ALBUM OF THE WEEK: CARLY RAE JEPSEN – ‘DEDICATED SIDE B’

Yes, there’s a new album from The 1975 album out today which is pretty good. The Gunna album is also expected to do big things. In these dark and difficult times, what could be more useful than a surprise album drop from pop saviour Carly Rae Jepsen?

These are leftover songs which did not make Carly’s 2019 album ‘Dedicated’. A similar thing happened with ‘E-mo-tion’ and its sister release ‘E-mo-tion Side B’. Some of the songs from that project of off-cuts and rejects went on to be fan favourites. Anyone who attended her sold out show at Brixton Academy in February will confirm that ‘Cry‘ and ‘Store’ prompted a bigger response than some of her hit singles.

A lot of this is Carly-by-numbers but that’s probably just what we need right now – unashamedly massive, joyous pop hooks.
