Artists Pay Tribute to Carly Rae Jepsen’s ‘Emotion’ Album
The pop singer’s third studio album is reimagined to raise money for a noble cause.
Carly Rae Jepsen’s album Emotion quickly became known as one of the best records of its genre when it was released back in 2015. Now in 2018, the LP’s beloved songs have gotten a makeover, in the form of a tribute album (titled EMO-TION) released by Something Merry.
