    Carly Rae Jepsen had an impossibly high bar to meet — her own. What do you do after you release a modern classic (her studio album EMOTION) and achieve legendary status among music critics?

What do you do after you release a modern classic (her studio album EMOTION) and achieve legendary status among music critics? You create another masterpiece — more mature, more refined, more adventurous. Dedicated can’t help but fall in EMOTION’s shadow, but it truly is its own record, with its own atmosphere, attitude, and message. It’s more intimate than EMOTION ever was, and plays with more sounds: Carly bounces from sophisticated, 1970’s piano-heavy lounge-pop (“Everything He Needs”) to No Doubt/Gwen Stefani New Wave (“I’ll Be Your Girl”) to the nostalgic, 80s-tinged gems she does so well (“No Drug Like Me,” “Want You in My Room”). Like any good Carly album, Dedicated is addictive, cohesive, and thoughtful, nearly every song its own slice of pop perfection. It’s truly an achievement to create pop that is this catchy, yet this sophisticated. Expand

    The perfect representation of pop and passion. Each song intertwines into a cohesive whole with the themes of all stages of love and dedicating yourself to another.

    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. In 'Dedicated',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. In 'Dedicated', Carly doesn't venture too much in uncharted terrain, and that is a great thing, indicating that she knows who she is, her audience and her place in today's pop landscape. 'Dedicated' emerges as an alternative in the already-oversaturated sounds that dominate the Top40 radio as one of the best Pop releases of 2019. Expand

    A real piece of art, the sound she went with on this album is different than what she did with emotion. That doesn't mean it's not good, it's for the best honestly. The sounds are fresh and unique and she made pop what it's supposed to be.

    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.

    However, Dedicated has no commercial appeal and shows this since its first track, its intention is to show true quality in the musical and lyrical productions that go through the influences of the styles of the 80s and 90s.

    The album is fantastic. You would think it's impossible to create a worthy followup for emotion but Mrs Jepsen delivered.

    Grooving into lovely confessions, Carly come with a new salvation of pop music. With a great team, 'Dedicated' is cohesive, linear and funny

    Just everything you could ask for from a music album. It’s fun, passionate, beautiful, catchy and heart-wrenching. Everyone should listen to this and I’d be shocked if any of them didn’t like it. It’s completely phenomenal!

    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.

    Carly has done it again, Dedicated is another masterpiece from someone the world thought was a one-hit wonder. Every song is fantastic, some outshine others but each one feels wonderful in it's own right. I would like to especially mention "Want You In My Room", it is a masterpiece on an album full of them.

    If Carly Rae keeps up this level of quality, I look forward to decades from now when it’s impossible to choose her top 3 albums. Hit after hit after hit!

    A magnificent piece of pop music, with mixed influences, but still personal and cohesive. I don't know if it will top Emotion (or the even more incredible Side B), but for sure we are in for a great comeback.

    album gradativo e bem humorado, ele atrai uma sintonia harmônica de tempos contemporâneos ao moderno conhecido e perfeito estilo unico de sonoridade, além de focar em um grandes espaço de sincronização das canções ao decorrer do álbum, agrada nossos tempo ao finaliza-lo de uma forma moderada e bem apresentada ao conceito final.

    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.
