It's a Great Time to Be a Carly Rae Jepsen Fan

For unsuspecting Carly Rae Jepsen fans, Aug. 21 was going about just like any other steamy summer Sunday—except that it was the first anniversary of Emotion, CRJ's sorry-selling but critically beloved 2015 album. So while they were listening to Emotion's glimmering pop hooks to celebrate—possibly thinking, this album is all I need—Jepsen's afternoon tweet suddenly left them anticipating even more.

"Your anniversary present is coming" she tweeted. And in just five days (a millisecond for Jepsen die-hards), Carly dished out Emotion Side B, a collection of eight high-powered tracks that didn't make it onto Emotion. It was a treat we weren't asking for, but gobbled up nonetheless.

In fact, Jepsen has gifted fans with a lot more in the past year than just Emotion (which contained a whopping 15 tracks on the deluxe edition). She recorded a cover of Wham!'s "Last Christmas" and the theme to Fuller House; she appeared on Danny L Harle's "Super Natural" and Blood Orange's "Better Than Me"; and she took on the role as Frenchie in Fox's Grease! Live. That's not to mention all the shows and festivals that she absolutely crushed.
