This Album Changed Pop: Carly Rae Jepsen's 'Emotion'
Description
In this episode, we’re diving deep into Carly Rae Jepsen’s E·MO·TION — the shimmering, synth-soaked album that redefined her career and helped reshape modern pop. Released in 2015 to modest commercial success but massive critical acclaim, E·MO·TION became a slow-burn cult favorite, influencing a generation of pop artists and listeners alike.
We unpack the album’s legacy:
✨ How it moved beyond Call Me Maybe and proved Carly as a master of pop craft
🪩 Why it resonated so deeply with pop fans and music nerds
🎛️ The production dream team (Dev Hynes, Ariel Rechtshaid, Rostam, etc.)
💖 And why Run Away with Me still has the best sax riff of the decade
From the highs of Gimmie Love to the bonus track deep cuts, we’re celebrating one of the most beloved pop records of the 2010s — and asking the question: what makes E·MO·TION so timeless?
