Jepsen dropped a surprise album, a Side B to her 2019 album Dedicated. She’s no stranger to bringing her unreleased tracks to light as B Sides, she did the same with her 2016 Side B album to her Emotion album…
In my gay opinion, Carly Rae Jepsen’s new album Dedicated is like cotton candy. It’s colorful, light and sweet with Carly Rae singing in her sugary voice without over-producing. The music is pure pop with fun house-like lyrics that are repetitive and able to be sung along to with just a few listens. Although she…
Just over a year ago Carly Rae Jepsen released her Emotion album which I loved and reviewed in an earlier post. Recently she released Emotion Side B which are songs that didn’t make the cut the first time. The original album had 12 tracks and there are deluxe editions with 15 and 17 tracks available…
The only album reviews I read are those for artists I haven’t heard of before in order to get an idea of their sound and who they’re musically compared to. It was unusual for me to read the early reviews for Carly Rae Jepsen’s new album Emotion. I have been waiting for this album for…
