Emotion

Emotion is the third studio album by Canadian singer and songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen. It was initially released on June 24, 2015, in Japan, and later was released internationally on August 21. Looking to transition from the bubblegum pop-oriented nature of her second studio album, Kiss, Jepsen found inspiration in 1980s music and alternative styles. She enlisted a team of mainstream and indie collaborators, including Sia, Mattman & Robin, Dev Hynes, Ariel Rechtshaid, Rostam Batmanglij, Greg Kurstin, and Peter Svensson of the Cardigans, culminating in a largely synth-pop-centric effort. Emotion received favourable reviews from music critics, who praised its pop escapism. The album debuted at number sixteen on the US Billboard 200 with 16,153 units. In Canada, it became her third top ten, peaking at number eight in Canada with 2,600 copies. The album fared better in Japan, debuting at number eight with 12,189 physical copies sold and subsequently being certified Gold by RIAJ for shipments exceeding 100,000 copies. The album was preceded by the release of its lead single, "I Really Like You", which reached top five in several territories including the United Kingdom and Japan.
