Stop sleeping on Carly Rae Jepsen's music

I'm going to be the first to admit that I'm not the biggest fan of pop music. However, there's just something different about Carly Rae Jepsen's music. It sounds genuine, and not artificial or manufactured like some of the more well known pop acts out there. I guess it doesn't hurt that she's this tiny, adorable Canadian.

Her first single, I Really Like You, failed to top the chart like Call Me Maybe did, but she did manage to stay on the Billboard's top 100 for over 20 weeks. I guess having Tom Hanks star in the music video didn't hurt.

Her second single, Run Away With Me, has this awesome synth saxophone in it. A lot of people are also saying it's Carly's version of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream".

She just dropped Warm Blood, which is my favorite so far from her album. It doesn't even sound like a song she would record which is why I like it so much. It's a collaboration between Carly and Rostam Batmanglij from Vampire Weekend.

Here are the remaining 2 songs she has released so far which are just easily as great: All That and EMOTION

Her new album, E•MO•TION, comes out in North America on August 21st.

E•MO•TION is currently number 28 on Rateyourmusic.com. This is huge since mainstream pop music are hardly ever rated that high on that site.

I am officially on the Carly Rae Jepsen train and you should be too, Neogaf!

C'mon Gaf, be a little open-minded and let Carly into your life!

Just listen to Warm Blood dammit!

It's some underground, experimental pop music, not just your average bubble-gum pop music.

EMOTION (the single) has great production. I really like it. One of the standout pop tracks of the year for me, the rest seems a bit lacklustre.

As far as pure sugary pop music, she's my favorite out there right now. Her new album is much better than Taylor Swift's (who I don't get the appeal of at all) or something like Katy Perry (zzzz) etc.

"When I Needed You" off the new album is great (sorry, doesn't appear to be on youtube or I'd link).

I was once a volunteer from the audience at a show at the Magic Castle alongside CRJ.

She was adorable. <3

I really dislike Call me maybe and went in with very low expectations, but I'm pleasantly surprised with Warm Blood. Not half bad at all, I'll keep my eye on her future releases.

I feel slightly ashamed for people who don't recognize EMOTION as a top 5 (at worst) candidate for AOTY.

The beautiful freedom, bliss & joy in almost every song is just woo. Let me blast When I Needed You & cry happy tears.

Her album is definitely a lot better than I thought it would be. It's a much better album than her debut.

EDIT: In fact, it's a much better album than 1986 even if it's missing some of the crazy radio singles.

Can I sleep with her as well?

(I find her music to be catchy. I use it when I need an upbeat song to get me ready for a big moment)

"Owl City ft. Carly Rae Jepsen - Good Time" is pretty much the only song starring her I know besides Call Me Maybe. Good song to relax to, but that might be more on Owl City that CRJ.

Yeah I gotta admit her shit is catchy, and I don't feel dirty listening to it either.

Dude, there's nothing underground or experimental about that song.

It's not a bad track though.

All That is a bop. I'll give you that.

And I'll stream the album when it is finally released here, even though it has been out in Japan for years now.

Not my kind of music whatsoever. I will continue to sleep on it, and there's nothing you can do about it.
