"Call Me Maybe" was a song I never took that seriously, even at 11. So, I thought the positive feedback for "Emotion" was a joke. Especially when the lead single really, really, really annoyed me when it came out. But here I am listening to it and I was very surprised by this! The 80's pop aesthetics are tastefully done, the typical subjects of boy loving are handled extremely well with Carly Rae Jepsen's great songwriting and the hooks are irresistibly catchy! Nothing about this album feels rushed to bank off of her breakout single's success. Actual thought and care was put into it and, with the help from some great indie producers, makes "Emotion" one of the best pop records of the decade!
