I call it Christmas versus expectation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cChristmas holiday is my favourite time of year. I love it,\u201d says Jepsen.\u00a0 \u201cBut so often emotions run high and expectation versus reality is something I\u2019d like to shed some light on and hopefully some laughs too in the process. So if you are lucky enough to get to be with the ones that matter most to you this year- embrace it! And if things go south just remember, \u201cthe secret is to sing a little song to survive&#8230; that it\u2019s not Christmas till somebody cries!\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is the Canadian artist\u2019s second gift to fans this year. In May, she released &#8216;Dedicated Side B&#8217;, a sleek set of dance-pop pleasures filled with all the unbridled optimism Jepsen first displayed on her 2012 debut album &#8216;Kiss&#8217;. The album is a companion piece to 2019\u2019s &#8216;Dedicated&#8217;, which features the buoyant singles \u201cParty for One,\u201d \u201cNow That I Found You,\u201d and the Jack Antonoff-produced \u201cWant You in My Room\u201d\u2014all of which were named among the top songs of the year by outlets including Rolling Stone, Billboard, Stereogum, and Pitchfork.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Carly Rae Jepsen\u2019s pristine, prismatic pop has long been the blissful soundtrack for first kisses and swirling romances, but the multi-platinum Grammy, Juno and Polaris Prize nominated Canadian star\u2019s knack for distilling a sea of emotions into brilliant songcraft has wooed critics as deeply as fans. The singer, songwriter, and actress first burst onto the international scene in 2012 with the sly and sublime \u201cCall Me Maybe.\u201d That blockbuster hit from her breakthrough album, &#8216;Kiss&#8217;, topped charts in over 47 countries, sold over 20 million singles, and was certified Diamond in the U.S. It also earned her two Grammy nominations for Best Pop Solo Performance and Song of the Year. Since then, she\u2019s amassed even more acclaim across the music spectrum. On her 2015 synth-pop stunner &#8216;E*MO*TION&#8217;, Jepsen collaborated with Sia, Blood Orange\u2019s Dev Hynes, and Rostam Batmanglij (Vampire Weekend), expanding her sonic palette with shimmery synths and euphoric dance beats that channel the sugary rush of new flirtations. Noisey declared it the pop album of the year, while the beaming single \u201cI Really Like You\u201d went platinum. Her 2019 follow-up, &#8216;Dedicated&#8217;, covered even more musical and emotional ground, as our most hopeful romantic continued to chase her bliss through a breakup. The Atlantic called the album \u201cbrilliant\u201d with its \u201cgodlike bops.\u201d Jepsen returned again in May 2020 with a gift for her fans: Dedicated Side B, a buoyant set of dance-floor candy that affirmed her status as pop\u2019s undefeatable ambassador of love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Day 20 of The Essential Advent Calendar, pop dynamo Carly Rae Jepsen brings some much-needed Yuletide cheer a little early with her cheeky new song \u201cIt\u2019s Not Christmas Till Somebody Cries,\u201d out on 604\/Schoolboy\/Interscope Records.
