Emotion (Carly Rae Jepsen album)

March 12, 2024

Emotion (stylized as E•MO•TION) is the third studio album by Canadian singer and songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen. It was released on June 24, 2015 in Japan and worldwide on August 21, 2015 through 604, School Boy, and Interscope Records.[5][6][7][8] Looking to transition from the bubblegum pop-oriented nature of her second studio album, Kiss (2012), Jepsen found inspiration in 1980s music and alternative styles. She enlisted a team of mainstream and indie collaborators, including Sia, Mattman & Robin, Dev Hynes, Ariel Rechtshaid, Rostam Batmanglij, Greg Kurstin, and Peter Svensson of the Cardigans, culminating in a largely synth-pop-centric effort.

Emotion received favorable reviews from contemporary music critics, who praised its pop escapism. The album underperformed worldwide, debuting at number sixteen on the Billboard 200 with 16,153 units. However, in Jepsen's home country, it became her third top ten, peaking at number eight in Canada with 2,600 copies. The album fared better in Japan, debuting at number eight with 12,189 physical copies sold and subsequently being certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for shipments exceeding 100,000 copies.

The album was preceded by the release of its lead single, "I Really Like You", which reached top five in several territories including the United Kingdom and Japan. It was followed by "Run Away with Me" and "Your Type". Jepsen embarked on the Gimmie Love Tour in support of the album in November 2015, with a second leg commencing in February 2016. In April 2016, she toured Canada in support of the album as the opening act for Hedley on their Hello World Tour.

In lieu of commercial success, Emotion reinvigorated Jepsen's career as an "indie darling", garnering her a cult following.[9][10][11][12] The album was shortlisted for the 2016 Polaris Music Prize. A companion EP entitled Emotion: Side B (2016) was released on its first anniversary and features eight songs that were cut from the original project.[13][14]

Background edit

Following the sudden worldwide success of "Call Me Maybe" in 2012, Jepsen found that the song had become "[this] huge, ginormous thing that really overshadowed the rest of our project" and further singles issued from Kiss failed to gain traction.[15][16] Jepsen viewed her predicament as an opportunity to withdraw from the spotlight and contemplate the direction of her next album. She met with her record label and management after The Summer Kiss Tour wrapped up in late 2013, stating: "'I want you to put your faith in me that I'll come back when it's ready,' and they did and I'm very lucky to have a team that wasn't about trying to mass produce things and was really more looking at the quality of it."[15]

While determining her next direction, Jepsen looked for a "detour" which turned out to be a role on Broadway. "I thought, how amazing would it be to take a left turn, somehow, and still come back to this? [...] but 'left turn'—I didn't know what that meant."[17] She was approached by the producers of Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella to audition for the titular character, and was formally offered the part after auditioning in Los Angeles and passing callbacks in New York.[17][18] Jepsen assumed the role for twelve weeks from February to June 2014, and during this time handled her own A&R. With help from guitarist Tavish Crowe, Jepsen began reaching out to artists she admired to see if they were interested in collaborating, including Tegan and Sara, Rostam Batmanglij of Vampire Weekend and Shellback.[16]

Under pressure to match the success of "Call Me Maybe", Jepsen recorded an entire indie-folk album during her run on Cinderella as an act of "rebellion".[19][20] Feeling that the demo project was developed for the wrong reasons, Jepsen ultimately scrapped it: "I think there is a natural rebellion when you have success in one area to completely rebel against that. I needed to get that out of my system, I think. I made really weird music." Jepsen's work on Cinderella provided valuable perspective in terms of being defined by a single attribute, particularly from her costar Fran Drescher: "Everyone still calls her 'the Nanny'. I realized you can't give in to other people's perception of you. Everyone's gonna be known for something."[21]

"[Emotion] had to not be about trying to prove something. I feel like if you're writing music just to have a different identity in the public's eye, it's sort of the wrong motive. It's gotta be coming from a place of what you love and what you're passionate about."[22]

Writing and development edit

Due to her dissatisfaction with Kiss's constrained timeframe of two months,[23] Jepsen went into Emotion with the intent of crafting a project that was authentic and allowed her to approach different avenues.[24][25] Whereas Kiss was developed in an acquiescent manner, as Jepsen was simply grateful for the opportunity, Emotion was spurred by her desire to take more creative control.[26] Jepsen commented that much of the album is about "trying to get some power back" after exiting a relationship and subsequently settling down in New York.[27] She sought to channel a "heart-on-your-sleeve sensibility" reminiscent of 1980s pop music after attending a Cyndi Lauper concert in Japan.[28] These themes were further explored through "old-school" Prince and Madonna records on morning runs before Cinderella rehearsals: "What I loved was how potent some of those [1980s] lyrics were—how heart wrenching, how everyone's tea leaves are just right there on their sleeve. In music today, everything is a little more coy, but I wanted that romance and that fantasy, and I think that a lot of people [my] age do."[27][9]

"['80s music] was kind of an escape from reality. There's a bit of fantasy on the album in that we've heightened everything–heightened the love and heightened the drama. [...] I would tell the people I worked with, 'I want that feeling, that yearning, that uhhhhh.' And they were like, 'OK, you grunted. I think we get it.'"[29]

An epiphany came to Jepsen after finishing "Emotion", the album's title track, where she found that a 1980s pop sound, combined with a more "alternative" production, was what she had been seeking.[25] This fashioned the album's direction entirely–Emotion developed as a midway point between the "pure" pop she recorded in Los Angeles and the indie-folk effort that was scrapped in New York.[20]

Jepsen combed through Dev Hynes' discography after becoming infatuated with "Losing You" by Solange, to which she found his name listed in its production credits.[30] Jepsen sought to collaborate, stating she was a fan, which Hynes hesitated to believe. He was eventually "won over" by Jepsen's demonstration of her vocal ability and work ethic, and credited her with genuine intentions of "[developing] a new aesthetic" versus pursuing "Pitchfork-approved artists" for the sake of indie credibility.[31] The pair worked in a Chelsea studio between Jepsen's Cinderella performances.[26] Hynes sent a demo of what would become "All That", where Jepsen wrote the bridge and produced the vocals herself. Ariel Rechtshaid was brought in for additional work on the song.[32][16] In a similar affair, Jepsen's admiration of Sky Ferreira's work led her to Rechtshaid and the pair began meeting for coffee dates, figuring out a session date as he was in the midst of producing with Brandon Flowers.[33] Rechtshaid further contributed to Emotion by aiding in the selection process of its track list and finalizing the production on its closer, "When I Needed You".[32]

Rostam Batmanglij was a prior fan of Jepsen's work when he reached out to her in the summer of 2014, after learning that she was in Los Angeles writing with various people.[32] Jepsen was "over the moon" and the pair developed "Warm Blood" over the next year, the first verse recorded as Jepsen sat on the carpet of Batmanglij's home studio.[34][35] Batmanglij announced the track's existence via Twitter on April 29, 2015.[36]

Jepsen spent a month in Sweden recording for the album, per her label's suggestion.[37][38] These sessions materialized in its lead single "I Really Like You", written with Peter Svensson of the Cardigans, "Your Type" with Rami Yacoub and Carl Falk, and the Mattman & Robin-produced "Run Away with Me" which developed over two separate trips to the country.[39][40] The duo flew to Los Angeles for one last session with Jepsen, finishing "Gimmie Love" in a day.[41]

Prior to starting full-fledged work on Emotion, Jepsen had sketched several of its demos on her tour bus as she supported Kiss back in 2013.[27] Of these, "Boy Problems" would eventually finalize its form with Sia and Greg Kurstin.[42] Sia wrote the bridge to "Boy Problems", and contributed the outside cut "Making the Most of the Night", which Sia originally developed with the members of Haim.[43][44] "I Didn't Just Come Here to Dance" existed as early as 2011 according to matching lyrics on a tweet authored by Jepsen.[45] It would eventually be presented to Max Martin after the pair finished work on "Tonight I'm Getting Over You" in 2012; intending to cease their session at midnight, the song compelled Martin to stay for two extra hours.[42] It was confirmed that she had worked with Josh Ramsay, Ryan Stewart, Benny Blanco and Stargate, though none of these producers appeared on the finalized project.[46] A total of 250 songs were composed over the course of the album's development.[47] Speaking to the Herald, Jepsen stated that she worked on Emotion past deadline and finished right before its Japan release date on June 24, 2015.[48]

Composition and lyrics edit

Emotion contains elements of synth-pop and new wave.[49][50][51] Consequence of Sound summed the record up as a "more mature, sophisticated version of her [Kiss] hyperpop", Jepsen elaborating: "I wanted to kind of blur the lines of what [a pop album] needed to be."[52][53] She found it a challenge to repurpose the album's 80s influences into a modern context without delving into "empty nostalgia", stating that the album is not strictly a "period piece", but is "tinted with shades of that era".[54][31] The lyrics on Emotion "shade her old ebullience with darker, more complex feelings", and it is sonically grounded with "earthier textures" from 80s R&B–cleansing herself of the Cinderella performances during the record's production.[23] Elsewhere, Jepsen explores funk and disco on "Boy Problems", and house music on "I Didn't Just Come Here to Dance".[55][56][57]

Jepsen singled "All That" out as most representative of the goals she sought to accomplish with Emotion. Lyrically: "['All That'] holds a special place in my heart because it is so revealing: It's talking about the desire for intimacy with somebody. And I think with songs like 'Call Me Maybe', that can be quite light and a little bit more surfacey, it's fun to get a little deeper."[54][53] Jepsen penned "Your Type" with Rami Yacoub and Carl Falk at four in the morning when she was "losing her mind": "They got me hooked for a week on those little fake cigarettes that taste of strawberries. You can hear it in my voice, I sound all gritty. It's because I was vaping for a week."[58]

"Warm Blood" was produced by Rostam Batmanglij and co-written with Tino Zolfo and Joe Cruz. It initially held the hook "warm love feels good" to which Batmanglij misheard as "warm blood", sticking as its main motif as he was drawn to its physical rather than abstract connotations.[32] Jepsen explained: "The more we chipped away at it, we couldn't get away from how much better 'blood' felt and how realer it was. It's almost like that warm skin or that feeling of intimacy."[34] The song has been noted for its experimental vocal effects, with Batmanglij scattering distorted vocal cuts throughout, a "creepy" quality that the pair immediately liked. Elsewhere, sections of "Warm Blood" were sung in a lower pitch; Jepsen was to re-record these parts as she came to the session with "shot vocals", however its "smokier" quality abandoned these plans.[59] Brad Nelson of The Guardian compared Jepsen's performance to that of Ezra Koenig's "machine-produced flexibility" on the Vampire Weekend song, "Diane Young".[60]

In a session with Tavish Crowe, the closer "When I Needed You" was written to process a break up where Jepsen realizes the faults of her seemingly "perfect" relationship: "[...] but in order to stay in it, I would have to be quite a different person than who I naturally am [...] and that sacrifice didn't seem worth it in the end." Dan Nigro and Nate Campany composed the "happier-sounding" instrumental, to which Jepsen felt a sense of catharsis in concealing a "very serious" emotion. Ariel Rechsthaid reworked the chord progression in order to invoke a sense of "desperation", droning through it with a series of bell notes that made the composition sound "a little bit more somber". The "five-string, funk-R&B" bass line was played by Ethan Farmer, and the drum fill, "an 80s kind-of snare with a big reverb on it," was inspired by John Mellencamp's "Jack & Diane".[61]

"When I'm Alone", a song written and co-composed by Jepsen during sessions for Emotion, was eventually purchased by SM Entertainment and given to K-pop girl group f(x) for their album 4 Walls.[62] "Cut to the Feeling" and "Runaways", both written by Jepsen during sessions for Emotion, were recorded for the soundtrack of the 2016 film Ballerina.[63] "Wildflowers", a song written during the sessions for Emotion which leaked online in 2016, was covered by Elle Fanning for the soundtrack of the film Teen Spirit (2018).[64]

Title and artwork edit

Eternal Summer was a running contender for the album's title, in reference to Los Angeles being an "eternal summer in sunshine" where time perspective is lost.[14][16] It originated from the song "Eternal Summer" which Jepsen developed for a scrapped indie-folk effort; the song was ultimately cut from Emotion as well. Per suggestion from her A&R, the song "Emotion" was retrofitted as the album's title as Jepsen was fond of its strength, both as a one-word title and its complexity as a concept.[65] Jepsen further stated that the song "Emotion" itself encapsulated her feelings of clarity, as its writing process steered her in the direction of "'80s emotional pop". Jepsen was "sold" on the title Emotion after she was sent its phonetic spelling, which is reflected in its stylization (E·MO·TION).[65]

The album artwork features Jepsen sitting in a reserved position as she dons a technicolor sweater and black tights: "There were a few different pictures that had more of a decided facial expression, but I kind of liked the fact that I can't totally read what I was thinking in that picture. It could be many things, and this album, to me, was sort of a collection of many different emotions."[65][66] The artwork's typography bears the dictionary entry of "Emotion" as a noun.[67]

Emotion received positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 77, based on 24 reviews.[85] The album was praised for its "pop perfection" in catchiness, cohesion and production value.[94][95][96] Sasha Geffen of Consequence of Sound wrote, "Few artists have taken a logarithmic hit like "Call Me Maybe" as a sign to push even further, to make something better, more human, and more electric. But Jepsen is the kind of singer who thrives on the stakes that unapologetic pop music offers."[88] Annie Zaleski of The A.V. Club said, "If there's any justice, Emotion will propel her to superstardom—but even if it doesn't, she can at least rest easy knowing she made one of 2015's most interesting, effervescent records."[87] Peter Tabakis of Pretty Much Amazing stated that "Emotion is so good, it's formed sky-high expectations out of thin air."[97] Slant Magazine's James Rainis writes, "Emotion is further proof that Jepsen is capable of translating broadly understood emotions and experiences into unshakable earworms."[92]

Opinion was divided over the album's lyrical content, which some reviewers have deemed as immature or bland.[94] Corban Goble of Pitchfork commented, "It's unfair to deeply scrutinize lyrics on a pop record—the goal is to write smart, but skew broad—but Emotion fails to tell us who Jepsen is or wants to be."[1] Her "absence of an identity" was further compared to her contemporaries for their image-conscious work.[92] While Adam Downer of cokemachineglow opines that the album's "retro-pop bliss without angle or ego lends it a refreshingly timeless quality", further contexualizing it [in] "a year where pop stars fight for brand supremacy"; Alexis Petridis of The Guardian states that the issue isn't Jepsen being without an "outrageous, headline-grabbing persona" like Rihanna or Miley Cyrus but that "she doesn't do anything to stamp her identity on the songs [...] It's one problem that all the expensive names in the credits can't solve."[89] Similarly, Jon Caramanica of The New York Times scrutinizes the heavy-lifting done by Emotion's cast of collaborators: "Maybe Ms. Jepsen's choices merely reinforce the new centrist pop model of ’80s sleekness [...]; but why fall under the spell of someone else's cool when you can luxuriate in the stink of your own cheese?"[98]

In a more negative review, Billy Hamilton of Under the Radar critiques the poptimism narrative surrounding Jepsen and her perceived effort to appease "indie tastemakers", regarding her as "the pet project of a creative hipsterati that's determined to prove pop is cooler than you, or I, could possibly ever imagine," further expressing that "Carly Rae Jepsen and her production team try overly hard to be clever."[99] In a similar conclusion, Evan Sawdey of PopMatters writes that "Emotion is still a very pleasing album if not just a shade overambitious, clearly trying too hard to make the same genius pop moments that Kiss churned them out with effortless flair."[100]

Commercial performance edit

The album debuted at number 16 on the US Billboard 200, earning 16,153 album sales in its first week.

In Japan, the album debuted at number 8 with 12,189 physical copies sold in its first week. On April 2, 2016, Jepsen revealed via Twitter that Emotion was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan, having sold over 100,000 copies there, these copies represent physical sales of the album only.[124] The album entered the UK Albums Chart on September 25 at number 21 with sales of 4,150 copies in addition to streaming figures.[125]

Legacy edit

Emotion is considered a crucial factor in Jepsen's "unlikely" career trajectory, following her stint on Canadian Idol and the ubiquity of "Call Me Maybe" to "cult idol".[126][127] Marked as a transitional piece, publications commended Jepsen for cultivating her sound, which "[reestablished] herself as a pop star for grown-ups".[128][129] Carrie Battan of the New Yorker posed that Emotion spared Jepsen from "falling to her death" and instead descended her to the bottom akin to a rising "mindie" artist, online buzz and "underground cred" in tow: "Jepsen, the woman behind one of the biggest songs of this century, now resembles someone whom she never had the opportunity to become at the beginning: an indie darling."[10]

Emotion was labelled a "commercial flop" as its promotional cycle waned.[130][131] James Rettig of Stereogum writes, "The lead-up to Emotion played out like a lesson in what not to do with a pop singer sitting precariously on the edge between cultural ubiquity and cult following."[132] Some blamed its promotional roll-out, with a Japanese release arriving two months ahead and therefore susceptible to leaks. Elsewhere, others focused on creative choices–Rettig criticized "I Really Like You" as lead single, the "most damaging misstep" that hindered Jepsen's ability to showcase her artistic growth.[132] FasterLouder's Jules LeFevre noted that Jepsen's decision against promoting any archetypal identity rendered herself "indistinct" in the "crowded pop landscape".[133]

The record grew to become a cult hit with Jepsen labelled as an "underdog" as it spread by word-of-mouth.[132] Whereas music critics were "compelled by the narrative of a one-hit wonder trying to rebuild herself", as quipped by Battan, Caitlin White of Uproxx writes, "I think Emotion wouldn't be as meaningful if we had to share it with capitalism's steely machinery; its commercial failure is part of what makes it continue to feel intimate, ours."[10][134] Emotion is noted for garnering Jepsen a large LGBTQ audience,[135][136][137] Brandon Tensley of Pacific Standard opining that her music "taps into a shared queer history of escape, possibility, and disappointment", likening her to Kylie Minogue.[138]

NPR called Emotion a "modern touchstone", by which they compared the Aces and Paramore's After Laughter (2017) to.[139] In developing her EP Now That the Light Is Fading, Maggie Rogers resolved to make pop music after being inspired by Emotion.[140] Jay Som counts Jepsen as a notable influence on her debut album Everybody Works: "I felt very assertive with [Everybody Works] because I was also listening to her music. I liked how energetic and youthful the spirit is—and it's just so not ashamed to be this pop record."[141] A tribute album was released digitally by Something Merry on November 21, 2018. The album is a track-by-track cover of Emotion, including covers made by Wild Pink, Cheer Up, Future Teens, Gabe Goodman, Good Looking Friends, Kiki Maddog, Lilith, Mandancing, oldsoul, Photocomfort, Pushflowers, the Aux, the Superweaks, Tuft.[142]

Emotion I Really Like You Released March 2 2015 Run Away with Me Released July 17 2015 Your Type Released November 9 2015Emotion received favorable reviews from contemporary music critics who praised its pop escapism The album underperformed worldwide debuting at number sixteen on the Billboard 200 with 16 153 units However in Jepsen s home country it became her third top ten peaking at number eight in Canada with 2 600 copies The album fared better in Japan debuting at number eight with 12 189 physical copies sold and subsequently being certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan RIAJ for shipments exceeding 100 000 copies The album was preceded by the release of its lead single I Really Like You which reached top five in several territories including the United Kingdom and Japan It was followed by Run Away with Me and Your Type Jepsen embarked on the Gimmie Love Tour in support of the album in November 2015 with a second leg commencing in February 2016 In April 2016 she toured Canada in support of the album as the opening act for Hedley on their Hello World Tour In lieu of commercial success Emotion reinvigorated Jepsen s career as an indie darling garnering her a cult following 9 10 11 12 The album was shortlisted for the 2016 Polaris Music Prize A companion EP entitled Emotion Side B 2016 was released on its first anniversary and features

ginormous thing that really overshadowed the rest of our project and further singles issued from Kiss failed to gain traction 15 16 Jepsen viewed her predicament as an opportunity to withdraw from the spotlight and contemplate the direction of her next album She met with her record label and management after The Summer Kiss Tour wrapped up in late 2013 stating I want you to put your faith in me that I ll come back when it s ready and they did and I m very lucky to have a team that wasn t about trying to mass produce things and was really more looking at the quality of it 15 While determining her next direction Jepsen looked for a detour which turned out to be a role on Broadway I thought how amazing would it be to take a left turn somehow and still come back to this but left turn I didn t know what that meant 17 She was approached by the producers of Rodgers Hammerstein s Cinderella to audition for the titular character and was formally offered the part after auditioning in Los Angeles and passing callbacks in New York 17 18 Jepsen assumed the role for twelve weeks from February to June 2014 and during this time handled her own A amp R With help from guitarist Tavish Crowe Jepsen began reaching out to artists she admired to see if they were interested in collaborating including Tegan and Sara Rostam Batmanglij of Vampire Weekend and Shellback 16 Under pressure to match the success of Call Me Maybe Jepsen recorded an entire indie folk album during her run on Cinderella as an act of rebellion 19 20 Feeling that the demo project was developed for the wrong reasons Jepsen ultimately scrapped it I think there is a natural rebellion when you have success in one area to completely rebel against that I needed to get that out of my system I think I made really weird music Jepsen s work on Cinderella provided valuable perspective in terms of being defined by a single attribute particularly from her costar Fran Drescher Everyone still calls her the Nanny I realized you can t give in to other people s perception of you Everyone s gonna be known for something 21 Emotion had to not be about trying to prove something I feel like if you re writing music just to have a different identity in the public s eye it s sort of the wrong motive It s gotta be coming from a place of what you love and what you re passionate about 22 Writing and development editDue to her dissatisfaction with Kiss s constrained timeframe of two months 23 Jepsen went into Emotion with the intent of crafting a project that was authentic and allowed her to approach different avenues 24 25 Whereas Kiss was developed in an acquiescent manner as Jepsen was simply grateful for the opportunity Emotion was spurred by her desire to take more creative control 26 Jepsen commented that much of the album is about trying to get some power back after exiting a relationship and subsequently settling down in New York 27 She sought to channel a heart on your sleeve sensibility reminiscent of 1980s pop music after attending a Cyndi Lauper concert in Japan 28 These themes were further explored through old school Prince and Madonna records on morning runs before Cinderella rehearsals What I loved was how potent some of those 1980s lyrics were how heart wrenching how everyone s tea leaves are just right there on their sleeve In music today everything is a little more coy but I wanted that romance and that fantasy and I think that a lot of people my age do 27 9 80s music was kind of an escape from reality There s a bit of fantasy on the album in that we ve heightened everything heightened the love and heightened the drama I would tell the people I worked with I want that feeling that yearning that uhhhhh And they were like OK you grunted I think we get it 29 An epiphany came to Jepsen after finishing Emotion the album s title track where she found that a 1980s pop sound combined with a more alternative production was what she had been seeking 25 This fashioned the album s direction entirely Emotion developed as a midway point between the pure pop she recorded in Los Angeles and the indie folk effort that was scrapped in New York 20 Jepsen combed through Dev Hynes discography after becoming infatuated with Losing You by Solange to which she found his name listed in its production credits 30 Jepsen sought to collaborate stating she was a fan which Hynes hesitated to believe He was eventually won over by Jepsen s demonstration of her vocal ability and work ethic and credited her with genuine intentions of developing a new aesthetic versus pursuing Pitchfork approved artists for the sake of indie credibility 31 The pair worked in a Chelsea studio between Jepsen s Cinderella performances 26 Hynes sent a demo of what would become All That where Jepsen wrote the bridge and produced the vocals herself Ariel Rechtshaid was brought in for additional work on the song 32 16 In a similar affair Jepsen s admiration of Sky Ferreira s work led her to Rechtshaid and the pair began meeting for coffee dates figuring out a session date as he was in the midst of producing with Brandon Flowers 33 Rechtshaid further contributed to Emotion by aiding in the selection process of its track list and finalizing the production on its closer When I Needed You 32 Rostam Batmanglij was a prior fan of Jepsen s work when he reached out to her in the summer of 2014 after learning that she was in Los Angeles writing with various people 32 Jepsen was over the moon and the pair developed Warm Blood over the next year the first verse recorded as Jepsen sat on the carpet of Batmanglij s home studio 34 35 Batmanglij announced the track s existence via Twitter on April 29 2015 36 Jepsen spent a month in Sweden recording for the album per her label s suggestion 37 38 These sessions materialized in its lead single I Really Like You written with Peter Svensson of the Cardigans Your Type with Rami Yacoub and Carl Falk and the Mattman amp Robin produced Run Away with Me which developed over two separate trips to the country 39 40 The duo flew to Los Angeles for one last session with Jepsen finishing Gimmie Love in a day 41 Prior to starting full fledged work on Emotion Jepsen had sketched several of its demos on her tour bus as she supported Kiss back in 2013 27 Of these Boy Problems would eventually finalize its form with Sia and Greg Kurstin 42 Sia wrote the bridge to Boy Problems and contributed the outside cut Making the Most of the Night which Sia originally developed with the members of Haim 43 44 I Didn t Just Come Here to Dance existed as early as 2011 according to matching lyrics on a tweet authored by Jepsen 45 It would eventually be presented to Max Martin after the pair finished work on Tonight I m Getting Over You in 2012 intending to cease their session at midnight the song compelled Martin to stay for two extra hours 42 It was confirmed that she had worked with Josh Ramsay Ryan Stewart Benny Blanco and Stargate though none of these producers appeared on the finalized project 46 A total of 250 songs were composed over the course of the album s development 47 Speaking to the Herald Jepsen stated that she worked on Emotion past deadline and finished right before its Japan release date on June 24 2015 48 Composition and lyrics editEmotion contains elements of synth pop and new wave 49 50 51 Consequence of Sound summed the record up as a more mature sophisticated version of her Kiss hyperpop Jepsen elaborating I wanted to kind of blur the lines of what a pop album needed to be 52 53 She found it a challenge to repurpose the album s 80s influences into a modern context without delving into empty nostalgia stating that the album is not strictly a period piece but is tinted with shades of that era 54 31 The lyrics on Emotion shade her old ebullience with darker more complex feelings and it is sonically grounded with earthier textures from 80s R amp B cleansing herself of the Cinderella performances during the record s production 23 Elsewhere Jepsen explores funk and disco on Boy Problems and house music on I Didn t Just Come Here to Dance 55 56 57 Jepsen singled All That out as most representative of the goals she sought to accomplish with Emotion Lyrically All That holds a special place in my heart because it is so revealing It s talking about the desire for intimacy with somebody And I think with songs like Call Me Maybe that can be quite light and a little bit more surfacey it s fun to get a little deeper 54 53 Jepsen penned Your Type with Rami Yacoub and Carl Falk at four in the morning when she was losing her mind They got me hooked for a week on those little fake cigarettes that taste of strawberries You can hear it in my voice I sound all gritty It s because I was vaping for a week 58 Warm Blood was produced by Rostam Batmanglij and co written with Tino Zolfo and Joe Cruz It initially held the hook warm love feels good to which Batmanglij misheard as warm blood sticking as its main motif as he was drawn to its physical rather than abstract connotations 32 Jepsen explained The more we chipped away at it we couldn t get away from how much better blood felt and how realer it was It s almost like that warm skin or that feeling of intimacy 34 The song has been noted for its experimental vocal effects with Batmanglij scattering distorted vocal cuts throughout a creepy quality that the pair immediately liked Elsewhere sections of Warm Blood were sung in a lower pitch Jepsen was to re record these parts as she came to the session with shot vocals however its smokier quality abandoned these plans 59 Brad Nelson of The Guardian compared Jepsen s performance to that of Ezra Koenig s machine produced flexibility on the Vampire Weekend song Diane Young 60 In a session with Tavish Crowe the closer When I Needed You was written to process a break up where Jepsen realizes the faults of her seemingly perfect relationship but in order to stay in it I would have to be quite a different person than who I naturally am and that sacrifice didn t seem worth it in the end Dan Nigro and Nate Campany composed the happier sounding instrumental to which Jepsen felt a sense of catharsis in concealing a very serious emotion Ariel Rechsthaid reworked the chord progression in order to invoke a sense of desperation droning through it with a series of bell notes that made the composition sound a little bit more somber The five string funk R amp B bass line was played by Ethan Farmer and the drum fill an 80s kind of snare with a big reverb on it was inspired by John Mellencamp s Jack amp Diane 61 When I m Alone a song written and co composed by Jepsen during sessions for Emotion was eventually purchased by SM Entertainment and given to K pop girl group f x for their album 4 Walls 62 Cut to the Feeling and Runaways both written by Jepsen during sessions for Emotion were recorded for the soundtrack of the 2016 film Ballerina 63 Wildflowers a song written during the sessions for Emotion which leaked online in 2016 was covered by Elle Fanning for the soundtrack of the film Teen Spirit 2018 64 Title and artwork editEternal Summer was a running contender for the album s title in reference to Los Angeles being an eternal summer in sunshine where time perspective is lost 14 16 It originated from the song Eternal Summer which Jepsen developed for a scrapped indie folk effort the song was ultimately cut from Emotion as well Per suggestion from her A amp R the song Emotion was retrofitted as the album s title as Jepsen was fond of its strength both as a one word title and its complexity as a concept 65 Jepsen further stated that the song Emotion itself encapsulated her feelings of clarity as its writing process steered her in the direction of 80s emotional pop Jepsen was sold on the title Emotion after she was sent its phonetic spelling which is reflected in its stylization E MO TION 65 The album artwork features Jepsen sitting in a reserved position as she dons a technicolor sweater and black tights There were a few different pictures that had more of a decided facial expression but I kind of liked the fact that I can t totally read what I was thinking in that picture It could be many things and this album to me was sort of a collection of many different emotions 65 66 The artwork s typography bears the dictionary entry of Emotion as a noun 67 Release and promotion editSee also Gimmie Love TourJepsen announced the title of the album on April 11 2015 and released the cover artwork on April 15 2015 68

album received an average score of 77 based on 24 reviews 85 The album was praised for its pop perfection in catchiness cohesion and production value 94 95 96 Sasha Geffen of Consequence of Sound wrote Few artists have taken a logarithmic hit like Call Me Maybe as a sign to push even further to make something better more human and more electric But Jepsen is the kind of singer who thrives on the stakes that unapologetic pop music offers 88 Annie Zaleski of The A V Club said If there s any justice Emotion will propel her to superstardom but even if it doesn t she can at least rest easy knowing she made one of 2015 s most interesting effervescent records 87 Peter Tabakis of Pretty Much Amazing stated that Emotion is so good it s formed sky high expectations out of thin air 97 Slant Magazine s James Rainis writes Emotion is further proof that Jepsen is capable of translating broadly understood emotions and experiences into unshakable earworms 92 Opinion was divided over the album s lyrical content which some reviewers have deemed as immature or bland 94 Corban Goble of Pitchfork commented It s unfair to deeply scrutinize lyrics on a pop record the goal is to write smart but skew broad but Emotion fails to tell us who Jepsen is or wants to be 1 Her absence of an identity was further compared to her contemporaries for their image conscious work 92 While Adam Downer of cokemachineglow opines that the album s retro pop bliss without angle or ego lends it a refreshingly timeless quality further contexualizing it in a year where pop stars fight for brand supremacy Alexis Petridis of The Guardian states that the issue isn t Jepsen being without an outrageous headline grabbing persona like Rihanna or Miley Cyrus but that she doesn t do anything to stamp her identity on the songs It s one problem that all the expensive names in the credits can t solve 89 Similarly Jon Caramanica of The New York Times scrutinizes the heavy lifting done by Emotion s cast of collaborators Maybe Ms Jepsen s choices merely reinforce the new centrist pop model of 80s sleekness but why fall under the spell of someone else s cool when you can luxuriate in the stink of your own cheese 98 In a more negative review Billy Hamilton of Under the Radar critiques the poptimism narrative surrounding Jepsen and her perceived effort to appease indie tastemakers regarding her as the pet project of a creative hipsterati that s determined to prove pop is cooler than you or I could possibly ever imagine further expressing that Carly Rae Jepsen and her production team try overly hard to be clever 99 In a similar conclusion Evan Sawdey of PopMatters writes that Emotion is still a very pleasing album if not just a shade overambitious clearly trying too hard to make the same genius pop moments that Kiss churned them out with effortless flair 100 Select year end lists edit nbsp Jepsen during Gimmie Love Tour in San Francisco on February 27 2016 Critic Publication List Rank Ref

Me Maybe to cult idol 126 127 Marked as a transitional piece publications commended Jepsen for cultivating her sound which reestablished herself as a pop star for grown ups 128 129 Carrie Battan of the New Yorker posed that Emotion spared Jepsen from falling to her death and instead descended her to the bottom akin to a rising mindie artist online buzz and underground cred in tow Jepsen the woman behind one of the biggest songs of this century now resembles someone whom she never had the opportunity to become at the beginning an indie darling 10 Emotion was labelled a commercial flop as its promotional cycle waned 130 131 James Rettig of Stereogum writes The lead up to Emotion played out like a lesson in what not to do with a pop singer sitting precariously on the edge between cultural ubiquity and cult following 132 Some blamed its promotional roll out with a Japanese release arriving two months ahead and therefore susceptible to leaks Elsewhere others focused on creative choices Rettig criticized I Really Like You as lead single the most damaging misstep that hindered Jepsen s ability to showcase her artistic growth 132 FasterLouder s Jules LeFevre noted that Jepsen s decision against promoting any archetypal identity rendered herself indistinct in the crowded pop landscape 133 The record grew to become a cult hit with Jepsen labelled as an underdog as it spread by word of mouth 132 Whereas music critics were compelled by the narrative of a one hit wonder trying to rebuild herself as quipped by Battan Caitlin White of Uproxx writes I think Emotion wouldn t be as meaningful if we had to share it with capitalism s steely machinery its commercial failure is part of what makes it continue to feel intimate ours 10 134 Emotion is noted for garnering Jepsen a large LGBTQ audience 135 136 137 Brandon Tensley of Pacific Standard opining that her music taps into a shared queer history of escape possibility and disappointment likening her to Kylie Minogue 138 NPR called Emotion a modern touchstone by which they compared the Aces and Paramore s After Laughter 2017 to 139 In developing her EP Now That the Light Is Fading Maggie Rogers resolved to make pop music after being inspired by Emotion 140 Jay Som counts Jepsen as a notable influence on her debut album Everybody Works I felt very assertive with Everybody Works because I was also listening to her music I liked how energetic and youthful the spirit is and it s just so not ashamed to be this pop record 141 A tribute album was released digitally by Something Merry on November 21 2018 The album is a track by track cover of Emotion including covers made by Wild Pink Cheer Up Future Teens Gabe Goodman Good Looking Friends Kiki Maddog Lilith Mandancing oldsoul Photocomfort Pushflowers the Aux the
