like, i know Carly Rae Jepsen is lgbtq+ culture because we have Taste™️, but also lyrically it makes a lot of sense. yeah, she’s cishet as far as anyone knows, and she’s writing from that experience, but it seems only natural that we would gravitate towards music about wanting so desperately to be loved but being afraid you wouldn’t know what to do with love if you had it, feeling out of your depth in relationships, fearing that your true self is inherently too much for people to handle, anticipating rejection.

yeah, her songs are universal enough to be applied to any relationship—that’s the beauty of pop music—but last night, when i screamed SOMETIMES I WISH THAT I COULD CHANGE, BUT NOT FOR ME, FOR YOU so loudly my throat’s still sore, it was specifically about the relationship that ended because i’m trans, & specifically about the relationship that ended because i’m ace, & specifically about my parents.

there was so much power in a room full of men singing about boy problems. a room full of lgbtq+ people singing give me love, give me love, give me love, yelling at the top of our lungs that I WON’T CHANGE FOR YOU, and there was power in our joy, too, in our dancing and laughing, and i definitely think the fact that her music is just so fun is part of it, but it’s also that there’s this current of desperation through so much of her work, this ‘let’s get out of this place, i can’t stay here’ this ‘i’m feeling so much that i was never equipped to deal with,’ this drastic, repetitive oscillation between knowing your worth and begging for love that i feel so deeply specifically because of my queerness.

Saxophones are heavily featured in 80s music and also in Carly Rae Jepsen's music, both of which are loved in Gay Culture, which draws the conclusion that saxophones are inherently gay. In this essay I will explore

Emotion, Carly Rae Jepson (2015)

Carly Rae Jepson’s Emotion is very, very polished pop. Every song has its own plethora of engineers, writers, backing singers and producers. For manufactured pop, its only really distinctive element is its comparative lack of popularity, but that doesn’t stop it being a good pop record.

‘Run Away with Me’ is as anthemic as could be expected from the opener of a modern pop album. Heavy beats, careful structuring and a catchy refrain make it a textbook successful modern chart-topping hit, with some oddly mystical synths set to differentiate it from the rest. ‘E.MO.TION’ and ‘I Really Like You’ are similarly stadium filling dance-pop tracks, even if the latter is a tad too sickly sweet and repetitive. ‘Gimmie Love’ offers lower-toned synth-pop, whereas ‘Boy Problems’ is relatively run-of-the-mill teen-bop.

It’s odd, but what Jepsen really lacks is an off-stage, out-of-studio personality. Nothing separates her from the rest – and there’s little identity to the music. These may be personal songs, but the listener would never know. The likes of Taylor Swift or Rihanna have their carefully managed public personas; but Jepsen’s attempt at ‘letting her music do the talking’ actually hinders her ability to communicate her personality to the audience. Context to a record is essential, and in pop it means even more.

Nonetheless, Emotion provides a set of genuinely enjoyable if never revolutionary pop tunes that are of a much higher quality than most that attempt it. Jepsen can sing well about topics that aren’t too repetitive or irritating; while the music behind her is meticulously built for maximum popular appeal with quirks that aren’t overbearing.
