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》標(biāo)志著Carly Rae Jepsen作為榜單冠軍的終結(jié)，以及CRJ作為勇往直前的守護神的開始?！癈all Me Maybe”火遍全球，聽得已讓人麻木，Jepsen隨之開始尋找屬于自己的聲音，在匯集了數(shù)百首歌曲并細心挑選之后，她創(chuàng)作出了明亮、大膽的合成流行樂，帶有明顯的80年代風(fēng)格。雖然《E?MO?TION》最初被認為是一次商業(yè)上的失敗，但有其他幾位不多的音樂合伙人一起，成為了2010年代某種趨勢的象征:越來越多她這般的主流流行歌手轉(zhuǎn)向了自己的獨立音樂。Jepsen與Dev Hynes和Rostam合作，她打磨了她的各個要求,并使這張專輯充滿了能讓人感受到的聲波細節(jié):合成音樂的光芒從“All That”照射出來,“這支抒情曲也看似為了John Hughes電影里的舞會現(xiàn)場所創(chuàng)作，專輯中也有“Warm Blood”這樣的冷門歌曲，在這首歌中你能清晰地聽到四個不同的層次。聽了“Careless Whisper”，誰會忘記里面用薩克斯管來開啟一首流行歌的最經(jīng)典的部分呢?但正是Jepsen不加掩飾的渴望和強烈的拋棄感，才使《E?MO?TION》成為了一張公認的邪典級熱門專輯，同時也難得的是，它還成為了一張真正優(yōu)秀的浪漫喜劇式專輯。
