Carly Rae Jepsen showcases a unique blend of production styles and lyrical intensity throughout her work. B-side collections reveal her knack for creating songs that resonate with emotions, as seen in The Loveliest Time's opener. Her tracks range from the upbeat and synth-driven This Kiss to the sultry allure of No Drug Like Me. Collaborations with avant-garde artists like Ariel Rechtshaid and Dev Hynes yield gems such as All That. Her albums, including Emotion, emphasize feelings over specific narratives, highlighting her distinctive approach to songwriting.
The opener to The Loveliest Time evinces several CRJ trademarks: a love of odd production in the drily funky guitar and playful percussion, breathy falsetto and obsessive, intense lyrics about being willing to do anything for love.
CRJ is a fiend for pure sensation who literally called an album Emotion: often her lyrics skip over any specific object of affection and cut straight to the feeling.
No Drug Like Me lives up to its narcotic premise with its slinky, muted boogie and Jepsen's gasped promises to blossom for you.
All That, made with Ariel Rechtshaid and Dev Hynes, is a sparkling devotional that forms a perfect period trifecta with Sky Ferreira's Everything Is Embarrassing and Solange's Losing You.
