The Rewind
A look back at a favorite from (at least five) years past
E·MO·TION
Carly Rae Jepsen
Dance-Pop | 2015
I have mentioned many times on this site that if I had one regret in my years of making year-end lists, it would be to include this album in the 2015 list. And prominently. Like…top 3 (To Pimp a Butterfly and Carrie & Lowell came out that year too). But, since times arrow neither slows nor reverses, this meager penance is all I can offer.
