Carly Rae Jepsen

This artist first wormed her way into both indie and poptimist ears alike back in 2012 with her undeniably infectious breakout single, "Call Me Maybe." But with her glitzy sophomore effort E-MO-TION—which hit its titular peaks of heartbreak and adoration with soaring majesty—she graduated from one-hit wonder to a versatile and inventive star with staying power. Here she plays from a new release, Dedicated, a collection of tightly written pop songs that shimmers with a fevered beauty (though perhaps not quite as respendently as its predecessor).
