Carly Rae Jepsen may not be the most prolific pop star, but when she releases an album, she makes it count. On 2015's E-MO-TION, she proved just how much more there was to her music than "Call Me Maybe" as she expanded the sugar rush of 2012's Kiss into pop songs that were equally joyous and introspective. Four years after E-MO-TION, she makes another leap forward with Dedicated, an album that reflects her growing maturity as a songwriter as well as the pop music trends of its time. Jepsen trades E-MO-TION's deep dive into '80s nostalgia for a more streamlined approach on "No Drug Like Me" and "Automatically in Love," where swelling synths and loping beats nod to tropical pop while adding sophistication to her swooning lyrics.
Dedicated is the upcoming fourth studio album by Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen. It is scheduled to be released on May 17, 2019, through 604, School Boy and Interscope Records. The album was preceded by the release of the single "Party for One", a dual single consisting of "Now That I Found You" and "No Drug Like Me", "Julien", and the promotional single "Too Much". The album will be supported by The Dedicated Tour.
