    Only phenomenal production alone makes it a 5 star worthy! Quantum mechanics was applied to reach such particle-level perfection, I think! Catchy as super hell.

    Carly Rae Jepsen has managed to accomplish something Taylor could not with "1989" - fantastic and consistent production.

    Pop album of the year, no questions asked.

    EMOTION is easily (along with Florence's How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful) the best album of 2015. Carly Rae Jepsen really worked so hard on this record, and the result of this hard work is apparent in each and every track. Not one song feels out-of-place; not one song is a filler track.

    The best pop album of 2015. Amazing. Deserves a 100. it's amazing how great this is. Pop music done good. It's a shame it hasn't gotten an actual hit because it's amazing.

    What an incredible album. With many influences including 80s pop, Carly Rae makes a huge leap into the right direction. It's extremely well written, produced, and contrived to leave the listener wanting more and more. There is no bad song on this record, and is in my opinion, a strong contender for Album of The Year. Although not commercially successful, the album is completely genius.What an incredible album. With many influences including 80s pop, Carly Rae makes a huge leap into the right direction.

    Best pop album so far in the year and third best album overall behind Bjork's Vulnicura and Kendrick's To Pimp a Butterfly. This is truly the best work by Carly Rae Jepsen ever, and it'll be hard to best this one.

    This emotion (i feel it). That's the only way to describe this album. Carly Rae Jepsen is an underrated pop genius. Never Get To Hold You, Gimmie Love, Warm Blood, +the rest of the album are the best ones. This one, and 1989 are the best pop albums from the last 3/4 years.

Desde a primeira faixa ''Run Away with Me'' ate a ultima ''Love Again'' podemos enxergar a evolução musical e o amadurecimento da cantora em comparação ao ultimo album ''Kiss''. Ela conseguiu construir um álbum pop maduro e com referencias oitentistas que superou qualquer álbum pop lançado nessa década. A Carly não é uma superstar mundialmente famosa, ou uma hitmarker com inúmeros hits ou uma grande diva do pop mas ela conseguiu sem duvidas trazer um álbum tão bom que qualquer artista pop gostaria de ter em sua carreira. Carly Rae Jepsen lançar um álbum pop tão bom como o E•MO•TION não é surpresa nenhuma, a Carly apenas de Call Me Maybe como é conhecida por muitos lançar um álbum como o E•MO•TION é uma grande surpresa, talvez um dia ela possa ser reconhecida pelo seu trabalho com um excelente álbum como é o E•MO•TION, e não por uma musica pop chiclete como Call Me Maybe, talvez assim eu ainda tenha esperança na humanidade.

    By far the best pop album released in 2015 and also in recent years. Carly really proved herself with this album, transitioning from the generic pop of Kiss (while still enjoyable,) she moves on to a range of pop styles; from 80's inspired synthpop and disco with some modern pop. An all around strong album, hope she continues on this cycle of focusing more on quality than success!

E•MO•TION is 80's pop GOLD, the production is filled with glittering and gleaming synths and beats, the writing is clever and matured, and (unlike with Kiss) it hits the point it was trying to reach perfectly. Highlights on the album include 'Run Away With Me', 'All That', 'Your Type', 'Let's Get Lost', 'Black Heart', and 'Love Again'. Well done Carly, you have a classic pop album under your belt!

    Carly continues to be underestimated ever since “Call Me Maybe” was released a few years ago. This album is outstanding and shows that she is much more than a one hit wonder. She is a true artist who wrote each and every song on this album and spent three years working on it. This is pure pop candy, an album that rivals Taylor Swift’s “1989” in both sophistication and catchiness.

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

    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.

    There is something so perfect about this album it's hard to place exactly what makes it stunning. The songs flow easily into one another with an infectious beat or soaring vocals to make every single one memorable. Even the weaker entries are enjoyable and the strongest entries are incredible.

    Carly brings emotion tracks 80, strong vocals, catchy melodies and amazing lyrics. Certainly a major milestone in his musical career and a work of art in the midst of so many generic songs that marked the pop in recent years.

    Taylor Swift who? Carly Rae Jepsen has created the best eighties inspired pop album of the decade thus far. Pop has been missing a creative voice, and I'm welcoming Carly with open arms. "Run Away with Me" is pop perfection.

    Woo! Finally! some good **** that bring it up vibes from 80's years. Heavy bass, Cindy Lauper sounds and techno vibes. The album is completely over the concept, all the songs fits perfectly (20 of them on deluxe edition). The album promotion was really bad, singles choices could have been better, it doesn't pull off any merit that this album have.

    E•MO•TION is one of those albums that you wanna hear over and over again, and each time you do that, you get yourself a new favourite track.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.
