Better Day 5,766 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 As we know, Carly Rae Jepsen keeps releasing bops as a “indie darling”. In the last year I’ve fallen in love with CRJ a lot more. Just makes you think, what caused CRJ to be so underrated and what would of “saved” her career? I would of released Cut To The Feeling as the lead single off of Emotion and kept I Really Like You as a song left in the vaults. Together You And I!

DelusionalGaga 29,579 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I'm not sure there's anything she could've have done about it. I think the reason why hasn't been able to sustain a mainstream career is because Call Me Maybe was such a gigantic hit to the point that it became a meme, so that people couldn't take the song or her as an artist serious. That song will always overshadow everythink she does. Which is a shame, because she's an incredible artist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameltoe Chariot 15,151 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Run Away With Me as the lead single from EMOTION, with the video budget I Really Like You got I Really Like You had a lot of buzz at release but everyone felt like it sounded just like Call Me Maybe. It was a terrible judgement on her management's side, and derailed the rest of the album. At least it found it's place as a cult classic and will live on forever in that regard!

Releasing something like CTTF or RAWM would of been something different for her Together You And I! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatican 4,046 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Better single choices and maybe more collaborations. If she’d debuted alongside Katy/Gaga/Kesha in 2008 she probably would’ve had a much bigger career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 26,768 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I think her sound is really "sweet bubblegum pop" and this sound has been dying since 2011/2021 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatelynnMarie 4,406 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I'm not sure, but all I know is I'm glad the GP didn't swallow her up in a way. EMOTION is one of the greatest pop albums in our generation. The GP is so, if there was a worse description of basic that I could think of, I'd use it, but they are that. CMM was this MASSIVE hit and if the GP saw her as a joke, it's their loss and shows the absolute naivety and lack of musical taste. This doesn't just go for Carly, this goes for essentially the majority of musicians out there. I guess this had nothing to do with OP's question, I'm sorry. It just was a thought I wanted to express Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipAway 880 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 She literally could have (y can’t u type would instead of of) released any song off Emotion instead of IRLY and SMASH off the hype alone. They are so stupid. Releasing IRLY in 2015 when we were already vibing to Panda and Trap Queen. Carly deserved better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThisGuyTony 30,244 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Scooter forced her to record Kiss in 2 months, and in the end, it was way too generic. IRLY tried to replicate CMM (even Scooter admitted that ) and was not a good lead single choice for that reason since it seemed she was stuck with her debut era image and sound. As others said, releasing any other song from the record would have showcased better maturity and growth. But at the same time, 2015 was a weird mix of what was topping the charts so idk if she would have been as successful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah 26,941 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 They didnt milk her CMM Album enough.All of its singles tanked and needed to be pushed harder. IRLY would've been a nice second single, but the Label stopped backing Emotions after it flopped. Honestly more Label Support would've changed her career. ⟡ ⋆ ˚｡⋆🦢⋆ ˚｡⋆⟡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
