Carly Rae Jepsen, “The Loneliest Time” (Interscope Records) Dating in the 21st century might be a lonely time, but Carly Rae Jepsen has found a way to make an album around those experiences that’s as bright and hopeful as it is grounded. From the euphoric “Sideways” to the heartbreak of “Go Find Yourself or Whatever,” on her sixth studio album, “The Loneliest Time,” the 36-year-old makes one thing clear: It’s rough out there in the dating world. While the themes of “The Loneliest Time” are timeless, there’s a specificity to the experiences that reflect the modern age.
