Album of the Week: Carly Rae Jepson – The Loveliest Time

New Zealand Net Radio plays a song from our irregularly updated #albumoftheweek every hour from 9am to 12pm. Listen in @tunein at http://tun.in/sfAtE or on the web player.

As is her want, Carly Rae Jepson has followed up 2022’s The Loneliest Time with this companion piece. It is a beautiful collection of squeaky clean synth pop on infatuation and desire. Sometimes you just need that, and we’ll be delivering it up every morning this week each hour. Although these songs didn’t make it to last year’s album, we think they’re still a fantastic collection of bangers. Slant said it well: “Albums like The Loveliest Time are deliberately fragmentary, meant to fill in the pieces of her discography, and in that sense, this one is a wild success.
