Carly Rae Jepsen bringing back the 90s with her new album
Quote:
And it seems like some of those new ideas have started flowing for her next record the follow-up her 2012 album Kiss , even taking a couple "left turns" along the way.
"I'm just letting myself experiment just writing to write rather than writing for the record and from that interesting things have happened," Jepsen said. "I've been writing folk songs, so I think you can expect the unexpected for this next record."
Yet, don't expect Jepsen to completely ditch pop for folk since she's "not going to totally change genres," but she will be changing decades.
"If anything, my last record was '80s and what I've been working on lately is very '90s, so I'm kind of just growing up slowly through the ages," Jepsen revealed. "But I was really inspired at the time by things like that and lately I'm all about ['90s television series] "Blossom".
To bring that vision to life, Jepsen has recruited producer Benny Blanco and her "hugest crush," Cyndi Lauper.
"I met her in Osaka, Tokyo at the Summer Sonic festival there and I have the hugest crush on her and I just stalked her side stage and basically asked if I could one day work with her," Jepsen said. "And she said 'Yes."
So Benny Blanco is the producer of: I Kissed A Girl, Tik Tok, Teenage Dream, Moves Like Jagger, Die Young, Diamonds and other #1 hits. Hopefully this will be good!!!
And earlier she worked with Sia, so I'm hoping for some bops! please
It's still gonna be pop she's working with Benny Blanco and Sia after all. But alternative music is popular now so you have to keep with the trends and predict new trends to stay relevant, and that's what I think Carly is doing.
Wait tho. Cyndi? Hmm...maybe it'll be a duet. OMG CARLY HER "TIME AFTER TIME" IS COMING TO GIVE THEM BOTH THEIR SECOND NUMBER ONE SINGLE
Not really excited about the Sia collab, but both Greg Kurstin and Benny Blanco have good songs in their repertoires and of course Carly is involved so I still have plenty of hope this album will slay me, if not the charts
