What, another CRJ album? DAVE, CALM DOWN.
I refuse. At least so long as friends keep wanting to talk about her ouvre. I actually mentioned in our episode covering her EMOTION album that Anas might come on in the near future. Welp, here we are!
Today's guest is poet and comics writer, Anas Abdulhak. Anas has written the poetry-driven comics Elutheromania, Objects in the Mirror, and Etheres. We actually featured Etheres elsewhere on our Substack with a video + a written Q&A with Anas.
Anas is currently hard at work on the unSEEN/unHEARD Anthology, a comic anthology with stories from new voices from the disability and neurodivergent communities. We mention in the podcast that *maybe* submissions might still be open when these episodes drop, but alas, they did close on June 30th. But that means the work is now underway!

ANAS’ CHOICE: Dedicated by Carly Rae Jepsen is the artist’s 4th Studio Album, after EMOTION, which we covered with screenwriter Mark Palermo in a previous episode. So if you'd like to hear more about her career leading up to DEDICTED, go listen to that ep!
After EMOTION, CRJ wanted to do a "light disco" album, having plunged into ABBA's back catalogue. The album's working title was "Songs to Clean Your House To". But ultimately, she went another direction, wrote 200+ songs, and finally culled it down to the 15-track album we know today.
