Carly Rae Jepsen

Carly Rae Jepsen is one of the most fascinating pop career stories of the past decade, and I mean that as the highest compliment. Sure, most people only know her as the "Call Me Maybe" woman — that absurdly catchy 2012 earworm that Justin Bieber tweeted into the stratosphere — but anyone who actually dug deeper discovered something genuinely special. Her 2015 album Emotion is, without exaggeration, one of the best pure pop records of that era: obsessive, emotionally precise, packed with hooks that somehow never feel cheap. She won the American Music Award for New Artist of the Year in 2012 and landed on Canada's Walk of Fame in 2013, which is all well and good, but her real legacy is the cult she built around meticulous, heartfelt songwriting that most mainstream pop refuses to attempt.
