The one and only Pop Queen, Carly Rae Jepsen, just dropped a new album, for any of you pop fans/Carly Rae stans, this one is definitely worth a listen. She is not just the Call Me Maybe Girl, She is literally one of the best current pop artists out there and she has developed quite the cult following over the years!

New Carly, Arctic Monkeys and T Swift on the same day. Pop heaven.

Such a great album. The 4 singles really painted a weird picture, but it ended up flowing together so well.

Emotion is one of the best albums ever released by a female artist.

The new Monkeys record is pretty much the furthest thing from pop lol

She’s well-loved on the biggest pop music subreddit and she’s critically acclaimed.
Obviously, the average person can name 1 maybe 2 of her songs, but her music is great.
Cancer4TheCure t1_it70erl wrote
"Talking to Yourself" is legitimately one of the most fun, catchy pop songs I've heard in years. Great record, she's done it again.
Hiccup t1_it71hm0 wrote
Absolutely. Emotion is a certified classic. If there was justice in the world, carly rae jepsen would get significantly more airplay. That said, I hear her all the time when I go shopping or to hotels, etc. Eventually radio will catch up.

Nope, that's Lana Del Rey. Funny thing is that Radiohead 'stole' it from The Hollies.

Brave, or epically bad decision making by the label? If it weren't for this post I wouldn't have even known.
That being said, I will be merging Midnights and The Loneliest Time into a playlist for the drive home.
Csherman92 t1_it7r54y wrote
I’m sorry but she is not the pop queen. If anyone is the pop queen, it’s Madonna or Britney Spears.
HyliaSymphonic t1_it7rh3g wrote
She had the date first

That's what I'm saying!! She can be good, but she is FAR from one and only!

7.5/10 for me. One of the reasons I love Carly is her production. There is this kind of little voice distortion in her songs that suits my taste a lot.

Yeah, but she's got Rufus on her side. Who does Taylor have, Lana Del something? Never heard of her.

If you like what you hear, Emotion and Dedicated, and their respective sides B are all pop perfection

CRJ captures feelings—from euphoria to anxiety to disappointment to tranquility—in a way very few musicians can. And the fact that she’s so under-appreciated makes her even more of an icon.
RathVelus t1_it8tjlw wrote
Announced or actually had it first. The labels know more than the public. It would be surprising to learn that they didn’t have some idea Swift was dropping on the same date. Possible though.
oliasawokefromadream t1_it8uwn7 wrote
I think the new Carly Rae album is pop perfection, which is saying something given how amazing her previous two releases were. Her music is like a happiness pill for me.
ChooseCorrectAnswer t1_it8ya5j wrote
New Tegan & Sara album as well. However, and I say this as someone that loved everything from So Jealous (2004) through Sainthood (2009), the new album is pretty forgettable stuff. I have to take a mini-roadtrip later today, and I am looking forward to instead listening to the new Arctic Monkeys and Carly Rae Jepsen albums
night_dude t1_it8yme6 wrote
Like this other guy said, make your way back to Dedicated and particularly Emotion when you're ready. They're classics.
ChooseCorrectAnswer t1_it8yq9n wrote
Yeah, same experience. I saw her perform at Lollapalooza several years ago, and the crowd was almost comically diverse, which was a really cool thing to see. Any person can appreciate the queen of pop. Also, she put on a great show.

Can we talk about how Go Find Yourself or Whatever because it's one of my favorite songs of this year
RathVelus t1_it9b7cu wrote
Can confirm that they don’t jive. But they’re both great. Carly is a great way to rebound from Swift, though.

If you want more 80s pop/alt bangers, check her album Emotion and Emotion Side B! Then check Dedicated and Dedicated Side B for 80s funk/pop vibe!
sephjy t1_it9y1jp wrote
Did you listened to Dedicated and its Side B?
sephjy t1_it9yc90 wrote
Do consider to give Dedicated and its Side B album a listen as well! Also Emotion has its Side B companion that is almost the same quality as the album itself, please check it out as well!

True. Carly is still actually signed to Scooter’s label so maybe she’s
