E•MO•TION
''Emotion'' (stylized as ''E•MO•TION'') is the third studio album by Canadian singer and songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen. It was released on June 24, 2015, in Japan and on August 21, 2015, worldwide through 604, School Boy, and Interscope Records. Looking to transition from the bubblegum pop-oriented nature of her second studio album, ''Kiss'' (2012), Jepsen found inspiration in 1980s music and alternative styles.

The album underperformed worldwide, debuting at number sixteen on the ''Billboard'' 200 with 16,153 units. However, in Jepsen's home country, it became her third top ten, pe ...
