Carly Rae Jepsen Surprise Releases New Album Dedicated Side B

Canadian singer/songwriter and actress Carly Rae Jepsen has surprise released a new album, Dedicated Side B, an extension of her 2019 album Dedicated. This album marks Jepsen’s fifth studio album since the release of her first album, Tug of War, in 2008.

Jespen took to Twitter to make the announcement to her fans, writing “I hope it makes yah dance your pants off.” The singer went on to write, “I owe yah one…or like two albums turns out. ;)”

The release of Dedication Side B marks the second time Jepsen has released a Side B to one of her albums. A year after releasing her 2015 work Emotion, she released the nine-song EP Emotion: Side B. The singer is known for writing hundreds of songs throughout her recording process, and the Side B projects offer up a taste of the tunes that didn’t make the final cut.

Last year Jepsen commented on the release of Dedicated and its original intent for the album to be disco oriented, commenting, I” had an album I named Disco Sweat that will probably never be released, and shouldn’t. I started off with a very strong intention to make an understated disco, living room dance party thing.” Jepsen continued, “But it was never that simple. 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.”

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
