    Literal pop perfection and the best album of 2019, Carly Rae Jepsen once again shows us the true quality and beauty of pop.

    SHE SNAPS EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! This is such a cohesive and maturing album for Carly. Some might say that EMOTION is a better album, but they are just two very different albums. This album sounds exactly like how she described it, an album that you want to clean your house to. It's not a complicated concept, and it doesn't have to be.

    This album gives me the pop attitude that I have not seen on major pop artist's music in the past few years. Without being bias I think this is what pop should sound like. The sound of the album is energetic, rhythmic, and joyful but not reaching the point of being childish.

    Just created an account to rate this album because Carly is severely underrated. « Dedicated » is the album we needed to fall in love this summer. Now all I need to find is a guy named « Julien ».

    Un álbum lleno de creatividad y su mejor trabajo seguido de Emotions. Carly ha demostrado que ella tiene voz propia en el pop. Un gran album sin prejuicios y lleno de canciones memorables.

    From start to finish, this is pure pop perfection. Just like were Emotion and Emotion side B.

    Pure pop perfection. Jepsen does the impossible again and just like emotion, perfectly captures the highs and lows of pop music.

    Thanks to Carly that she came back and saved pop again! This is a rare but precious, simple but amazing, imperfect but perfect album that shows us Carly’s difference. A lot of tracks in the album are written by herself, as in every album, showing multiple talents of Carly that she’s also playing instruments and participating in the production of the songs as well.

Personally, my favorite track is Too Much, the single is literally Too Much for the music industry now, I suppose that’s why she can’t get the commercial success that she deserves. Expand

    Cohesive, well-rounded, perfect pop music. I fully enjoyed E-MO-TION when it came out and she has really come into her sound. An album full of really great pop jams.

    Let just say that this is not a Pop album... This album IS Pop. Stop sleeping on Carly Rae Jepsen people.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Such a delightful catalog of that pop that can be fresh, poppy, bubbly, playful, and so fun. Since the Julien, you can feel the amount of fun Carly Rae Jepsen had while making this album. The way she addresses topics like love, self-love, falling in love, and adoring someone is just unique. She is not afraid of showing her vulnerable (and sometimes a little bit weird) side. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dedicated is another tree where Carly Rae Jepsen blossoms, from the funky start of Julien to the slow vibes of 'No Drug Like Me' this album has so many flavors! 'Now That I Found You' bring backs the catchy pop she is known for and 'Want You In My Room' shows her sexy and mature side. 'Everything He Needs' brings a classic catchy sound to the table followed by the pop boost of 'Happy Not Knowing'. The most surprising song to me was: 'I'll Be Your Girl' which gives me rock-pop vibes. Followed by my fave single 'Too Much' which should be the song of the summer. The Sound brings a cute production and her voice has a little rasp in it too. 'Automatically in Love' is my favorite song of the album, which gives me major throwback vibes to the 90's and great songwriting. Carly's collab with Electric Guest does not disappoint and gives me summer vibes. Followed by 'Right Words Wrong Time' which gives me the same vibes as 'No Drug Like Me' slow but her vocals shine. Up next: 'Real Love' which brings back the sax as well as in 'Want You In My Room', a great closer to a standard version, really cute. 'For Sure' is heartbreaking but also is an anthem and totally fits a festival, with the handclaps and everything.
    Followed by Party For One which gives this album full circle, from an ode to 'Julien' and other love songs/heartbreak moments bring her back to herself.
    Love the production,songwriting and her voice, she keeps progressing every time.
    Album of the summer.... year... 2 years. till the next one, keep it going!

    Another collection of perfect pop from the legend that is Carly Rae Jepsen. She managed to keep her signature vibe, whilst still evolving further.
    This further solidifies her place as one of the most underrated artists in the entire industry.

    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.
