Emotion
Carly Rae Jepsen

A couple of gay guys I worked with in about 2015 thought this chick was "a total queen". What I mean by that is they didn't actually think she was great or anything; they were just being snarky in that way that gay guys often are, pretending her songs were "jams" because they danced to them when they were high on MDMA, but they were fully aware it was mindless pop music and it was at least 80% irony. Gay shtick, basically. I don't find that sort of shit funny, tbh - at least not after about 5min. This album isn't "fun". It's just annoying pop music, and obviously she's trying to recapture the hit of her one big song the whole time here. Also, the whole album was written by Swedish guys, as per usual for this sort of mindless pop. Congrats to Carly Rae (yeehaw!) on writing most of the lyrics though. I guess it takes real artistry to come up with this crap. Really had to dig out the thesaurus, I bet. 2/5 get the fuck outta here.
