  • Carly Rae Jepsen Drops New Single ‘Warm Blood’, New Album Coming

    Canadian singer and songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen gifts us with another taste of her upcoming album E•MO•TION. This new single dubbed “Warm Blood” stayed true to the album’s theme that features a new breed of ‘80s-inspired pop songs.

    “Warm Blood” follows “I Really Like You” and “Run Away With Me” as the frontrunners of Jepsen’s summer album. This new single has an electro-pop feel to it that becomes better as the synth kicks in.

    The new album has Jepsen calling all the shots, from the theme right down to the release. E•MO•TION was presumably due for an early 2014 release but Carly Rae opted not to rush the album to assure its quality.

    Now, the Canadian Idol 2nd-runner up plans to premiere a new track off her album every Friday leading up to Aug. 21.

    These new array of tracks could potentially put Jepsen in a new light. The pop star was judged as a one hit wonder after the release of the hit single “Call Me Maybe.” The song was tagged as a novelty and considered to have only been commercially successful due to its catchiness.

    Her second album Kiss—which many critics are calling the best pop album of the year—didn’t receive the commercial success it deserved and only sold 289,000 copies in the U.S.

    Despite her underrated status, Jepsen continues to write and create her own brand of music, evolving herself and the pop genre in the process.

    “My desire now is to see how far I can stretch pop,” said Jepsen.

    This third album shows more mainstream promise as its filled with not only songs of substance, but also songs perfect for radio and sing-alongs.

  • Carly Rae Jepsen Gets Help From Justin Bieber To Promote Her New Song

    Carly Rae Jepsen has finally followed up her super-popular and incredibly catchy 2011 hit, Call Me Maybe.

    Carly Rae Jepsen’s new song, “I Really Like You”, is just as catchy, if not more, and apparently the young elite love it.

    Justin Bieber took it upon himself to help Carly Rae Jepsen, a fellow Canadian whom Bieber signed to his label in 2012, promote her infectious new song.

    Bieber made his own crazy video of Carly Rae Jepsen‘s “I Really Like You” featuring other young stars like Kendall Jenner, Ariana Grande, Moschino designer Jeremy Scott, Empire actor Bryshere Gray, and even Lance Bass of N*Sync fame.

    The young stars recorded themselves dancing wildly and singing along to Carly Rae Jepsen’s hit in various locations of Justin Bieber’s home.

    Some of the antics take place by the pool and others inside his house.

    It’s somewhat of a departure from Carly Rae Jepsen’s official video for “I Really Like You”, which stars Tom Hanks and Justin Bieber.

    Justin Bieber’s posting of his video for Carly Rae Jepsen’s poppy song is credited for a boost on the Billboard charts with a brief stint at number one on the list of trending tracks.

    Of course, that’s not all that Justin Bieber has been up to.

    Besides promoting Carly Rae Jepsen, he has been keeping his rumored girlfriend, Kendall Jenner, company.

    Recently, the two were spotted at the Coachella music festival together with their friend Hailey Baldwin.

    They freely shared their good times on Instagram.

    What did you think of Justin Bieber’s take on Carly Rae Jepsen’s new song?

  • Carly Rae Jepsen’s ‘I Really Like You’ Gets Lip-Synced By Justin Bieber — Must-See!

    Lip Sync Battle might be held accountable for the popularity of lip syncing these days. And this time around, Carly Rae Jepsen’s single “I Really Like You” is getting the lip dubbed treatment.

    In a recently uploaded YouTube clip that’s already starting to generate views, Justin Bieber and a bunch of his pals are hamming it up to Jepsen’s new single.

    The video shows a shirtless Bieber dancing, flexing his muscles and lip syncing Jepsen’s song, along with friends like Ariana Grande and her Big Brother brother Frankie, Kendall Jenner, Empire’s Bryshere Y. Gray, Lance Bass, the boys of Rixton and a host of other people. Even Kendall Jenner’s dog has gotten into the act.

    This is the second time that Bieber has made his own lip dub of his friend’s song. The “Baby” singer also did a clip of himself lip syncing Jepsen’s previous hit “Call Me Maybe.”

    That show of support was probably instrumental in making the song 2012’s “Song of the Summer.” Jepsen reciprocated by headlining Bieber’s Believe tour.

    But the real video for Jepsen’s “I Really Like You” is as star-studded as Bieber’s just-for-fun YouTube vid.

    Megastar Tom Hanks, THE Tom Hanks, appears in the original video, lip syncing and dancing up a storm in front of the Mondrian Hotel in Manhattan. Bieber has a cameo at the end.

    Jepsen herself seems surprised that happened but Hanks had only nice things to say about the singer.

    “She’s a nice girl. We had a good time,” the award winning actor said.

    It’s really a mystery for the ages how “I Really Like You” has spawned a Nine Inch Nails mashup, got Tom Hanks to dance and now has Bieber’s pseudo opus, just weeks after being released. The song isn’t even in the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100 charts (it’s currently sitting at number 80.)

    But who knows, maybe the song will hit number 1 soon, thanks to Bieber and friends.

  • Carly Rae Jepsen Releases New Single, ‘All That’ On ‘Saturday Night Live’

    Carly Rae Jepsen fans were in for a treat this weekend. The ‘Call Me Maybe’ singer released a new single on Saturday Night Live. Jepsen premiered ‘All That’ following her performance of ‘I Really Like You.’ ‘I Really Like You’ was released in music video format last month, and features Tom Hanks, Justin Bieber, and more, dancing along with Jepsen.

    During her SNL performance, Carly Rae Jepsen was joined on stage by Blood Orange’s Dev Hynes and Ariel Rechtshaid, who produced the song.

    USA Today reports that ‘All That’ is a total 360 from her bubblegum ‘Call Me Maybe’ days. In fact, they compare it with Prince and his performance of ‘Purple Rain.’

    Check out Carly Rae Jepsen with Tom Hanks and Justin Bieber, performing ‘I Really Like You.’

    Do you really like Carly Rae Jepsen’s latest song? Did you catch her on Saturday Night Live this weekend?

  • Tom Hanks Stars in Carly Rae Jepsen’s ‘I Really Like You’ Video and It Is Epic [WATCH]

    Tom Hanks stars in Carly Rae Jepsen’s music video for her new single, I Really Like You, and it is epic.

    In an interview with Access Hollywood, Carly Rae Jepsen explained how it all went down.

    Carly Rae Jepsen said her first meeting with Tom Hanks at manager Scooter Braun’s wedding was just a little awkward.

    “There was a hummingbird in one of the tents and everyone was trying to free the hummingbird from the tent, and I saw a man grab a broom and I guess he was trying to move the tent so the bird could run free,” she said. “But in my mind – I may have had a cocktail or two— I thought he was going to attack the bird with the broom.

    “So I ran over to him and I grabbed his arm and I was like, ‘Don’t hurt the bird!’ and he turned around and I was like, ‘Tom Hanks!’ So that’s how we said hello,” she continued. “And then I met his wife Rita [Wilson] and we hit it off. It was a nice little exchange – but nothing serious.”

    Carly Rae said it was during a dinner between her manager and Tom Hanks that a “miracle” occurred.

    “I wanted something Wes Anderson, kind of dark. Something to counter-balance how sweet the song was. And I had an idea that it would be great to have a male lead not just co-star, but like, sing the entire thing, something totally unexpected,” she said, adding that it was then the “miracle” happened. “Scooter was telling the story to Tom over dinner, because like I said they are friends. I wasn’t there but Tom apparently said ‘Well why not me, why didn’t you ask me?’”

    Carly Rae Jepsen had nothing but praise for Tom Hanks during the shoot.

    “The entire day he just wowed me,” she said. “I don’t think he knows that he’s Tom Hanks! He’s the sweetest, kindest, most humble man you’ve ever met. [He was] out in the freezing cold, singing my song take after take while I was in the trailer with my hot chocolate being like, ‘Good job, Tom. Do it again. He worked so hard and was in such good spirits. I don’t think the video could have come out better.”

  • Carly Rae Jepsen Has New Song You Might Really, Really, Really, Really Like

    Carly Rae Jepsen has been off of the musical radar for quite a while.

    In fact, I know it doesn’t seem like it, but 2011 was the year that saw the mega-hit “Call Me Maybe” take over radio and internet.

    Now, four years later, Carly Rae Jepsen is gearing up to take it all over again.

    Carly Rae Jepsen released a new single, called “I Really Like You”, and you just might like it back.

    It seems Carly Rae Jepsen finally made a song that might overtake “Call Me Maybe” in popularity.

    “I told her that she couldn’t come out with anything unless it was on the level of ‘Call Me Maybe,’” Jepsen’s manager Scooter Braun told Billboard in January. “And, now we have a new one that is on that level.”

    One of the most awesome parts of Carly Rae Jepsen’s new song is definitely the video.

    The video for “I Really Like You” stars none other than the great Tom Hanks.

    It seems Tom Hanks ended up in Carly Rae Jepsen’s video after a night of drinking.

    “I was at dinner with friends of ours who works with Carly and they said, ‘We were maybe going to ask you if you’d want to do this thing,’ and I literally had a beer in my hand and I said, ‘Yeah sure I’ll do it,’” Hanks told ET. “And that was it! Next thing I know, boom! Carly Rae Jepsen video.”

    Tom Hanks is apparently friends with Scooter Braun, Carly Rae Jepsen’s manager. He attended Braun’s wedding last year, where he famously jumped onstage to perform Montel Jordan’s hit “This Is How We Do It” with the band.

    I guess Tom Hanks parties harder than I thought he would!
