Carly Rae Jepsen recorded a disco album that will “probably never be released”
It’s called Disco Sweat, and she says she’s burying it in her backyard.
In the days leading up to the eventual release of her latest album Dedicated, Carly Rae Jepsen had hinted that the album would be disco-oriented. The actual album, for the most part, ended up not sounding very disco-y at all, and now, in a new interview with SFWeekly, Jepsen explains why: “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. I think that came from going to Sweden and really digging into some ABBA stuff. Then exploring the ’70s. I did ’80s last time, maybe I’ll do this."
"But it was never that simple," Jepsen continues. "I think there are songs on the new album that achieved kinda what I was envisaging, I think ‘Julien’ is a good example of that. 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.” So, who's got a shovel?
