Canadian pop artist Carly Rae Jepsen is known as a pretty good girl. She makes no-nonsense pop with eighties influences, child- and radio-friendly. Although she tried to take a different path on her previous album - she hung on a vaper for a week to create a hoarse voice - she once again sounded unbeatably catchy and solid. And why not just embrace it, right? Indeed, Mrs. Jepsen has no aura around
… her like a or , but strokes your eardrums in a very pleasant way with her bubble gum doll. Her songs often have a musical vibe, a continuous splash of sweetness and cheerfulness. Everything He Needs forms the prize track on this album, in which the Canadian takes a closer look at the subject of the obsessive girlfriend and turns it on so much that it takes on genius forms. The nice thing about Jepsen is that she never sounds soggy (no dull ballads here), which makes her music feel like a genuine portion of feel-good pop. (JvQ)more
