Carly Rae Jepsen on embracing loneliness, joining a dating app & her relationship with Call Me Maybe

- Carly Rae Jepsen may be a huge pop star, but like many of us, she spent a lot of time alone over the last couple years - and she’s the first to admit that it wasn’t always easy. She was separated from her family, mourning the death of someone close to her and dealing with the fear a lot of us felt during the pandemic. But on the flipside of all that, she used that time to explore and reflect on what it means to be lonely. Through that exploration she created her latest album, The Loneliest Time. Jepsen sat down with Tom Power to tell us more about it.

Ridiculously good album, Carly's so underrated man. A pop legend.
_Religiously_ good album!
She's a woman
More like a one-hit-wonder
Did you just assume their gender?
THIS. Super underrated Emotion is probably my favorite album of hers and she’s a great performer too!
I literally have goosebumps listening to her talk about pop music and her intentions with is. She is a TREASURE
Her voice is like a shot of dopamine and serotonin for me 🥺
The vocal fry didn't grate like fingernails on a blackboard?
@@SamStone1964 i know it! ugh, worst case of it ive ever heard.
I can’t stand the vocal fry, stopped the video after three minutes.
Can't relate. @@Brinta3
@@Brinta3 literally the same .. kinda has that typical californian influencer voice
This interviewer is so damn skilled. Guiding the conversation without interrupting her, I feel like he truly let her be herself and feel good about her work.
Imagine seeing Carly on a dating app
I was thinking the same thing
"Hey I just met you"
I'm not sorry 😂
I'll bet most people just thought it was a fake profile
@Sgr A* I am a big fan of yours - keep doing your thing
Carly Rae Jepsen is for the people
This album completely changed my creative workflow. Questioning if the content being made is “for yourself”, or “for others”, is an absolute game changer. Channeling from the heart of self, and getting out of the way. This is meaningful life lessons.
She's incredibly underrated. I always felt that she sounds like what Taylor only dreams of sounding like on her pop albums. Emotion, Dedicated and The Loneliest Time are all modern classics. The latter suffered the ill-luck of being released the same day as Midnights but I genuinely think that The Loneliest Time is the best pop album I've heard this year.
Spot on
For fucking real. carly Rae did drop the better album
Never understood the point of pitting other artists against each other...they all have their unique sounds and strenghts🤷♂️
@@andrespalacios1909 Let's put it this way. I love both artists for different reasons, but when I see them in a similar genre, I find Carly's music far better and often addictive. Taylor's still incredible on albums like Folklore though. Can't imagine Carly pulling something like that off. But I could be wrong!
On repeat since came out. She topped herself in quality, this is hands down her best album.
She is so freaking humble for how talented she is.
Painfully underrated artist. I love the point about being an album artist and not a single artist. I can play one of her albums from beginning to end and enjoy every song.
Her whole insight about connecting with others through song, and not just thinking of herself or her own experiences in writing... Gosh I love her humility! Rarely do we encounter an artist who INTENDS to relate to her audience and includes them in her music.
I've always thought CRJ's music has this timeless universality to them, that her persona/voice takes a step back and just beckons you to join and sing along - that you may be even more important than her being just confessional.
Relatability in music is not a weakness.
Her explaining the “Du du du du” in Bends to disassociate makes sense now and kinda wild😢
Absolute banger of an album. Been a Carly fan for a long time and this album hits so many different emotions for me. It's just so damn good. 👍
The whole album it’s amazing! My favorites bens, surrender my heart, no thinking over the weekend, sideways, go find yourself or whatever I just love her so much!
The albums SO DAMN GOOD
Never minded her music but somehow landed on this video and she’s more philosophical than I expected. Cool.
She is a true pop genius and just seems like the most genuine person! This album is so special - thank you Carly!
Carly is truly the definition of pop music🌈
always know there's something more to her. just to hear her talk so openly about being lonely. oh how i couldn't relate more to her songs than i already do. admire this woman so much
She's such a lovely person. I love that she is so deliberate with the songs that she does release and does her listening circles and see what connects. Those extra steps make all the difference. And she's just freaking adorable! When she was talking about her songs and she asks "is that for me?" Lol so cute
She seems really lovely.
This album is about to become my personality for a whole year.
Finally had the chance to listen to the entire album today from beginning to end. Another stellar record from Carly. She's such an underrated artist. I hope this album gets the proper visibility, attention, and popularity it deserves.
It's so cool to hear her explaining her creation process and the amount of steps she goes through to realease an album - from thinking of a song, writing it down, playing it to people to see if it meets her criteria of "relatable"... it's so amazing how dedicated she is, and IMO it really pays off, cause she never miss 💙 every song is a blast!
This lady just keeps putting out incredible, fresh, thoughtful, emotion-full music.. This album is growing on me with every listen. Thank you Carly for doing what you doing!
she seems like the sweetest person in the world.
I love this woman sm. SUCH a treasure of an artist
So earthy, grounded, humble and articulate. Refreshing!
I love that each album has its own vibe and feels different, yet they are all undeniably a CRJ album.
We need MORE of this in our world. Such a beautiful human being and an awesome album. Wishing you nothing but the absolute best in the future!!
She never misses and this new album is another incredible piece of work. Great interview! Also got to see her in SLC last week. Third time seeing her live! Her new show is amazing. I’m curious what music from Loneliest Time she might add to it. When I saw her she did all of the pre release singles as well as Go Find Yourself or Whatever (amazing to hear it for the first time live)
now this is an interview, so calming, fun and informative
She’s so well spoken and wise wow no wonder why she makes great songs
An awesome interview for a perfect album!
She is such a wonderful artist 💛
Great interview! The new album is amazing and heartfelt 💗
great interview, and the new album was such a treat!
Carly is so humble and genuine. Not having the big popstar ego. ❤
Love carly so much!!! shes a pop genius and her songs bring me so much joy and feeling😭💗💗
This album is guiding, supporting, comforting and pushing me, through my own transformation. So grateful for her courage to share so authentically 🔥 🙏
Love CRJ so much. She and her band put on such fun and high quality live performances too.
Carly Rae Jepsen is a gem and her music is catchy and timeless ... a classic❤
she is so insightful and thoughtful about the creative process. such a great listen
I cannot believe it took me this long to realize how fascinating and creative she is.
I've only recently finally taken a deep dive into her entire output...and it's all so good....
And watching this interview now...the first time I've ever seen an interview with her, after just a few minutes in, she really reminds me of Aurora in a lot of ways. The total freedom, and intelligence, and eccentricity, and...kindness. There's definitely a very cool similarity I see. I'm glad I finally gave her stuff a chance....she's the best. :}
excellent interview!!! She's so down to earth and kind!
This is such a fantastic album. Some cheeky Canadian humour in there from Beach House and The Loneliest Time, great bops all the way through but also an album you can let play from top to bottom and enjoy it the whole time
SHE IS A QUEEN!!! WE LOVE HER
Great interview! It's amazing what happens when people truly care and connect. A fan all the way from Brazil.
Her album is gold, really really good! More people should listen to it;)
Call Me Maybe, gem from the past, evokes a great era.
This is such a good interview. I find myself revisiting this often.
This was a good interview. Carly is a sweet woman who really is down to earth. She is the kind of person who would be fun to share insights with her.
Omg, I’ve always liked CRJ but I just fell IN LOVE! Wow. What an incredibly beautiful soul. I love how present she is for this interview and how thoughtful she is with every word. 🖤
Just saw her at Glastonbury UK. What a joyful, happy & uplifting experience. A truly beautiful lady spreading happiness to sad old Brits.❤️❤️❤️
Shes down to earth. Always wish for her happiness❤
Unfathomable that she was lonely! She is so beautiful and she sings & performs so well!
to say nothing of Carly's eloquence, this was an all-around lovely conversation to listen to. great work, great questions! thank you
Asireion
I barely listen to other artists that are not on my stan list. I am a big Lady Gaga fan. And this one TIKTOK video explaining why Her Emotions album IS THE BEST ALBUM of 2015, I, immediately streamed it. Girllll, I CANNOT STOP LISTENING TO IT. HUHU. ALL OF HER ALBUMS! I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT SHE'S MY TOP 2 ARTIST FROM NOW ON. LOVE HER SO MUCHHH
Carly you so so good, greatest pop artists of this era. TLT is a treasure ❤️❤️❤️❤️
She has a very beautiful voice and soul.
I adore this lady. Awesome interview, CBC.
I love listening to her talk - the words, her sweetness, and that delicious crunchy voice!
What a fantastic interview. This guy should have a national tv show
Carly is amazing, not only is she a singer and a star. She’s also like everyone else, she is no different to the society we live in with the pandemic + recession.
Her new album is SUPER BOP⚡️⚡️⚡️
The album was excellent. I must have listened to it through at least three or four times already.
I love her latest album The Lonliest time compared to Taylor's Midnight.
Incredible work you did there talking with her, so chill, very good interview. This album is a work of art i feel very lucky to live in your age, miss Rae Jepsen, you are a freaking diamond
💎❤
Western Wind is my favorite song she has written. It's perfect.
love this woman so much
I wish I had words left to express ,how special she has made my life
Love her authenticity
Love Carly and love the album....great interview too. Tom asks great questions
Her new album is SOO good!! ❤❤❤ solid!
Great interview! And the album is amazing! Also, does anyone know where her shirt is from? I love it
carly rae my queen i love her so much so intelligent so talented so well spoken truly one of a kind
She's the closest to an actual smart person making music which isn't just about hating men or plain depression and hopelessness, it's nice
Carly is very highly rated I don't know why people keep calling her underrated
Judging by this comment section she has very nice and appreciative fans. 👌
because it's utterly deserved. she's uber talented and loveable
Just when I thought I couldn't love CRJ any more... Thanks for this interview!
Bro WHAT, ive heard her music over the years, and theyre catchy, but just not my style; i listen to the most random mix of stuff.
But holy hell, ive never actually seen her as a person, and she is drop dead gorgeous. Im actually taken aback, moved. Wow.
You are such a good interviewer!
omg she doesnt age, just watched a interview of her from 11 years ago and she looks (if its even possible) even better and younger, totally stunning
Lol yes Tom more handsome now. Good vibes, love how she talks about intention in her music, is it connect/touch the audience? Solid album
She’s so consistently good and interesting.
The explanation of beach house has really made me like it more, I wouldnt have guessed that
This Queen just feeds us.
I hope Carly finds someone she can grow old with. She seems like such a genuinely nice person!
I want her to be with me.
@@jerelminter lol okay
She's got boyfriend y'all, it's the beach house guy towards the end with the phone call. That's her actual bf
Great interview!
I listen to metal. Death metal. Technical Death metal. I am not ashamed to blare Carly Rae Jepsen in my car with the windows down. The list of things that keep me up at night, what people think of me doesn't even make that list. Love her and her music makes me feel good.
Carly seems like she'd be fun to just hang out with and talk for hours about literally anything.
she is such an angel
Myheart,my soul,my everything !
I completely agree with her when she said loneliness is such fascinating thing because I feel the same way. It has a whole spectrum that can mean and look different to everyone, but ultimately, it does cause extreme reactions from us that pushes us towards growth. This album perfectly reflected that, especially as she starts the album with Surrender My Heart. It's so nice to hear about the process of coming up with the album's theme, and I can't help but feel like her maturity as an artist is also being reflected in album! And her going out of her way to evaluate whether her songs resonate and connects to other people is how I knew she's such a wonderful person.
Amazing Album 👍🏻🎧🎵❤️
I found when I hesitate is when I don't win as easily. In a relationship it isn't about winning. Though I feel as if I won upon meeting you.
No hesitation.
If you do hesitate get there instantaneously.
Bingo!
Thank you.
Best album ❤
Her top was mesmerizing. Well played Carly.
being a middle aged saddo indie geek I'd dismissed Carly Rae as a pop phenomenon years ago after hearing Call me maybe (obviously a fantastic tune, but yeah throwaway pop! ;0). After hearing The loneliest time single on Uk Radio last year I absolutely fell in love with it because it's throwaway pop that you just can't throwaway! It led me to western wind, beach house and surrender my heart online so then i had to buy the album. It's clear that Carly puts a whole heap of time effort and expertise into crafting these songs and the good news is that there's a whole back catalogue to work my way through now so thank you Carly :0) looking forward to being a middle aged, saddo quality pop geek!!
