Whenever the album drops one of y'all better do the generous thing and send me whatever drug cocktail you all partake in that brings the CRJ joy to its Pulse peak because I'm jealous of it. Like the melodies are always good-to-great and the production is slick but, with the exception of a few songs (the brilliant "Cry" being the most impactful), her work just never fully clicks with me. It all feels too...mechanical or artificial or something. Not in the fake sense, but in the factory-made sense. And my local pharmacist was useless so help a girl out. Someone else said it, and the "mechanical or artificial" and "factory-made" comments are understandable, but I would apply them to the Kiss tracks, not Emotion. Not to shade myself (and Carly) but what made her fully click with me was that she has been the soundtrack I most relate to as I navigate gay dating in New York City in my 20s, lol. Her genuine lyrics apply to every situation. Whether waiting to meet someone I have genuine feelings for... ("Before you came into my life I missed you so bad.") The excitement when you finally do, but you've only just started talking... ("Take me to emotion, I want to go all the way, show me devotion...") Overthinking it once you hang out a little bit... ("Oh, Did I say too much? I'm so in my head, when we're out of touch.") Wanting to do everything with them... (Pretty much all of Let's Get Lost) Going back and forth as they (and you) hook up with other people... (All of Boy Problems) In the club WITH THEM while you play those stupid emotional games trying to make each other jealous ("Hey Joe's calling me over, Tino is calling me over, but I only came here for you.") And then, ultimately, it not working out lol... ("I miss you, I mean it, I tried not to feel it, but I can't get you out of my head.") Finally, accepting it as I wander the city... ("And my light stay up, but your city sleeps, it's a different world when you're not here with me.") All of those feelings are called... EMOTIONS! My friends call me Emotion: Side C, and say its the reason I am single. I saw a talk with New Yorker magazine interviewing Carly live. She couldn't be more down to earth, humble, cute, and genuine! She talked about writing the lyrics and how her personal experiences have shaped each record. Anyway, thanks for listening to my Carly rant.

Still beyond bitter "Cut To The Feeling" wasn't a hit. That song was pure ambrosia, gifted directly from the pop gods. We mere mortals weren't worthy.

I never feel more energized and alive than before the chorus hits! I'm so confused on Carly's approach. It wasn't sent to radio, I believe, and the music video came out in September, and was very boring and basic. I love Carly to the end, but her hair and wardrobe, and energy, left a lot to be desired. Also, making the most colorful song I've ever heard have a black and white video was a terrible creative decision. In my opinion, it could have been a hit with promo. Carly's material is there, I think interest in the artist (outside of the gay community) is the main issue. How do we promote Carly to the masses again?!? I can't let this new album flop.

I really need to find out soon if she has a new single coming out... I really hope "Disco Darling" is real, it sounds so promising.
I need new CRJ in my life. She is poised for a lot of success this era. I don't think she will be commercially viable, but critically, she could light the world on fire.
And I'm excited for a new album cycle, because between Kiss > Emotion none of my friends or peers respected or knew Carly outside of CMM, and they didn't like her or considered her for little kids or a joke.
Now they are hyped and perched... can't wait for Carly to deliver.

Looks like new music from her will be released in October, likely the first week to coincide with her performance at the All Things Go festival.

Emotion, and in particular RAWMe, are indisputably in the upper echelon of pop music released in the past decade. Her impact and status only grows over time.
In sixty years, our children will be telling our grandchildren about Carly Rae Jepsen.
