Okay, I've been addicted to this album recently and I need to fess up how much I fucking love it. The mix of the soul and flavorful pop is a catchy enough recipe, but Jepsen's charming innocence is what pushes this album over for me. It's really refreshing to divulge into such a simple minded and untainted album like this. So often, the music I listen to is challenging sonicly and/or lyrically, so it's nice to visit Emotion as a breath of fresh air. But this album wouldn't be as listenable if the charm wasn't lifted up by the foundation of its instrumentation. It's complex and has a lot of left hooks that make relistening a joy. Carly Bae Jepson was always a passable pop idol with little to make her distinct her from the many like her, but with this album she manages to takes this dead horse of a formula and pluck out its strong suits and blend it with an intricacy that allows one to appreciate the simpler side of music.
