Actually and literally dying because she won’t come to Australia on tour. I’m STARVING! She's performing at the first edition of the SandTunes festival in Queensland. This doesn’t help me at all but this gives me hope that Melbourne may be a thing omg :gay emergency:

Saw her live over the weekend - she was so fun and cute! Her visual setpieces were simple but well-suited to each song. She has great banter between songs and seems super personable. I haven't listened to Dedicated as much as Kiss or Emotion, but a lot of the new songs translated really well live.
Her closing the show with "Cut To The Feeling" reaffirmed for me what a perfect pop song that is and I'm eternally bitter it wasn't the chart hit it should've been. 53 million Spotify streams show her fans know what's up.

"Cut to the Feeling" was so so clearly the lead track -- a thesis statement -- to the whole Emotion album. Like, I get that she didn't want thematic similarities, and liked the idea of the sax in RAWM starting it off, but COME ON. Cut to the Feeling IS the start of the album! It's so crazy that she made a literal perfect pop song that perfectly served as a perfect thesis/opening to a perfect album and just...cut it.

It's so crazy that she made a literal perfect pop song that perfectly served as a perfect thesis/opening to a perfect album and just...cut it. I agree with all of this, but I’ve made my peace with CTTF being released two years after the album. Some of the same things that qualify it to be a perfect opener make it a great closer of the whole era. Specifically that bridge! “Take me to Emotion... I want to go all the way...” It was everything perfect about the Emotion album, lyrics, production, and vocals wise, wrapped up in a perfect bow. But why I am forever in gratitude to CTTF is that it cemented Carly’s gay icon status and finally got her another “hit” after Call Me Maybe. I actually bought “Kiss” the album and listened to every single song all through fall 2012 and beyond. It always make me laugh when critics mention that it failed to connect. It connected with me, bitches! Everyone dismissed me when I said Carly was more than CMM. Anyway, Emotion came along in 2015 and it took the whole year for my friends to finally believe me that the album was incredible and for adults, listen, and slowly come to me as though they were coming out of the closet, whisper “I love Carly too.” Side B in 2016 really turned the tide critically, as it showed the rave Emotion reviews weren’t a fluke. And then Cut To The Feeling came along, and I finally, FINALLY, heard a Carly song out in public that people danced, responded to, and knew. It was largely contained to online and gay male communities, but it really made me happy and was the culmination and validation of 5 years of fandom for Carly. And in 2019, watching Dedicated, it’s tour, and critical and fan response has been the icing on the cake!! :) What an e•mo•tional journey it has been.

"Cut to the Feeling" and "Run Away With Me" are gems and I think time will be kind to both. Sorta like how "Dancing on My Own" by Robyn is lowkey iconic in spite of missing most charts.

Did we all collectively sleep on “OMG” with Gryffin? It’s fantastic. A very worthy bop to add to her discography.

I feel like it combines Carly’s songwriting, themes, and euphoria so well while adding Gryffins EDM-lite production. It’s beautiful! I also think it has caught the attention of casual Carly fans. Her monthly listeners went up over 2 million since the song dropped. And I see my boyfriend and my best friends (who don’t ever look for Carly) listening on the Spotify app on my work computer haha.

Also, the continuity of the guy from NTIFY being the love interest made me feel so happy and hopeful, haha. Loved that she jumped on top of him at the end - I was like, she better get some action after saying she wants to do bad things to him!

All I can find on a Google search is her saying she wants to release a Side B. Wanting to and actually doing so are two totally different things, especially in the music industry. I wouldn't get my hopes up until we actually get confirmation that it's indeed coming.
