Shortly after announcing The Loveliest Time on social media, the Canadian singer decided to share some more exciting news about this record. Its release date has officially been confirmed, and we’ll get to hear her new album in full on July 28.

In an official statement announcing her new LP, Jepsen said that “after a season of hibernation comes the season of blossoming.” She’s ready to embrace a different energy after getting to know loneliness and discovering the beauty in it on her previous record.

“The loneliest time taught me that growth comes from being planted in darkness. But now the world has opened itself back up again and in turn so have we. It’s time for celebration and for all the lessons we have learned to burst into joyful action,” she wrote on social media.

Since The Loveliest Time serves as the companion piece to her previous album, it will feature songs from sessions for The Loneliest Time, along with the first single “Shy Boy”.

Jepsen’s rendition of “Don’t Speak” remained faithful to the original, but she still managed to leave her own stamp on the song. You can check the cover on YouTube and Spotify below.

“Don’t Speak” was part of No Doubt’s 1995 third studio album Tragic Kingdom, but ended up being released as a single in 1996. The track quickly became popular in both the U.S. and worldwide and is now considered the group’s staple song. It was nominated for Song of the Year at the 1998’s Grammy Award.

Carly Rae Jepsen released Dedicated in May, with the album receiving favorable reviews and reaching No.18 at US Billboard 200 charts and No.26 on UK Albums charts. Jepsen promoted the album with a tour across North America, wrapping up the journey in West Springfield in late September. She is scheduled to tour Asia and Australia by the end of the year.

The festival will be taking place during a two-day weekend between November 30th and December 1st at the Coolangatta Beach in Queensland. List of performers also includes Juice Wrld and Chvrches, and local stars Dean Lewis and Sampa the Great.

Melbourne-based company TEG Dainty is in charge of bringing SandTunes to the masses. Their founder and CEO Paul Dainty is pretty pumped up about this music festival a it’s the event of many firsts.

“There will be many unmissable moments: Travis Scott’s only Australian 2019 performance and debut Australian performances for Logic and Carly Rae. We expect fans will travel from far and wide for this fantastic two-day line-up on the sand at one of Australia’s most spectacular beaches. This is a truly unique event not replicated anywhere else,” said Dainty in a statement.

The young hit-maker discussed her latest LP in a recent interview with SF Weekly and said it was heavily influenced by ’70s disco, especially ABBA, the Bee-Gees, and Donna Summer. Jepsen even admitted she was very close to releasing a disco record, but eventually decided to go in a different direction.

“I had an album I named Disco Sweat that will probably never be released, and shouldn’t… I ended up getting out of a rut and found some songs that were a little ’90s that I wanted to include, a little something that made more sense than this Disco Sweat, that will be buried in my backyard,” Rae Jepsen said.

Since this album never came to be, she decided to release Dedicated instead. It came out on May 17th, and gave us the singles “Now That I Found You”, “No Drug Like Me” and “Too Much”.

In an interview with NME, the pop queen admits that she used to have issues with the track, but has finally come to terms with it being out there.

“At this point? It’s good… it’s neither good or bad, but I see what you’re saying,” she confessed. “It’s just not really an issue anymore. For me personally, I think there was a time when it felt like this big weight to carry. I think the rollercoaster of my ‘Call Me Maybe’ relationship was like: ‘Wow, this is so fantastic!’ And then like: ‘No, this is terrifying!’ And then it got to a place where I was like, how am I going to move past this?

“But I feel like I shed all that fear with moving past ‘Kiss’ into ‘Emotion’ and then ‘Side B’. So by the time I was taking on this album, my relationship with the song was more about it being a fun moment in the [live] set versus something that I needed to feel challenged by.”

So ultimately, it’s OK to be a fan of Carly Rae Jepsen’s gorgeous new album Dedicated while still shamelessly busting out a move to “Call Me Maybe” at pre-drinks.

And here’s the throwback.

Ashley Tisdale – Symptoms

It’s been exactly a decade since this High School Musical veteran dropped her last album, but Tisdale finally came back to the scene in 2019. Symptoms was met with positive reviews, and gave us singles “Voices in My Head” and “Love Me & Let Me Go”.

Dido – Still on My Mind

Dido returned to our lives with her fifth studio album and managed to impress music experts. She may no longer be standing shoulder to shoulder with some of the biggest pop stars working today, but her latest studio effort still did pretty well on independent albums charts.

Carly Rae Jepsen – Dedicated

The jury is still out on this one, but don’t expect Carly Rae Jepsen to give you another “Call Me Maybe”. The days of catchy poppy tunes are long behind her, and her fourth studio album is her most mature one to date.

Her fourth LP, Dedicated will hit the shelves on May 17, but Jepsen’s fans were aware it’s on its way long before the official announcement. Back in February, she dropped a double A-side single featuring songs “Now That I Found You” and “No Drug Like Me”, giving us a closer look at her new sound.

“You got this one opportunity with a single, to sort of to show what you’re doing lately, and I didn’t feel like one song was a proper representation of that. I wanted to sort of show the spectrum. I think that they are very different in nature,” explained Carly Rae Jepsen.

Her “Dedicated” tour is currently limited to the United States alone. It will kick off on June 27 in Anaheim, California, and will consist of 32 shows, unless some more are added in the meantime.
