Released 10 years ago this week, Carly Rae Jepsen’s album Emotion was a critic’s darling out the gate.
And — there’s just no getting around it — a big reason I love it so much is because it sounds as if it were borne from the continuously giving tree that is Carly Rae Jepsen’s Emotion .
But the album also contains a particular emotion (*ahem*) often underdiscussed when considering Jepsen’s appeal: earnest horniness.
And then the lush chorus lasers in from another world: a loud clap, then a steady funky groove, as Jepsen’s clarion vocals ring out through a wall of sound, pleading for her guy to “Gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love, gimmie love.”But it’s not just love she wants: “Gimmie touch / ‘Cause I want what I want, do you think that I want too much?“Absolutely not, Carly.
And “Gimmie Love” is the apex, a pure and blissful exercise in commiseration for anyone who’s ever burned with an intense passion which goes painfully unfulfilled.
