Carly Rae Jepsen has confirmed the release date for her upcoming b-sides album. ‘The Loveliest Time’ will arrive on 28th July.
It will be a quick follow-up to ‘The Loneliest Time’, which she released in October 2022.
Writing in an Instagram post when she announced the record, she said: “It’s been the loneliest time, it’s been the loveliest time.
“After a season of hibernation comes the season of blossoming. I got to know loneliness and discover the beauty in it. The loneliest time taught me that growth comes from being planted in darkness.

“At this point you know me so well that I won’t even tease about a b sides. It’s almost disrespectful because you know that it’s coming. And in fact this is the time to announce that it’s here. It’s done and a month from now The Loveliest Time will be all yours. I can’t really call it a b sides as if these were cast off ideas — it’s the completed set to a body of work that taught me so much about love and loneliness and myself.”
