    Amo a Carly, porém esse álbum não dá amiga, salvo trees ou quatro musicas, as outras escuta uma vez, vai pra outra e acabo achando que ja escutei, repetitivo, a voz dela parece chata na maioria das músicas, parece um albúm de demos dispensadas pela selena na época chata dela.

    Without competition yet, E·MO·TION is the best album of the year by far, with its amazing production and Carly's outstanding vocal abilities, this album is pop perfection. Clever, catchy, it blows you away.

    GENTE DO CÉU, ESSE ALBUM É UMA OBRA DE ARTE, SIMPLESMENTE O MELHOR ALBUM DE 2015.
    ESPERO QUE A BANCADO DO GRAMMY PERCEBA O QUANTO ELE E DIVINO E DE O TÃO MERECIDO AOY PRA ELE PQ OLHA.... ELE MERECE VIU. CARLYZINHA GANHOU MUITOS PONTOS COMIGO. E•MO•TION É SIMPLESMENTE FANTASTICO!

    I'm not really a fan of Call Me Maybe. I found it kind of annoying and repetitive, another song from a one-hit wonder. E-MO-TION shows how very wrong I was. This is one of the best pop albums of the year, and it absolutely deserves the success of Call Me Maybe. It's much, much better.

    I must admit, I didn't have high hopes for her next album. But it surprised me! It's actually really good and really fun. It's well written and well produced. I love the 80s style here as well.

    My personal favourites are Run Away With Me, Emotion and Your Type

    Realmente su música es buen, hay que admitir eso. Los que pasa es que, no logro que su voz me guste del todo. Fuera de eso, el album es muy bueno, con algunas buenas canciones y algunas otras que dejan que desear.

    As a whole, the album offers a decent enough package; it's generic pop at it's simplest, and while it packs some excellent songs ("Run Away With Me" and "Gimmie Love") it also proves to have a fair number of dud's ("Let's Get Lost" and "Black Heart" as well as the title track) yet as an album it's something which I would happily listen to, albeit skipping a couple of tracks.

    This album is so much fun. It's like a blast from the past drawing on the 80's dance scene while still staying true to today's pop sound. Such an improvement over her last album, that it shines a new light on Jepsen and makes me hope that there will be more great albums from her in the future.

    This effort by Rae Jepsen is definitely making us firmly believe in her as an artist, more than we ever did. E-Mo-Tion is a combination of great and accessible lyrics, great production,and ,as it implies, a lot of emotion. I dare to say it is one of the best POP records of the year and utterly, the most underrated.

    Even though Taylor Swift 1989's profitability has not waned off, the pop music market has to keep on the moving.

Carly Rae Jepsen's E·MO·TION seems to be its next natural step forward, as it is an album that exploits perfectly a well established formula that everyone enjoys: a glittering synthpop with a mix of eighties' italo disco to notch things a little bit up. Former Canadian Idol star, Miss Jepsen delivers the goods quite effectively and coherently, specially in the joyfully opening track, "Run Away with Me", and the subsequent "E·MO·TION"; a little bit down the road in the catchy, Sia Furler co-written track "Boy Problems", and towards the end in "Warm Blood", a somewhat more serious song produced by Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij. Lyrically, the songs are not brainy: shallow verses that allude to romance, relationships and breakups, problems that teenagers –the audience of choice, but not necessarily– dwell on. But despite the superficiality, the record deserves attention: Carly Rae Jepsen and the production team she surrounded herself with accomplished something good here.… Expand

    An amazingly solid pop album full of super catchy songs!!! Carly managed to top her previous album, without just recreating the same thing! With a big track list of 17 songs, each one manages to be different yet cohesive, as Carly works her magic onto them all!

    Not in a million years would I have ever thought Carly Rae Jepsen could release a perfect pop record. Unique, original & filler-free, EMOTION is the best pop record released in 2015.

    Overall, this is a superb album. I can listen to the songs over and over and they don't get old. The whole album is so cohesive with a great sonic range. This is an amazing modern pop accomplishment.

    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.

    Lousy album, the only people who like this crap are girls whose ages range from 10-14. The only reason I didn't give it a zero is because Carly can sing, so if all you're looking for is an album by an artist with a good voice this is the one for you. If want to actually listen to real music, don't waste your time with this crap.

    The second best pop album of the year. If it wasn't for LA Hallucinations, the album would be flawless.
    Best songs: Warm Blood, Run Away With Me, Emotion, All That, Gimmie Love.
    Worst and only bad song: LA Hallucinations.

    She don't need no masks. She don't need no pretension. That's exactly what she does: bubblegum pop music, and she's doing it BIG! She's really exposing some emotion in this album, I can perfectly feel her girl feelings about life, love and stuff. Congrants on Carly Rae Jepsen for making Teen Pop alive!

    If I Really Like You was not on this album it would be a zero for sure. I was bored, and the songs kind of sounded the same after listening to them all.

    Sin duda el mejor de pop que he escuchando en un largo tiempo. Cada canción contiene algo que la hace imposible de ignorar. La voz de carly me impresiono mucho y me encanto. Felicitaciones en este album que llevo años en realización. RUN AWAY WITH ME. una obra maestra del POP.

    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!

    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.

    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.
