    mixture of old-school disco, shimmering synth-pop and modern indie-pop. Very happy and playful songs about being lonely, finding joy in short relationships, then breaking up again, coming back to your ex.

    Salva, pero ni cerca de hacerle sombra a Emotion, que un clip de 15 segundos se haya hecho viral en Tik Tok no significa que sea una obra maestra.

    Unfortunately this album doesn´t quite achieve the ambicious production it tries to release. Despite some good songs that could easily become hits like "Surrender My Heart" and "Talking To Yourself", the album lacks longetivity and substance.

    Though there are bright spots of disco bliss, for the most part, The Loneliest Time is a rather reflective project. Its creation took place at one of the most uncertain periods of our recent history, and that uncertainty made Jepsen’s songwriting introspective. ... Deep questions aren’t answered on the record, but her struggles make for some beautiful music.

    The album’s only real mishap is the lack of sonic cohesion between energizing jams and moments of quiet clarity, but each song is able to hold its own as a solid pop offering.

    Jepsen’s wide range of diverse influences is still on display, but she’s the most mature and refined she has ever sounded.
