Emotion, Carly Rae Jepsen's third album, arrived in Japan on June 24, 2015 and everywhere else that August, and it's the sound of the "Call Me Maybe" singer deliberately leaving the bubblegum of Kiss behind. She went digging in the 1980s and in left-of-center pop, recruiting a mix of chart pros and indie auteurs: Sia, Dev Hynes, Ariel Rechtshaid, Rostam Batmanglij, Greg Kurstin, Mattman & Robin and the Cardigans' Peter Svensson. What came out is a glistening synth-pop record, all shimmering keyboards and big-hearted longing.
"I Really Like You" led off and went top five in the UK and Japan, with "Run Away with Me", "Your Type" and "Boy Problems" behind it. It debuted only at number 16 in the US, but the afterlife was the real story: critics loved its escapist rush, it made the 2016 Polaris Music Prize shortlist, and it turned Jepsen into an indie darling with a cult following. In 2025 Rolling Stone and Paste both ranked it among the best albums of the century so far.
