#1994 Carly Rae Jepsen - Emotion

Jepsen's latest is everything pop should be: catchy, well-produced, addictive. She's cute just shy of cloying, flashing a heart when there's four on the board, winding through sampler of M83/Cut Copy late 00's electronic sweep and scope and swoon. Around the 3rd time I listened to it, once it got good and familiar, it stole cycles and dulled the world right good.

But this is pure pop backsolved from the chorus, no alarms and no surprises, no traps like the ones Lorde, Grimes, or SwiffyT conditioned us to hope for. By the time I hit track 7 of 14 (!) I'm getting restless, applicator hitting the backstop 3/5
