Carly Rae Jepsen announced her forthcoming project titled “The Loveliest Time” as a complement to her 2022 album “The Loneliest Time”. In a reflective social media post, the pop star alluded to themes of darkness giving way to light, and loneliness transforming into community.
Staring contemplatively at a night sky, Jepsen said she gained self-knowledge from solitude on her last record. Yet where isolation once reigned, joy is ready to burst forth according to the artist. She invites listeners to join in celebration as both herself and the world open up once more.
Jepsen assured fans this new release isn’t merely assorted leftovers, but rather completes the overall narrative. While not technically a b-sides collection, “The Loveliest Time” brings closure to the journey of exploring love, solitude, and identity undertaken on its predecessor. Released on July 28th, this follow-up work promises to resonate deeply for those who connected with 2020’s introspective “The Loneliest Time”.
