The Loneliest Time is the upcoming sixth studio album by genius Canadian singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen. It is set to be released on October 21, 2022, through 604 Records in Canada, and School Boy and Interscope Records in the United States. The album was preceded by the release of its lead single, "Western Wind", which was followed by "Beach House". In support of the album, Jepsen will embark on the North American leg of The So Nice Tour, set to commence in September 2022. It is the most hyped album of all time.

Background

In May 2020, Jepsen revealed that she's recorded an "entire quarantine album" during the lockdown. Jepsen spoke to The Guardian that she was writing songs over Zoom alongside longtime collaborator Tavish Crowe.[1]

While discussing the album in an interview with Crack Magazine, Jepsen stated she wanted to be less conscious of the decades she's been moving. Instead, she was inspired by various styles, including 80s pop, 70s folk, funk, and disco. Jepsen also explained she wanted to become more self-reflective and analytical of her own behaviours.

"I had the playground of all the eras to jump from, and this was more just writing from the heart, in whatever direction the songs wanted to go, ... It excited me to have those moments of flirtation on the [new] album, but also broaden the spectrum of what the subject of a pop song was allowed to be,"[2]

Promotion

"Western Wind" was released as the lead single on May 6, 2022. The album was made available to pre-order on August 2, 2022.[3]
