E•MO•TION marked the end of Carly Rae Jepsen, wholesome chart-topper, and the beginning of CRJ, patron saint of just going for it. After the mind-numbing ubiquity of “Call Me Maybe,” Jepsen went in search of her own sound and, after cowriting hundreds of songs, landed on bright, bold synth-pop with a distinct ’80s sleekness. Though E•MO•TION was initially considered something of a commercial flop, it became, along with a few other LPs, emblematic of a certain 2010s trend: the rise of the mainstream pop star swerving to collect her indie cred. Working with collaborators like Dev Hynes and Rostam, Jepsen honed her reference points and packed the album with tactile sonic details: the synth sheen cascading off “All That,” a ballad seemingly made for the prom scene in a John Hughes movie, or the way the house-tinged sleeper “Warm Blood” pulses on at least four different levels at once. And who could forget the most epic saxophone part to open a pop song since “Careless Whisper”? But it was Jepsen’s unabashed yearning and acute sense of rejection that turned E•MO•TION into a certified cult hit—relatable in the way that a really good rom-com is, and just as rare. –Jillian Mapes

《E•MO•TION》标志着Carly Rae Jepsen作为榜单冠军的终结,以及CRJ作为勇往直前的守护神的开始。“Call Me Maybe”火遍全球,听得已让人麻木,Jepsen随之开始寻找属于自己的声音,在汇集了数百首歌曲并细心挑选之后,她创作出了明亮、大胆的合成流行乐,带有明显的80年代风格。虽然《E•MO•TION》最初被认为是一次商业上的失败,但有其他几位不多的音乐合伙人一起,成为了2010年代某种趋势的象征:越来越多她这般的主流流行歌手转向了自己的独立音乐。Jepsen与Dev Hynes和Rostam合作,她打磨了她的各个要求,并使这张专辑充满了能让人感受到的声波细节:合成音乐的光芒从“All That”照射出来,“这支抒情曲也看似为了John Hughes电影里的舞会现场所创作,专辑中也有“Warm Blood”这样的冷门歌曲,在这首歌中你能清晰地听到四个不同的层次。听了“Careless Whisper”,谁会忘记里面用萨克斯管来开启一首流行歌的最经典的部分呢?但正是Jepsen不加掩饰的渴望和强烈的抛弃感,才使《E•MO•TION》成为了一张公认的邪典级热门专辑,同时也难得的是,它还成为了一张真正优秀的浪漫喜剧式专辑。
