New Album- Euphoria?!

This was the tweet:

Goin bck 2 this vortex http://realworldstudios.com/  in sept to commence work on the "euphoria" album w Mr.Osborne.

Am I just getting hysterically excited over nothing... or does this mean album number 5?!

[TRINIST]

This is indeed album number 5! She announced it a few months back. Here is the thread with all we know so far:

It is yet to be seen if this is purely a V project or an expansion on the electronic side project she said she began plotting with Steve the last time she was at Real World, when she mentioned "Moneymaker". Whether "Euphoria" is the name of the album or the project isn't clear, but i'm confident this will be a Vanessa Carlton album.
She mentioned a year ago a new song about a ghost in a lighthouse or something? And then tweeted about "a song idea like a cinema". Then recently she has given teases of new songs "Patience" and "Take it Easy", and mentioned that she has been quite in a productive space with her songwriting.
That pretty much brings us all up to speed!

Oh thanks, that's brilliant! I heard 'Patience' and really enjoyed the new more electronic-y sound. This seems so soon after ROTR considering how long a break she had after Heroes and Thieves (not that I'm complaining at ALL ) Glad to hear she's back at Real World too, although a British tour certainly wouldn't go amiss

SO excited by this!

Looks like she's breaking the tradition of waiting three years between albums.

I think it's a good tradition to break!  However, it could still be awhile, how long did we wait from recording to release for ROTR?!

About a year and a half? But even then it took her a while to build up the courage to go ahead & write 'Rabbits'. This time it's a bit different - she's been writing since she finished 'Rabbits' and already plans to record. It's a very good sign.

I just hope she books a few gigs here too. I'm dying to see her live.

WHOOOPPPPP. I am so excited.

& I thought When Enrique named his album Euphoria he chose an awesome name. Hopefully V can bring back some redemption to the name after the "meh" album haha : )

Euphoria is a great album title! Although, I don't think that's the exact name. Nessa has never been that simple with her tweets. She wouldn't tweet the album name. It's probably code for something. Perhaps "Euphorium" or "Euphorian on the Run"

Be Not Euphoria sounds amazing... hahaha

I think the euphoria she refers to is the drug-induced state of giddiness/happiness. I think it also refers to the sort of trance you get into when you listen to electronic music, with the reverb and multiple layers of sound.

I'm really hoping I like this album. Kind of apprehensive, but hoping for the best.

[Rabbits_on_the_run]

Wow amazing. Vanessa + Steve + Real World Studio - Electronica = Can't be bad in my opinion LOVE LOVE LOVE Take it Easy.. Vanessa gave me my (and her) dream record with Rabbits, it's okay for me if this is gonna sound like Patience even if I wasn't a fan it's still Vanessa. Can't wait.

CAN WE ALL NOW START GUESSING WHICH IS V'S RESERVATION?

I know what you mean about being apprehensive.  I have not been a big fan of the stuff she's been posting (blouse, mike snow, washed out, etc) so I'm just hoping it pans out.  Ultimately, if she's happy I'm happy.  I will buy the album regardless, just like with Jewel's fourth album that I did not care for (0304), I just don't listen to it that much, or ever.  I can't imagine it will be exactly like her inspirations.  She tends to put the V spin on it, so I just have to keep the faith!
