    The Loveliest Time is the most B-sideular ‘album’ experience I’ve found in my paws so far this year: its consistency is gaseous, its stylistic hopscotch is even more erratic than that of its sister album, it is a product of the same sessions, and - most importantly - it contains a large chunk of the weakest Carly Rae Jepsen tracks to date.

    Carly Rae Jepsen has become one of our generation’s most prolific and consistent pop masterminds. Every album is a gem - hard to know whichCarly Rae Jepsen has become one of our generation’s most prolific and consistent pop masterminds. Every album is a gem - hard to know which one surpasses the other (if it even matters - but I think this one takes the cake).
