Carly Rae Jepsen • Kiss

Controversy[edit]
Ahead of Daft Punk's 2013 album release Random Access Memories, the band were accused of unmasking Daft Punk with photos of the band playing beer-pong with champagne glasses in Columbia Records' offices.[29] The band responded that they did not take the photos, which were in fact a re-post from another user, and furthermore many pictures of Daft Punk without masks freely and openly exist.

playing pitchfork fest this summer fyi

I enjoyed it, but then I seem to like everything involving Carly, so look elsewhere for critical analysis.

crj has recorded the theme song for the upcoming sequel to full house

i presume i know the answer to that puzzle but there's only one B and i think there should be 2

so...do we have any idea what song TeganOrSara (sorry, not sure which) is talking about at 3 minutes of this video, posted about halfway thru the thread?

one that wasn't released.

The Emotion remix+ Japanese exclusive EP comes with two new tracks and ummmm they're both great, especially First Time.

love "First Time"

Is everyone ready for the era of PC Music Carly Rae? It's a speculative leap from just an Instagram pic, for sure, but...

omg "first time"

please no

xpost

if i know carly -- and i don't, really -- but she would never adopt the guile and cynicism of PC music, it's just not her aesthetic.

*indicates "first time" upthread* guys GUYS

"fever" is also super great

yeah yeah that's all fine and good but I think the real important focus here is garbage musicians PC Music

"PC Music Carly Rae"

Hard pass.

To be fair, she's worked with worse garbage than PC Music. And isn't Danny L Harle one of the better artists in the PC Music collective?

PC Music is not cynical!!!!

she's worked with worse garbage than PC Music

haha true i still can't shake the nightmarish memories of that Owl City collab :[

there is way too much detail and effort put into PC Music stuff for it to be made by someone who hates it

two new songs would be highlights on either emotion or kiss, god who gives a shit about pc music

if we ever see whatever writing comes out of that uh single instagram picture i imagine it won't be half as bad as charli's tangent with sophie

two new beautiful gifts from Carly Rae

I love them both so much already

between this and the 25% off coupon i got at the grocery store today is great

yeah these new songs are fantastic

Freaking out abt seeing her tomorrow. Still can't believe she's playing literally every song from the deluxe ed of E MO TION except my favorite ("Black Heart") but don't even care

pc music are EVEN WORSE than owl city

their cynicism or not is irrelevant to how awful they are in every way

also i am so glad to have found, among self-identifying pop fans, others who only rate e-mo-tion as 6 or 7/10

\o

monsters

still waiting to find, among self-identifying pop fans, people who spell _Emotion_ as it should be spelled

(it's a 6.5/7 for me, _Kiss_ is like an 8.5/9 though)

just saw her in Bmore and it was soooooo great omg

very happy to see her again last week although the show was less intense than the NYC one last fall (crowd was a bit dud). CRJ's two new songs are OK (she did one of them live) but I'm growing tired of the 80s production esthetic. I really wonder which direction she'll be taking for her next album already.

"Now, it’s all about figuring out what’s next, and Jepsen is excited by the possibilities. “I called my A&R guy and asked if it it would be cool if I went away for three years and came back with a 45-song deluxe edition. And he was like that’s super weird — you can’t do that. I fought for it for a while before I had enough people tell me, yeah, this won’t ever happen so you need to let it go.”" http://www.stereogum.com/featured/all-that-we-could-do-with-this-emotion/

there was a section of fist-pumping shirtless men in the mezzanine when i saw her last month, it ruled

new video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1LNQBX8JwE

crushing on her REAL HORD rn

for a split second i forgot this video existed and was hoping there was suddenly a video for "fever"

so ... what's the deal with Emotion vinyl? impossible to find? did they ever even press some? more coming? none of the above?

i bought it off amazon

We got a signed copy at the show

I've got one. They come up on eBay quite a lot.

Here's a little podcast interview thing with her describing the evolution of "When I Needed You", with demo fragments and both her and Ariel Rechtshaid describing how they nailed the John Hughes movie vibe without it collapsing under its own 80s influence. FWIW this was my favorite song of 2015 on our EOY ILM poll ballot, so it's especially gratifying to hear components like the burbling synth arpeggios and the funk bass and the drum avalanche isolated into discrete morsels of crack.

Enjoyed that, thanks.

I know a lot of people on this board have issues with PC Music but this new Danny L Harle/Carly Rae collab is fucking fantastic. Perfect summer jam.

https://jams.to/2016/06/danny-l-harle-super-natural-feat-carly-rae-jepsen/

This is great. Super-infectious and not at all affectless like a lot of PC Music aspires to be. I definitely rate Danny L Harle as the best of those producers.
