    I really hope her next album sounds different from what Dedicated and the side B sounds like

    I kind of wished she had another listening session to pick out another album of songs instead of picking ones that sound like “Let’s be friends”

    I don't get what's she's trying to do with these "Side B" releases. It just the same songs as the original record.

    Dedicated Side B is just as heartwarming, fun, and catchy -- in other words, more of what Carly Rae Jepsen fans have come to know and love.

    The dozen songs that comprise Dedicated Side B, all leftovers from the original recording sessions, are less musically adventurous than those particular tracks, but they double down on pillow talk, lending the album a uniformity that its predecessor lacked.

    While Jepsen makes B-sides markedly better than other artists’ A-sides, she can still falter; some points feel like kissing a crush for the first time and missing the spark.
