Carly Rae Jepsen on embracing loneliness, joining a dating app & her relationship with Call Me Maybe

Ойын-сауық

Carly Rae Jepsen may be a huge pop star, but like many of us, she spent a lot of time alone over the last couple years - and she’s the first to admit that it wasn’t always easy. She was separated from her family, mourning the death of someone close to her and dealing with the fear a lot of us felt during the pandemic. But on the flipside of all that, she used that time to explore and reflect on what it means to be lonely. Through that exploration she created her latest album, The Loneliest Time. Jepsen sat down with Tom Power to tell us more about it.

    She's incredibly underrated. I always felt that she sounds like what Taylor only dreams of sounding like on her pop albums. Emotion, Dedicated and The Loneliest Time are all modern classics. The latter suffered the ill-luck of being released the same day as Midnights but I genuinely think that The Loneliest Time is the best pop album I've heard this year.

    Her whole insight about connecting with others through song, and not just thinking of herself or her own experiences in writing... Gosh I love her humility! Rarely do we encounter an artist who INTENDS to relate to her audience and includes them in her music. I've always thought CRJ's music has this timeless universality to them, that her persona/voice takes a step back and just beckons you to join and sing along - that you may be even more important than her being just confessional. Relatability in music is not a weakness.

And watching this interview now...the first time I've ever seen an interview with her, after just a few minutes in, she really reminds me of Aurora in a lot of ways. The total freedom, and intelligence, and eccentricity, and...kindness. There's definitely a very cool similarity I see. I'm glad I finally gave her stuff a chance....she's the best. :}
