Music critic Anthony Fantano speaks to Variety after being slammed by Halsey:
“We’re talking about a two-year-old review here where I’ve remained mostly silent on the reception of the review, despite the fact that Halsey and her fans, for the duration of that time, have pushed the narrative that I disliked the album — or said in my assessment of the album that there was a ‘self-centeredness’ about it — because she was sick. That I specifically attacked this album and tore it apart because there’s some cartoonishly evil characteristic about me that somehow just singled this album out because of who she is or the illness that she suffered during that time in her life that inspired the record, which couldn’t be further from the truth... I’m not the devil himself for not enjoying this album. On top of that, it has nothing to do with Halsey being a woman. There are countless women whose projects I’ve championed over the years. I have no problem with enjoying and supporting the work of women, especially women who address serious issues in their work."

Day and Night
Exploring and dancing through two distinctly different landscapes. Day being more open-eyed, organic and earthbound and Night being more escapist and even intense at times.

Variety describes the two sides of @CarlyRaeJepsen's new double album 'Day and Night':
— "The album will be divided into two sections. 'Day' is "organic and raw, with live instrumentation and hints of '70s-inspired psychedelic pop," while 'Night' is "exploratory and intense, shifting into a sleek, synth-driven world of dance pop."
