Carly Rae Jepsen’s new album is full of E·MO·TION
MANILA, Philippines – Carly Rae Jepsen is back with her latest pop album with a whole new flair and flavor and fullness of heart.
Not straying from her unforgettable chart-topping, viral hit “Call Me Maybe”, the Canadian singer-songwriter has taken over the airwaves this year with the single “I Really Like You” (with a matching star-studded music video featuring no less than Oscar winner Tom Hanks and pop heartthrob Justin Bieber).
But more than churning out bubblyand saccharine tunes of professing deep infatuation or love, Jepsen has moved up to a mature take on the subject. This is evident in the synth and epic new single “Run Away With Me” which is steadily climbing the music charts.
“That song’s about being away from someone for so long and having to make this one weekend together count,” Jepsen explained. “It’s totally romantic and not very real-life, but there’s something kind of magical in that.”
The pop sensation is releasing her new album E·MO·TION this month. She admitted that it is a fruition of matters of her own heart.
“I’d recently broken up with someone and moved to New York, so it was a scary new world for me—but at the same time I felt like I was coming into my own,” she shared. “A lot of the album’s about me trying to get some power back.”
Jepsen decided to go for a deceptively simple title.
“At a photo shoot one day I was looking at the definition of ‘emotion,’” she recalled, “and I loved the example that went along with it: ‘She was attempting to control her emotions.’ In some ways that’s exactly what I was doing with all these songs.”
With its bright and shimmering layers of melody and texture, E·MO·TION gracefully captures both the joy and risk in following your heart.
