Submitted by trievan t3_y9jbr6 in Music

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!

She should feel thankful she was privileged enough to have heard you.

I've never felt more seen. My fiance constantly giving me the side-eye in the car when this banger (or any other CRJ really) comes on.

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

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

Bruh don't get me started on that album...

Btw because of this post im checking out CRJ and never would have originally. Delightfully surprised!

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

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.

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!

Brave releasing an album the same day as Taylor Swift, you have to imagine there's a lot of overlap in the fanbase

RathVelus t1_it7nb67 wrote

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.

She had the date first

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.

CR24752 t1_itd1pv8 wrote

Carly is also signed to Scooter’s label so there might be a little beef there?

nnksi t1_it7wxm6 wrote

That’s funny, because Swift was the surprise release to me today.

The Loneliest Midnights

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.

Taylor and Carly have made my grueling flight schedule today so much better!

Shadowbanned24601 t1_it8cv4h wrote

Bit of a different genre but there's a new Arctic Monkeys album today too.

An all round good day

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

Dude same, and I'm a pretty big fan of heartthrob and love you too death as well. It just didn't really hit this time around I guess

SuperVillageois t1_it84tex wrote

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

CR24752 t1_itd1vxf wrote

Yep! And the Raycists are mad about Lana only doing background vocals lol

SuperVillageois t1_itd6ziw wrote

Ha, honestly I was a bit disapointed too. While listening to the album for the first time, I kept waiting for their duo, not realizing I had already heard it ><

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.

She's the most underrated pop singer. She really should be known more outside of CMM. She releases so many bangers.

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

Gf dragged me to her Dallas show and i fell in love when i heard “Run away w Me “ 😍 The crowd was an amazing diverse and loving bunch. Carly has a colorful fan base 🥰

If I don't get this house I'm hoping to get, maybe I'll go, there is a show coming up soon

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.

Taylor Swift hates seeing other women succeed, so she dropped an old b sides set on CRJ’s night. Source: bro, trust me

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

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.

changamerges t1_it8nagr wrote

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.

Emotion was an absolute banger, just listening to the new one now.. loving it so far. Pop queen for sure!

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.

A coworker was just sharing this with me today, said Emotions was a great album, so I have it a listen. Was impressed 👍

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!

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.

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.

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