Carly Rae Jepsen
Carly Rae Jepsen is a Canadian singer and songwriter. Born in 1985, she first came to fame by finishing in third place on the TV show Canadian Idol. Shortly afterwards, she released her debut album, Tug Of War, including the Canadian top 40 singles āTug Of Warā and āBucket.ā
Three years later, she released the single āCall Me Maybeā and planned to follow it with what would have been her second album, Curiosity. However, after the song caught the ear of fellow Canadian, Justin Bieber, he referred her to his manager, Scooter Braun, which led to her signing an international deal with Interscope Records. Before long, it became one of 2012ās most enduring hits, racking up over a billion YouTube views and topping the charts in 21 countries, including the US and Canada. The aforementioned Curiosity album was cut down to EP length, and work continued on her eventual sophomore LP, Kiss. Released in September 2012, it also featured the Owl City collaboration āGood Timeā, which reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Jepsen returned in March 2015 with āI Really Like You,ā the lead single from her third studio album. The song received a more muted reception than her breakout hitāalthough it did reach #2 in the United Kingdomāand consequently, the album, Eā¢MOā¢TION, failed to make a substantial impact chartwise. Despite this, the album drew in a new wave of fans with its more experimental and mature sound; such was the amount of praise among both the public and critics that a follow-up EP of album outtakesāEā¢MOā¢TION: Side Bāwas released on the albumās first anniversary.
After two years of recording sessions with the likes of High Tower, Jack Antonoff, Julia Karlsson and longtime collaborator Tavish Crowe, Jepsen debuted āParty for One,ā the lead single from her fourth studio album, in November 2018. Dedicated followed in May 2019 and featured the singles āNow That I Found Youā and āJulien.ā
