about

“this is the difficult work: convincing a room full of people to set their sadness aside and, for a night, bring out whatever joy remains underneath — in a world where there is so much grief to be had, leading the people to water and letting them drink from your cupped hands.”
— hanif abdurraqib, “carly rae jepsen loves you back”

I WANT THE SOUND is a quarantine dream born into existence from a joint devotion to two things: carly rae jepsen’s satiating pop artistry, and embodying joy against the odds of destruction and uncertainty.

this queer collaboration between carly sparkly and freddie blooms includes five heartfelt CRJ covers and an interlude that features, with permission and gratitude, hanif abdurraqib’s poem, “carly rae jepsen – “E•MO•TION,” as read by alexis west

carly & freddie met in early quarantine through their mutual love of dr. gameshow, another source of playful creation and joy.

from the bottom of our queer-pop-hearts, we hope this collection makes something swell inside your chest, and maybe even inspire you to bop around a little. in spite of the sun sinking into the horizon sooner each day — without an end in sight to the pandemic — and although there is still no justice, no peace —

may temporal moments of joy serve as a form of resistance to remind us all that we are capable of.

xoxo carly & freddie
