Carly Rae Jepsen in Concert
After multi-platinum Grammy, Juno and Polaris Prize nominated singer/songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen released her critically acclaimed album E·MO·TION in 2015, it became "a modern touchstone for a new crop of pop-leaning artists and legacy acts," as NPR noted. The album also inspired an abundance of memes — extending the cultural cachet that Jepsen earned from the ubiquity of her GRAMMY® -nominated blockbuster hit "Call Me Maybe" (from her U.S debut album Kiss), which not only climbed to No. 1 on the iTunes Singles charts in over 47 countries, sold over 20 million singles worldwide, and was certified Diamond in the U.S., but was referenced by everyone from former secretary-of-state Colin Powell to Cookie Monster.
Jepsen's most recent album, 2019's Dedicated, retains the joyful, hook-filled feeling of its predecessor. But where E*MO*TION was an '80s-influenced synth-pop classic that Rolling Stone called "a pop masterclass" and Stereogum called "indisputable, unfuckwithable pop genius," Dedicated has a more '70s-inspired feel at times, though the album defies categorization as a whole, with Vulture stating, "Dedicated is both stranger and freer than the last record, but it also feels more confident and considered." Working with a crew of trusted songwriters and producers, among them John Hill, Jack Antonoff, Captain Cuts, Patrik Berger, and her longtime collaborator Tavish Crowe, Jepsen indulged in more sonic experimentation than she had in the past. Dedicated features the fan favorites "Party For One," "Now That I Found You," "No Drug Like Me" and "Julien."
Jepsen landed the lead role in the 2014 Broadway production of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella and later starred as the iconic Pink Lady, "Frenchy," in FOX's four-time EMMY award winning musical GREASE: LIVE. Jepsen voiced the character of Odette in the animated movie "LEAP!," which also featured Jepsen's song "Cut To The Feeling."
Carly Rae Jepsen on Tour
Following the release of Dedicated Jepsen embarked on a global tour playing to audiences in North America, Japan, China, Australia, Canada and Europe. Jepsen will return to the U.S. later this year for performances at Coachella and Governor's Ball.
Great voice, great songs great opening act Ralph.
Danced all night! I go to a lot of concerts, but this one is one of my favourites i've ever been to!
I wasn't sure what to expect from Carly Rae Jepsen live, but I was pleased to see her adorable, awkward personality come out in the songs and her dancing. Carly and the band have incredible stage presence and doesn't need a flashy set to get the crowd going. It's great to see a show where people are dancing even with theatre seating.
Carly Rae is inspiring and energetic. Her showmanship is really great. I couldn’t imagine how she could keep her voice for a concert lasting more than an hour. Most fans or audiences stood for almost the whole show even though they were all provided with seats. She is really a great Canadian pop music performer.
I go to a lot of shows and this was easily the best of the year. Perfect venue, perfect crowd. World class performance.
Amazing performer and incredible energy! The audience was living for CRJ!
Great show of a now fully formed, confident Dance Diva who has transcended her Canadian Idol and ‘Justin Bieber protege’ pasts to become one of the leading forces in sophisticated yet accessible, infectiously fun 2010s pop music. Amazing costumes and working stage skills!! I just wish there was a little more fun chat/banter and a few more intimat electro pop ballad moments but I think this may be down to super enthusiastic fans screaming out the lyrics at every opportunity rather than Carly’s set list.
Carly and her music has a way of moving a room of people very effectively. The crowd was awesome and the music was even better!
Been to every show, and Carly is the very best every time. Good job Carly! :)
