The Loveliest Time is the follow-up to 2022's The Loneliest Time, which continues in Jepsen's tradition of coupled releases-but this time they're not so much B-sides as they are a second chapter. While The Loneliest Time was born from a period of isolation and self discovery, The Loveliest Time is a celebration of that growth. Featuring shimmering lead single Shy Boy, The Loveliest Time is Jepsen at her most experimental and intimate to date.
