    Did not enjoy this album. Carly hasn’t shown any progression as an artist, and I hope with her next record she will show more growth.

Since the Julien, you can feel the amount of fun Carly Rae Jepsen had while making this album. The way she addresses topics like love, self-love, falling in love, and adoring someone is just unique.

    This album gives me the pop attitude that I have not seen on major pop artist's music in the past few years. Without being bias I think this is what pop should sound like. The sound of the album is energetic, rhythmic, and joyful but not reaching the point of being childish.

    Carly Rae Jepsen, true to herself and her audience, released a consistent and bubbly pop record which distances itself from all the current pop panorama, overfilled with young girls singing with breathy vocals about anxiety and suicidal thoughts, offering us dancy groovy tracks with no other intention than to satisfy the hungry ears of her small-yet-very strong fanbase.

    Carly did it again. It brought what pop fans wanted. Dedicated shows that she has dedicated herself even in those three years since her last album to continue showing authenticity with her music and style. Luckily his manager did not intervene at all in the creative process of the album, even though Emotion can be considered a great qualitative fate in that regard.

My favourite songs off the album are "No Drug Like Me" and "Want You In My Room", both of which feel like they've been sitting in Carly's song vault since 1984, perfectly nostalgic in their campy 80's goodness (even though I wasn't alive then) with equally infectious hooks.

    First full listen it gave me a vibe of "continuation and progression of E-MO-TION" / "Emotion 2.0". I think this is/was mostly due to its heavily 80's inspired production, similar to the production theme of E-MO-TION.

However, upon further listening there are definitely a fair share of differences, nuances, and unqie bits in production, songwriting and vocal delivery that make this album worthy of praising without needing to compare it to prior work. 1/3 of the tracks are very heavily disco / nu-disco (COW BELL!) influenced while the rest is a grab bag of dance and synth pop and some contemporary bits ("Everything He Needs"). Many of the synths remind me a lot of the ones used in new wave music. Overall a catchy, good listen that's easy to digest and enjoy without skipping tracks and heavy repeatability. Let your curious mind take approx. 50 minutes to listen to it and give it a try!… Expand

    Stunning groovy 80's inspired electro-pop. The synths float and wooze there way through hook after hook whilst her cool sugary voice floats atop the boppy goodness. The critics darling has done it again after her hard to follow masterpiece E-MO-TION.

    One of the best pop albums I’ve listened to in a long time. Continuing with a sound similar to her last album, Emotion, Carly Rae brings us back to the era of 2000s pop, when pop music was at it’s peak. Refusing to jump on the current bandwagon of trap and other hip-hop beats, Carly Rae Jepsen reclaims her title as the Savior of Pop Music.

    Carly always manages to mix contemporary sounds with the old school pop sounds. And this album is no exception. Julien is the kind of song you must play at a party.

    I’m really proud of Carly. She had huge shoes to fill following up Emotion, and instead of trying to make the same again, she went a different direction and nailed it without losing what makes her so great. She is elevated pop, bringing in nuanced emotions into catchy songs about love. These songs take more time to grow on you than Emotion, but it’s worth it.

    Despite Carly's past projects around pop labels and not receiving the recognition she deserves, Dedicated is a new journey into disco, synth and electro vibes that suits very well with Jepsen's pop voice making it very chill and easy to listen to, and also the album reaffirms the quality of the artist, making her a strong contender for the future of pop music.

    A great album, worth the wait. Deserves all the love and more that the album is getting. A perfect follow up to EMOTION

    I think it's cohesive, not necessarily another E-MO-TION (which is totally fine), but I get the same initial feeling as when I first dove into Robyn's Honey -- although not as spiritual and mournful, just really well-written and it will unveil its charms with repeated listens.

    Carly delivers once again and defines experimental pop in an impressive way. Each track stands out on its own but are also cohesive, which makes it such a great album.

    Top pop album. The lyrics are clever it is all about love and that's what fans love. The instrumental are nice and the hooks are always on point Best song:
    Real love
    Want you in my room

    The whole album is a complete bop. Incredibly polished sounding, and in an entirely different league of its own in terms of pop music.

    I created an account in order to write a review for this album, because it cannot be understated how good it is.
    E•MO•TION is a fantastic album, but it had some tracks that didn't land for me, which was remedied with the b sides. Most of the b sides tracks should have been on the main album. All to say, E•MO•TION is a hard act to follow and undeniably amazing (even with my personal    I created an account in order to write a review for this album, because it cannot be understated how good it is.

    Understandably there would be high expectations for Dedicated. Not only were my expectations met, they were completely blasted out of existence. Dedicated is a perfect pop album. Every song is infectiously catchy, brimming with energy, lush and complete.
    Do yourself a favor and throw this on and be prepared to have it on repeat.    … Expand

    Cohesive, disco-tinged pop with tracks both simultaneously playful and deep

    Fantastic pop album with sounds reminiscent of the eighties. Carly Rae Jepsen did a great job.

    A fantastic pop album, differing enough from Emotion to show off her amazing talent in a fresh way.

    A great follow up to her last album Emotion, Dedicated hits just as hard and keeps the same vibe of great synths mixed in with pop ballads. Carly certainly has figured out what works and is sticking to it with this one. Definitely would recommend this cohesive and catchy pop masterpiece!

    There could be an argument that a couple of edits to make the track listing shorter would have resulted in an even more effective album. However, this is easily one of the best pop albums of the year as it is: one that’s unlikely to be bettered unless a certain Ms Swift really pulls it out of the bag.

    Dedicated isn’t a perfect album--it’s overlong and occasionally concedes too much to chart tastes to be interesting. But by the time Jepsen takes a bow following bonus track “Party For One,” you’re reminded once again of her generosity, of all the space she’s cleared for strength and weakness, for personal epiphanies and communal release.

    Dedicated is good, but it doesn’t whirl with the same destructive force; in that sense, it is Carly Rae’s first genuine failure in a decade.
