    Another amazing album from underrated Queen of Pop. She served talent again.

    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? You create another masterpiece — more mature, more refined, more adventurous.

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

    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.

    Carly's songwriting is evolving with every project she releases, it's just that with this album some songs can be better and to an extent should be cut to make the album stronger.

    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!

    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.

    an Ode to Disco music that shines in a scenario where pop music is falling down on popular taste. Carly Rae managed to once again cement her space as an hipster diva and pop star for young adults. Cohesive and polished. This album is 00% what fans expected of Carly Rae Jepsen

    Dedicated is naturally the best pop album of 2019. I dare to say it's even better than E•MO•TION! She evolved so much, sounds more mature and cohesive. Production is 10/10, synthpop perfection. Happy Not Knowing is a bopppp

    Carly has found her place in pop music. On the verge of indie and radio bliss, "Dedicated" is a jam-packed celebration of her pop songwriting talents.

    Dedicated is a tour de force of immaculate sound, cohesiveness, melodic beauty and mesmerizing production. It's an album that passes as a playlist of various artists that have peculiar but uniform sound and one that can be played in any mood you're in. Essential listens: Feels Right, Want You in My Room, No Drug Like Me, Automatically In Love, For Sure

    Carly como sempre entregando nada menos que a perfeição! Ainda não entendo como essa mulher é tão subestimada. Cada canção desse álbum traz um toque de originalidade onde Carly não deixa sua essencial de lado. Um álbum coeso que toca diretamente o coração de viadinhos apaixonados e sofridos. É isso galera. TACA STREAM NESSA LENDA!!!!

    Dedicated is not my favorite album of hers but it is a fantastic album. This is one of my favorite albums of 2019. Her voice on the album is just as stupendous as it always is.

    The first half of the album is actually quite entertaining and good. I think that "Too Much" and Tracks 10-12 are probably the only tracks that I don't like. The second half overall is just underwhelming to me. A lot of tracks on the album are underproduced, which is never a good sign.

    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.
