Carly Rae Jepsen – “Your Type”
It’s Friday, which means Carly Rae Jepsen has released yet another E•MO•TION single. This means depending on whether you count the many bonus tracks, either more than half or almost half the album is out in the world now — unless the part of the world you inhabit is Japan or the internet, in which case the whole thing has been available for quite some time. “Your Type” is today’s offering, the whopping seventh song to be released from the album so far. It’s got a rippling synth undercurrent and a big melancholy/euphoric chorus, and if you close your eyes you might mistake it for a Chvrches single. Listen below.
E•MO•TION is out 8/21 via 604/School Boy/Interscope, and it’s crazy that after seven singles she still hasn’t released “Boy Problems” yet. Pre-order it at iTunes and get seven songs instantly, including “Run Away With Me,” my pick for the best pop song of 2015 so far.
