    This album is the definition of "pop perfection" it's been 8 years since the release of the album and up to this day no one can compare to this masterpiece, Carly capture the essence of 80s, 90s synth pop into a modern day album pop. It is a experience listening to this album

    E•MO•TION de Carly Rae Jepsen é um salto para frente, não apenas para a própria Carly, mas também para a música pop, é OURO pop dos anos 80, a produção é repleta de sintetizadores e batidas brilhantes e reluzentes, a escrita é inteligente e amadurecida, e atinge o ponto que estava tentando alcançar perfeitamente.

    One of THE best albums of this decade! It is incomparable to any other record, including Carly Rae Jepsen's first album. The beats, lyrics and vocals are on point. This is a good, good, GOOD album that you should buy.
    The best songs are La Hallucinations, Run Away With Me, Let's Get Lost, When I Needed You and Making the Most Of The Night.

    I'm not usually a fan of pop, but holy crap is this good. The production and instrumentation is familiar but innovative enough to remain interesting. The use of saxophone and slap bass works surprisingly well with the 80s inspired 2000s pop sound. The songwriting is also immaculate. Pretty much every song has this fantastic build up to their choruses (which are amazing and anthemic)

    EMOTION de Carly Rae Jepsen es el álbum perfecto para personas que aman y disfrutan de la música pop, canciones muy distintas pero a la vez unificadas con la letra que te lleva de viaje a vivir una aventura amorosa y las letras si bien son algo superficiales en algunas canciones cumplen la función de hablarnos del amor.

    Carly Rae Jepsen's EMOTION is one of the best pop albums of the last decade. Absolutely love the 80s sound in her album, lots of bops. This album is beautiful, lovely, fun, fresh, young and full of emotions and I understand why it's called EMOTION.

    Fav tracks : Run Away With Me, Emotion, Your Type, Warm Blood... basically 90% of the album.

    This album was clearly a standout from 2015. It was so strong and likely Carly's most cohesive work to this date. It may not have had a huge social impact, but it remains a cult favorite, especially in LGBTQ+ circles. Carly is a great songwriter and composer and it shows on this album.

    Carly Rae Jepsen came back to prove she was not a one trick pony and you know what? She did it. Carly Rae has managed to produce an amazing pop album that is both strong and surprising. Certainly one of the best pop albums of 2015!

    Emotion is terrific, like seriously. Not only is Emotion an ensemble of sterling pop, it’s a creative breakthrough on par with Robyn and Speak Now. Forgive my unbridled enthusiasm, which resembles a teenager’s lack of composure. Blame this artist’s impeccable taste and canny vision, realized on Emotion with blinding Technicolor. This is a strong album and there are no weak tracks here. In fact, I enjoyed every track on the album, obviously some more than others. The album feels a lot more focused than Kiss, it is totally energetic with a great retro 80s feel. Her voice is getting stronger and the production is not just cookie cutter pop, it is slick, polished and first class but what’s truly fascinating about the album is how naturally and authentic the music comes across here. Many singers pipe out love songs but it's obvious that the songs were entirely written by someone else.

    Where Emotion stumbles, it merely wobbles, never falling completely out of line. The albums tracks all speak to the message of Emotion and while there were moments on Carly's previous album Kiss where some songs lowkey felt like a Call Me Maybe rehash, Emotion moves out of that song's shadow and each new song offers something new and exciting. This album was destined to become a pop classic and it already is!

    it's a pretty solid, slick, humid and very bubblegum pop record. with some girlish poetry, humming electro-pop sounds, proper 70's references and generic hooks carly rae jepsen is picturing a warm good old fantasy of being in love and post-affection. and that's all that she could do with this emotion.

Além do flerte inicial dos namoros e o sentimento inicial do namoro. O seja, namoros é o tema principal. (Fútil pra alguns, interessante pra outros)

    É inegável a sensação gostosa de surpresa que a gente tem ao ouvir o novo disco da canadense, famosa pelo hit ''Call Me Maybe''. Talvez seja por isso que ela tenha sido colocado de forma tão subestimada, a menina que aqui era colocada até então como sombra de um grande hit, surpreende e o saldo ao ouvir o "Emotion" é somente positivo.

Talvez seja por isso que ela tenha sido colocado de forma tão subestimada, a menina que aqui era colocada até então como sombra de um grande hit, surpreende e o saldo ao ouvir o "Emotion" é somente positivo.
    Fica difícil não fazer comparações ao ''1989'' da Taylor Swift, que também resgata a base nas temáticas oitentistas. Carly, que nos últimos meses antes de lançar o "Emotion", escreveu dezenas de composições, inspiradas em grandes artistas dos anos 80 e em contemporâneos como Robyn e La Roux consegue nos deixar em cada faixa, uma sensação de uma época diferente e nostálgica de uma década dominada por gigantes como Madonna, Michael Jackson, Prince e Cyndi Lauper.
    A aposta certeira da ex-canadian idol se deu na renovação quase que completa dos produtores do seu disco passado, ''Kiss'', e aqui ela apostou em artistas novos e que estão despontando entre os críticos e adoradores de boa música como Devonté Hynes e Ariel Rechtshaid.
    A sensação ao terminar o disco é de como as faixas conseguem serem diferentes, criativas, mas sempre conectadas e sem perder o foco e a linha de raciocínio que inspira todo o conceito do álbum.
    Um dos melhores discos em essência pop da década, "Emotion" é sem sombra de dúvidas, inspirador e uma grande evolução pra artista Carly Rae Jepsen, que agora respira em novos ares.    … Expand

    Best pop album of the year by far. Cohesive and consistent, I can't formulate a list of 'the best songs' on the album because they're all so great. Almost a year later and it's still as fun as the first time.

    Vicious poderia ser o titulo do álbum, por ser viciante e que evolução ela teve do Kiss meio chatinho pra essa maravilha feita.

    Perfect Singles: Run Away With Me, All That, Emotion, LA Hallucinations e Your Tipe.

    One of THE best albums of this decade! It is incomparable to any other record, including Carly Rae Jepsen's first album. The beats, lyrics and vocals are on point. This is a good, good, GOOD album that you should buy.
    The best songs are La Hallucinations, Run Away With Me, Let's Get Lost, When I Needed You and Making the Most Of The Night.

    This album definitely puts Call Me Maybe to the grave. Truly an exceptional pop masterpiece that is worth being contemplated during it's creative process.

    Standout tracks: Run Away With Me, I Really Like You, All That, Making the Most of the Night, Your Type, I Didn't Just Come Here to Dance and When I Needed You.

    This album is so underrated. Call Me Maybe has completely overshadowed this album. When I first heard Run Away With Me, I was blown away by how amazing it was. It is such a shame that it didn't even reach the charts! Honestly, this album deserves so much more recognition.

    I don't think anyone saw an album like this coming from Carly Rae Jepsen. Call Me Maybe was an instant hit, but the rest of Kiss (written in a mere three months) seemed like she would just be a one hit wonder.

    Having the same production as some biggest pop hits of 2015, Jepsen's album is a masterpiece in pop music, having some inspirations in the 80's and 90's pop music, but failing to be a commercial success and getting a few recognition from critics and public as well.

    Aussi surprenant que cela puisse l'être, Carly Rae Jepsen a proposé un des meilleurs albums de 2015. Avec son côté rétro, cet album nous transporte dans les années 80 d'une manière absolument bluffante.

    Coup de cœur évident pour Your Type et I Didn't Just Come Here To Dance.

Maybe he has not had the success that was to have but with this album we know that not yet lost the pop touch that is disappearing lately. The songs are great as in the case of Run Away With Me and Your Type they are beautiful songs of the album, and that talk of Didn't Just Come Here To Dance like a song produced by the same Kylie Minogue. This album minimum should be nominated for Grammy awards. The best pop album of the year and even gave that talk.… Expand

    With this album Jepsen proves she is one of today's best pop artists. Written all by herself, E•MO•TION has deep lyrics with a fresh 80's sound that makes you want to sing along all the songs. Definitely one of the best albums of 2015, and in my opinion the best one in the Pop genre. It's a pity that, this album and her as an artist, are so underrated.

EMOTION is a synth-pop gem and, without a doubt, a better pop album than KISS; which wasn't as impressive.

    She doesn’t do anything to stamp her identity on the songs: good as they are, you’re struck by the sense you could be listening to anyone. It’s one problem that all the expensive names in the credits can’t solve, a single glaring imperfection in an album of otherwise perfect pop.

    E MO TION is no fluke. It doesn’t grip you by the heels but instead lures you into a full-bodied embrace that is iron-clad, it’s simply up to you to give it the chance to do so.

    Emotion succeeds on its own terms, arguably remaining truer to the spirit of the era, not to mention Jepsen’s stated aim of taking the time to craft an album rather than rushing to cash in on a YouTube sensation.
