![]() There was a lot of intention behind who you are working with, it was a little bit more selective for that reason. So I wasn’t getting to go and do sessions every day, I was doing a lot of it via Zoom, or I was doing week sessions where we would all get tested first, and then we were committed to being in these projects. I think it was probably close to 100 again, because that’s the way that I am. How many songs did you write for this album, and what was the process of whittling those down into “The Loveliest Time”? ![]() It’s a well-known fact that you often write hundreds of songs for your projects. It was already quite a weighted thing to call something like “The Loneliest Time,” but “The Loneliest Time Side B” is just - I just couldn’t do it. Also, “The Loneliest Time Side B” just sounds like a downer. It felt more like a complete set of work versus just like a B-sides, where it was like these cast-off ideas. ![]() I knew by this time, I made “The Loneliest Time,” that “The Loveliest Time” was coming. It feels like I’ve done my first offering - now this one’s more like a place to get wild and freaky. The B-sides territory is this expansive world where I can play in all directions. Since doing this B-sides offering, from “Emotion” to “Dedicated” to now, I really leaned into it being one of the most exciting processes for me. This is your first album of B-sides that doesn’t have “Side B” in its name - it’s not “The Loneliest Time Side B” it’s “The Loveliest Time.” What went into that decision? Created by Jepsen in collaboration with producers such as John Hill, Patrik Berger, Rostam Batmanglij, Kyle Shearer and more, “The Loveliest Time” features tracks that range from ethereal “Aeroplanes” to the danceable “Kamikaze” to seductive number “So Right.” Ahead of the album’s release on July 28, Variety spoke with Jepsen about the process of conceptualizing, writing and recording “The Loneliest Time.”
