One artist. Every album. Ten songs.
The Music of Carly Rae Jepsen
When I asked my brother for music recommendations, Carly Rae Jepsen was his definitive choice - he had listened to all of her music, and promised I wouldn't be disappointed. Everything he said about her turned out to be true - she's fun, bubbly, and upbeat throughout her music. It's impossible not to bob your head a little bit or tap a toe when listening to her albums - it'd be curmudgeon-y of you to refuse.
One of Canada's top performing artists, Jepsen's claim to fame was "Call Me Maybe" in 2012. Everyone on the planet was singing her song, and countless viral videos were released as people recorded themselves covering it. She kept the hits coming with her album 'Kiss', and since then her albums have been released in two parts - a Side A and a Side B for each album. I wouldn't say there's many songs that are unforgettable in terms of their narrative focus or heart, but it's undeniable that Jepsen's music is crafted to make you feel good. It's perfect for a Friday night party or a road trip with friends.
