The Loneliest Time

#3 in our Top 20 Albums of 2022! 

Following 2019's Dedicated era, Carly Rae Jepsen is back and bigger than ever with a diverse & introspective collection of sounds with The Loneliest Time. A masterclass in pop perfection as always, the record sees the Canadian pop princess embracing a variety of musical styles that range from the saccharine bubblegum style which we've come to love, alongside folk-inspired tunes which charter newer territory than what audiences expect.

The end result of The Loneliest Time is one which makes for a phenomenal listen that is cohesive from start to finish. It captures the spectrum of loneliness on both it's joyous, celebratory aspects alongside the quieter and more solemn bits that the theme is associated with. And yet with Jepsen's pop excellence, she manages to strike the balance in crafting a record which is meant to celebrate it in the best possible of ways. Highest of recommendations for this one!
