It’s what we turn on when we’re dancing with friends, driving down the highway at night or just feeling heartbroken. But pop music is supposed to be simple and fun. The song lyrics focus on love and loss, which is pretty well-worn territory in the music world.

While Emotion is great, it would be silly of me to pretend like this album is earth-shattering. For me, this creates a whole new level of connection to the album. Yes, her songs may be about specific people and events, but when I hear this album I hear songs about my life from my perspective. In the case of Carly Rae Jepsen, her life isn’t as highly publicized as her pop-cohorts. While this doesn’t diminish Swift’s talent for making great pop songs, I never feel truly connected to her work like I do with my favorite artists. It’s very likely that any given melody of hers was inspired by specific incidents that are widely available on any celebrity gossip website. When I listen to a Taylor Swift song, for example, I feel like I’m listening to a song from her perspective. One reason why these songs are so effective is because they don’t carry the same narrative baggage that many other pop artists bring to their music, even unknowingly. Right when one song ends, another is right there to suck you in again. Unlike many pop albums, which are often created with the focus on the “single”, Emotion is best experienced as a whole. Jepsen and her songwriting team perfectly balance, creating a diverse soundscape that doesn’t sound like a convoluted mess. More than anything, I am stunned at how ambitious the album is. Listening to Emotion, I can happily report that the Canadian singer’s third album is her best yet, and maybe one of the best pop albums of the year. Eventually, the “Call Me Maybe” craze died down, and Jepsen fell back from pop music consciousness. Listening through the album, I couldn’t help but feel that Jepsen’s creativity was being stifled by a marketing team who were only looking for that next big hit. It was almost as if the success of “Call Me Maybe” was used as a template to create eleven more unimaginative clones. The rest of the singer’s second album, Kiss, didn’t shine nearly as brightly. The only problem with Jepsen’s hit single is just that-it’s only a single. Anytime those violins in the song’s intro start plucking, I can’t help but sing along (with my volume determined by who I happen to be around). With its catchy lyrics, stellar production, and youthful charm, “Call Me Maybe” is a near-perfect pop song. I’m not going to be that guy who pretends to not love “Call Me Maybe.” Sure, I can say that pop music is a marketing-driven industry that aims to crank out uninspired and derivative singles to exploit impressionable teenagers, but at the end of the day I’ll still be singing Carly Rae Jepsen’s smash hit song in my car.
