In April, Jepsen performed “I Really Like You” and Pitchfork’s “Best New Track” “All That” on Saturday Night Live. The former earned the Canadian singer and songwriter a host of positive reviews with SPIN calling it “upbeat, frothy, and carefree,” PEOPLE deeming it an “instant classic” and BuzzFeed declaring it “completely perfect…pop perfection.” E·MO·TION was recorded and produced in Los Angeles, New York, and Stockholm. Jepsen co-wrote the album with several A-list producers and co-writers, including Sia, Greg Kurstin (Kelly Clarkson “Stronger”), Peter Svensson (Cardigans, and Ariana Grande “Love Me Harder”), Ariel Rechtshaid (Haim, Madonna, Vampire Weekend, Major Lazer), Mattman & Robin (Tove Lo, Taylor Swift), Carl and Rami (Ariana Grande “One Last Time”), Rostam Batmanglij (Vampire Weekend), Devonté Hynes (Blood Orange), Shellback (Maroon 5, Taylor Swift) and more.

I was lucky enough to work with some of my favourite writers and producers and together we made a collection of songs that I couldn't be more proud of,” says Jepsen. E·MO·TION is the follow-up to Jepsen’s album Kiss, which featured her blockbuster break-out hit “Call Me Maybe”. “Call Me Maybe” climbed to No. 1 on the iTunes Singles charts in over 47 countries and has sold over 17 million singles worldwide to date. Kiss earned Jepsen three 2013 Juno Awards including Song Of The Year, Album Of The Year and Pop Album Of The Year as well as 2012 GRAMMY nominations for Best Pop Solo Performance and Song of the Year. Carly Rae Jepsen is the recipient of the 2013 Canada’s Walk of Fame Allan Slaight Award.
