Emotion by Carly Rae Jepsen
The artist: You may recall attending a party, any party, in the year 2012 and dancing and singing along to the infectious hit of the year, Call Me Maybe.
The pint-sized popstar behind those catchy lyrics, 29-year-old Canadian songstress Carly Rae Jepsen, is back with a follow-up album and a vengeance.
• The best song of the week: How Deep Is Your Love
• The best song of the week: Pretty Pimpin
• The best song of the week: The Less I Know The Better
• The best song of the week: Sapokanikan
• The best song of the week: Wasted Love
Just when you thought she couldn’t deliver on the promise made by Call Me Maybe, Jepsen delivered an entire album full of them.
Emotion is the title track off her recently-released album of the same name. Other highlights include chart-topper I Really Like You and Run Away With Me.
The vibe: Staccato pop beats and energising summer-lovin’ lyrics.
Listen to it when: Dancing. And singing along. Obviously.
