Carly Rae Jepsen - Dedicated (May 17, 2019) Album • Page 33

I don't love this album on first listen the way I loved Emotion

*but*

I didn't love The Maine's new record on first listen either and it's an AOTY contender for me now so I'm gonna let it sit and then revisit it. (Don't get me wrong: I enjoyed the first listen. It just didn't stick with me. Also Fever might be my favorite CRJ song for reasons I can't quite quantify.)

 

i definitely think *on first listen* this one is weaker than emotion but the growth potential here is huge, I love it more and more with each listen and have no idea what the ceiling will end up being.

 

Take this album on an evening run into the dark and I dare you not to fall in love with Carly all over again

 

Played it again, what a great album. No ranking still.

 

1.) Want You In My Room
2.) Too Much
3.) Happy Not Knowing
4.) Right Words Wrong Time
5.) Julien

I think? I don't know.

Of CRJ's other stuff (disclaimer: don't know Tug of War):
1.) Run Away With Me
2.) Cut to the Feeling
3.) Tonight I'm Getting Over You
4.) Call Me Maybe (Manhattan Clique remix)
5.) Your Type
6.) Let's Get Lost
7.) All That
8.) Tiny Little Bows
9.) First Time
10.) Cry

A top ten at the moment, anyway. Really looking forward to seeing her again in July.

 

Heavy Lifting is prob one of my top crj songs and is from tug of war

Look at me the way you dooooooooo

 

I don't know why I haven't heard it at all. I'm going to correct that tomorrow.

 

It has a handful of songs that are cute and a handful I don't rly remember tbh

 

Tug of War is fine. There are a handful of tracks worth listening to, but it's easily her weakest album

 

I absolutely adore the title track

 

Love that song

~I will turn to drink, wonder who you're screwing

 

how does she literally look completely different in every era haha, why does she look like a country singer on the Tug Of War cover haha

 

Cause it was her cute singer songwriter era!! Kiss era is still my hair goals.

 

I didn't immediately love this like Emotion...definitely a few tracks I would eliminate but I ADORE Automatically in Love, Happy Not Knowing, Too Much, and Party for One.

 

This album grows on me every single day, I swear. Got high and listened to it last night while walking around my town, took it next level. And @unbornwhiskey it did give me a new appreciation for Automatically In Love ahaha, cause being able to hear every layer of the mix so crisply made that chorus feel unreal.

 

i support getting stoned and listening to dedicated

 

I feel like eventually I need to make a pilgrimage and see her in her homeland

 

I would get a passport just for her

 

tempted to drive the 3 hours to see her in vancouver bc

 

You totally should!

 

I think Emotion benefited in part because it came out of nowhere for me. I saw her on SNL and thought All That was so great, and then forgot about it until i noticed that the album was out. Listened to it on a whim and it was way different than I expected. It felt like a whole era. Dedicated is great, idk if it matches Emotion. So far i don’t think so. But it’s the difference between a 10/10 album and a 9/10 album.

 

oooooooooooooooooooooo ooo
NEVER GUESS WHAT CAME AFTER

 

am I the he in He Needs Me

 

it me
