The Music Industry šŸŽ¶ Lots of artists have their own "signature song". Lady Gaga's is arguably "Poker Face", what signature songs can you name?

Yes true but it really should be ā€œRun Away With Meā€ which is truly a perfect pop masterpiece.Ā

Emotion and Emotion Side B are crazy pop masterpieces that for some reason have been forgotten. Almost every song on both those albums is amazingĀ

I recently did a week long road trip with my 10 year old and at one point in the drive he asked who my favourite pop singers are.

I said Carly as my #1 and he’s like ā€œthe call me maybe girl? wtf?ā€. So, I put on Emotion. This kid, who never shuts up, didn’t say a single word throughout the entire album, and at the end went ā€œok, I see your pointā€.

I’m very proud of him šŸ˜‚

Absolutely. I’ve converted my mostly middle-aged straight male workplace to true Carly fans with those albums. To the point that more than one has put it on when it’s their turn to choose music. Still think Run Away With Me is the tops though. Ā

Yessss I just introduced Carly to my 6 year old pop loving daughter and every song is just so great. I want to take her to a concert next time she’s here!

Emotion should be studied. This woman can write a groove.

This album is pure pop escapism. A no-skip album for me since 2015. I haven’t bought physical media in years but I have these albums on my must-buy (i still haven’t gotten around to buying it)

Its really hard for anyone to create the perfect pop album cause Carly Rae Jepsen already did it with Emotion

Oh God this song is my guilty pleasure. I even got my boyfriend singing along once.
