Background

[編輯]

Jepsen's second studio album was initially planned to be released on February 14, 2012; however, she chose not to release it because she wanted to make sure she "got the second CD right. I think I got a little nervous about the idea of the sophomore being a little less-than because it's so rushed. So I wanted to give myself the time to not feel that pressure."[1] She then worked with songwriter Josh Ramsay（英語：Josh Ramsay） and producer Ryan Stewart on most of the album's tracks.[1] Jepsen's songwriting process was inspired by her life and friends.[2] After the recording sessions were completed, Curiosity was announced as a full-length album,[1] with a digital release date confirmed for February 14, 2012.[3] A few days before its official release, however, the label decided to change the format of the album, turning it into an extended play.[1]

Composition

[編輯]

The EP opens with "Call Me Maybe", an upbeat track that draws influences from dance-pop and R&B.[6] The clever lyrics of the song describes the "infatuation and inconvenience of a love at first sight," as described by Bill Lamb of About.com.[7] During the pre-chorus, the singer states, "Ripped jeans, skin was showing/Hot night, wind was blowing/Where you think you’re going, baby?"[6] As the chorus begins, the background incorporates synthesized string chords, and she sings, "Hey, I just met you, And this is crazy, But here's my number, So call me maybe."[7][8] Melody Lau of Rolling Stone wrote that "Call Me Maybe" is a "Taylor Swift meets Robyn" song.[9] The title track, "Curiosity", has a similar sound to "Call Me Maybe", and features heavy dance beats and catchy hooks.[10] In the song, Jepsen sings about being poorly treated by a bad boy, and begs for more of his love.[4] "Picture" is a ballad that focuses on patience in a relationship.[5] Critics noted that the song would work well during the climax of a motion picture due to its lyrical content.[10] "Talk to Me" and "Just a Step Away" were both described as mid-tempo pop songs that alludes to summer love, teen love and that first crush.[4][5] Fiona Eadie of Cadence Canada noted that in both tracks, Carly is able to transcend the listener "to a porch swing or riding a bicycle along an old dirt road in the countryside’s summer sunshine. Her voice sings the highs and lows of love and everything that comes along with it."[4] The final song is a cover of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now（英語：Both Sides, Now）". Musically, the song is also an upbeat ballad, and differs from the original version in the sense that Jepsen's version is "fresh and modern with her unique bubblegum twist."[4] Critics also added that Jepsen will be able to "attract a new generation to this widely recognized hit" with her "unique version."[5]

Curiosity received generally positive reviews from contemporary critics. Bill Lamb of About.com began his review stating that it is always interesting to have new artists making music both familiar and fresh. He went to describe the six "electronic pop songs strong, almost too short to be satisfying but immensely repeatable."[10] Lamb also added that Jepsen's "style is summery and bright without the emotional bogging down of [Demi] Lovato or the flat out drudgery of Jessie J"[10] Allmusic critic Jon O'Brien stated that, when compared to Jepsen's previous effort Tug of War（英語：Tug of War (Carly Rae Jepsen album)） (2008), the EP "unexpectedly abandons her previous singer/songwriter approach in favor of an unashamed bubblegum sound which harks back to the early 2000s pop princess glory days of Britney, Christina, Jessica, and Mandy."[11] Fiona Eadie of Cadence Canada described the musical style of the album as "pop. But not in the annoying, auto-tune（英語：auto-tune）, and talentless way. Her perfectly pitched voice makes it clear that this girl has real talent."[4] Eadie summarized her review saying that Curiosity "is filled with music that dances. And it is your choice to listen to it with or without a hairbrush (a.k.a. microphone) in front of your bedroom mirror. Overall a great EP. I can’t wait to put the top down and blast her tunes all summer."[4] Jen Appel of idobi Radio（英語：idobi Radio） commented that, overall, Curiosity is the kind of extended play that brings attention from the teenage public due to its mainstream songs（英語：mainstream radio）, and added, "if you are looking for fun, lovable songs to make you smile, this is your go-to mix."[5] Appel only criticized the lyrical content, noting that it is "very childish but seem to work with the music nonetheless."[5]

Singles

[編輯]

"Call Me Maybe" was released as the lead single（英語：lead single） from the EP on September 20, 2011.[12] After pop singers Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez tweeted about the song, Jepsen gained international attention and was signed to Schoolboy Records（英語：Schoolboy Records）, releasing her single in the United States through the label.[13] The song received generally positive reviews from contemporary critics, who praised its composition and clever lyrical content, while deeming it as the perfect pop song.[7][14] "Call Me Maybe" has attained commercial success worldwide, topping the charts in several countries, and is one of the best-selling singles of all time, with over 12.5 million copies sold.[15] An accompanying music video portrays Jepsen trying to gain attention from her attractive neighbor, who is revealed to be gay at the close of the story.[6] To promote the song, Jepsen has performed on several live televised shows, including on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where she made her US television debut, and at the MTV Europe Music Awards.[16][17]

"Curiosity（英語：Curiosity）" was released as the second single on May 1, 2012.[18] Jepsen shot a video for the song on June 5, 2012 with director Colin Minihan.[19] The music video was not released, and leaked on November 25, 2012.[19] According to the description of the leak, "this video was shelved because it was "too sexy" for her new tween demographic."[19] On March 26, 2012, Jepsen visited WBBM-FM（英語：WBBM-FM）'s Morning Show and performed the two singles.[20] On the last week of January 2013, the singer filmed an acoustic performance of the song in Tokyo exclusively for Billboard.[21]
