@npr: Released 10 years ago, Carly Rae Jepsen's supercharged album, 'Emotion' was a critic's darling out the gate and firmly cemented Jepsen's status as a niche star with a fervent gay fanbase. It's been much dissected and evangelized as pure perfection, and while the majority of the population may only remember Jepsen as the "Call Me Maybe" girl, her cultural footprint is far greater than that of a one-hit wonder. But the album also contains a particular emotion (*ahem*) often underdiscussed when considering Jepsen's appeal: earnest horniness. Nowhere is this more effective than on the pulsating reverb-heavy "Gimmie Love."

CRJ is actually such a ridiculously under appreciated pop icon. Sure she’s got some corny tracks here and there but Emotion was an instant classic. She consistently knocks it out of the park with catchy hooks driven by crazy good instrumentals!

"might be the only Carly Rae Jepsen you know" How very dare you! I'm in her top 0.01% on Spotify!

Her whole catalog is so fun. If you liked call me maybe there are so many more bangers.

Listen, I never want to hate on a CRJ lover, but girl, Run Away With Me is one of the best pop songs ever! Ever!

Way too many 10s on Emotion to say something like “best song no contest” but great video nonetheless.

Gimme Love is good, but calling it the best song on the album when Run Away With Me kicks off the album with its glorious sax line is legitimately insane

it's not the only song I know by a long shot sister. CRJ is my favorite artist of all time. You think the algorithm would play like this? 🧐

I mean, gimmie Love is great in an album full of great songs. But run away with me is literally unmatched, not just in Carly Rae jepson's catalog, but in pop music from the last 10 years.

Emotion is such a stacked album. Gimme Love is amazing, but for me, Favorite Colour edges it out.

Contest: “Run Away From Me” is the best song on Emotion. (They’re all good, but this is a no doubter)
