Slow jams, smash hits and Popeye samples: Carly Rae Jepsen's 20 best songs – ranked!

Carly Rae Jepsen loves to squirrel away killer songs for her now-standard B-side collections. The opener to The Loveliest Time (the companion to 2022's The Loneliest Time) evinces several CRJ trademarks: a love of odd production in the drily funky guitar and playful percussion, breathy falsetto – and obsessive, intense lyrics about being willing to do anything for love. You can plot Jepsen songs on a spectrum of 'laser-eyed intensity' to 'dreamy reverie'. This Kiss, from her first pop album Kiss (after her dreary post-Canadian Idol debut, 2008's Tug of War), epitomises the former, with EDM-era synths that rattle and gleam like arcade machines and a sledgehammer vocal performance about wanting forbidden pleasures. CRJ is a fiend for pure sensation who literally called an album Emotion: often her lyrics skip over any specific object of affection and cut straight to the feeling, as a song later in this list spells out. So when she sings 'he never wants to strip down to his feelings' on this pained ballad from Emotion Side B, you know it's terminal. Anyone who's only ever heard the radioactively perky Call Me Maybe and (wrongly) considers CRJ a one-hit wonder might be stunned to learn that she's elite at genuinely sultry come-ons. No Drug Like Me lives up to its narcotic premise – a risky cliche to sell – with its slinky, muted boogie and Jepsen's gasped promises to 'blossom for you'. Avant garde collaborators love Jepsen, but unlike, say, Caroline Polachek or Charli xcx, she's never made leftfield cool her brand. Those moments feel more like surprise gems in her enjoyably wayward catalogue: All That, made with Ariel Rechtshaid and Dev Hynes, is a sparkling devotional that forms a perfect period trifecta with Sky Ferreira's Everything Is Embarrassing and Solange's Losing You. The verse to Joshua Tree is all sharp, hungry anticipation of – what else – some kind of sensory high. Jepsen makes it worth the wait when the tension breaks into a chorus of rapturous satisfaction, à la Jessie Ware's sultrier disco moments: 'I need it / I feel it,' Jeppo sings, her unusually fragmentary lyrics evoking the strobe-lit half-memories of an ecstatic night out. The cutely funky Boy Problems solidified CRJ's gay icon status – you'll seldom see a crowd yell louder than when she sings, 'Boy problems, who's got 'em?' – and gave the concept a self-aware spin, acknowledging how bored her friends are of hearing about her messy love life. The sing-songy chorus sends up her predicament and is totally addictive. Intended for Jepsen's scrapped second album Curiosity, Tiny Little Bows got a glow-up from its coffee shop-pop demo to the machine-tooled whirling strings and snapping bass of its incarnation on Kiss. The lyric about chasing Cupid and his dinky arrow makes little sense (how do you think it goes with those tiny little bows? Err, fiddly?) yet hits like the best of Scandi-pop nonsense. CRJ had failed to clear this song's sample of He Needs Me, from Disney's 1980 Popeye film. So, naturally, she went to Disneyland and got Mickey Mouse to sign a fake contract approving it, then sent it to the publishers: 'The big star boss says it's OK.' They relented, and thank god, otherwise this slice of flirty madness, with its chorus that ascends like a starlet climbing a light-up staircase on a TV special, would never have existed. ''Cause I want what I want / Do you think that I want too much?' could be the Jeppo MO. On Gimmie Love, she lunges for, then suddenly withdraws from her crush, scared by the enormity of the feeling. It echoes within the cavernous, bass-wobbling production, offset by her effervescent vocals – and a determined cheerleader chant pivot in the middle eight. No stranger to gothic intensity, Jepsen sings that she's 'forever haunted by our time' on this sleek, sumptuous recollection of a formative romance. It was originally written for a scrapped disco album, its cool bass and enveloping sparkle hinting at a student of the French touch sound. The Sound offers a rarity in the Jeppo catalogue: unequivocal exasperation, anger flashing as she rebukes an unpredictable lover. 'Love is more than telling me you want it,' she sings over an abrupt beat, craving – once again – the feeling. The tender piano in the verses drives home what she's missing. Not to accuse co-producer Jack Antonoff of recycling, but this song's bass/percussion intro very much recalls his work on Lorde's Hard Feelings/Loveless. Anyway, it sets up a fantastically feral CRJ moment: 'I wanna do bad things to you!' she rhapsodises, with teeth-baring pep to rival early Madonna and robotic zip out of the Daft Punk playbook. Jepsen's lead singles have sometimes failed to recreate former glories: see Call Me Maybe redux I Really Like You, a red herring for the depth of Emotion. But for the first taste of The Loneliest Time, she ditched her bangers-first approach for this gorgeous, dusky Rostam collab, a pandemic rumination on memory. Charli has form for drawing out unexpected sides of well-known artists, and the first taste of mixtape Pop 2 showed off an unusually, captivatingly desolate CRJ. The pair spun a tale of powerless self-sabotage in relationships, their Auto-Tuned voices fluttering 'all alone, all alone, all alone' over AG Cook and Easyfun's tweaky ghost-in-the-machine ballad. Jepsen may be as good a successor to Kylie as we've ever had: a beloved, benign pop presence with an endless thirst for cheeky disco. Shy Boy is Minogue-worthy: a commanding, tart invitation to the dancefloor, although CRJ fabulously overplays her hand in a wordy bridge that reveals just how frazzled desire has left her. One billion times better than a song written for an animated kids' film about a ballerina should be, Cut to the Feeling is raw Jepsen ID: she's sticking her hand straight in the socket of desire, and conducting it through the rowdy, euphoric chorus, written at peak leaping-around tempo. It's basically Run Away with Me 2.0, but this is a song about overcoming reason, so just give in to it. The first time I heard Call Me Maybe I thought it 'wasn't that catchy'. Like biting into a chilli and declaring it 'not very spicy', only to be left weeping and demanding pints of milk, its delirious strings, pogoing beat and Carly's nuclear-force yet endearingly innocent crush got the better of me. And rightly so. Emotion arrived a year after Taylor Swift's 1989, the latter laden with lyrical Easter eggs that clearly identified her songs' subjects. Emotion hit certain listeners hard because it felt so free from subtext, hungering instead for BIG FEELINGS shot straight to the heart. The brazen sax and 'oh-oh-whoa / OH-OH WHOA!' of RAWM are a direct hit. The moment a crush becomes reality is rare and beautiful. Often, it simply never happens. If it does turn into a relationship, that moment of tingling anticipation can still only happen once. Here, Jepsen and Rostam precisely capture the feverishness of finally being so close to someone's face, you can feel their breath. Their subtle rapture softens the arpeggiated judder of Robyn's Call Your Girlfriend into a beat that rushes like adrenaline, the song's body heat contrasting the parched desperation in Jepsen's voice. It skips the cathartic peak of many of her hits to circle this precious feeling, willing it to last as long as possible.

College Football 26 Dynasty mode upgrades, plus BYU just did it again

Until Saturday Newsletter 🏈 | This is The Athletic's college football newsletter. Sign up here to receive Until Saturday directly in your inbox. Today in college football news, it's the 10th birthday of the greatest pop album ever, 'Emotion' by Carly Rae Jepsen. I might prefer 'Dedicated Side B,' though. Absolutely, it's time to lead the newsletter with the video game again. (Though if you're not into the video game, there's other stuff below. And to be fair, it's June.) Moments ago, EA Sports released the second 'deep dive' video previewing the upcoming followup to the record-setting College Football 25, this time highlighting new features in Dynasty mode — aka the team-management mode, aka the mode in which some of us will once again spend 99 percent of our time with this game. Meanwhile, Chris Vannini and David Ubben, who've spent a good bit of time with the July 10 release, just discussed some of their favorite new Dynasty features … David: 'We're underrating how much having real coaches (more than 300 head coaches and coordinators) will add a new element to the game as a whole and, specifically, Dynasty mode. When you create a coach, it often feels like you're stepping into a fantasy version of college football. Adding player names helped make it more real, and coaches will make it even more so.' … and their hopes for further improvement: Chris: 'There will finally be protected opponents. You can select one or two in a conference. This was announced for last year but pulled at the last minute. … I still miss the ability to take control of games not involving your team.' I'm most interested in what appears to be improved recruiting (like a busier transfer portal and my team's position needs appearing right up top, rather than on a separate screen) and the series regaining some historical record-keeping (the return of your own Trophy Room, along with an ever-updating list of national champions from 1869 onward, which some of us are carefully scrutinizing by comparing to the champs crowned in 2017 by the Colley Matrix and in 1984 by the University of Alabama). Also, when I read this sentence by Robby Kalland at CBS, I literally fist-pumped: 'Pro Potential got a tweak so it doesn't just evaluate the talent you have on the roster at present, but factors in your draft results for the past four seasons.' No longer will my Colorado State Rams or FIU Panthers be punished for going a year without a draft pick in between first-round Biletnikoff winners. (A correction: Last week, I described mass substitutions as being 'absent' from last year's edition. It was absent at launch, when I put in the far majority of my hours, but was patched in a bit later. Still, this year's game looks like it has better lineup management.) 🧑‍🌾 'In some crazy way, I enjoy all the crazy stuff that's going on the last couple of years here with our game and the landscape and all that. It's almost like a challenge.' 😺 Half a year after BYU gained a nationally televised commitment from No. 1 men's basketball recruit AJ Dybantsa, the Cougars moments ago did it again with five-star Ryder Lyons, who'd been the top uncommitted 2026 QB. 📖 The SEC has quite a bit of QB hype this year. One more name to add: Texas A&M's Marcel Reed, as Ralph Russo explains. 💰 Last week, Wisconsin sued Miami, alleging NIL-related tampering. I agree with the story's top commenter: 'They should allow players to switch schools during halftime.' 💎 Sunday, LSU won its eighth men's College World Series title, though the primary excitement was Coastal Carolina's manager and first-base coach being ejected almost immediately for what seemed like very normal levels of baseball yelling. In a championship elimination game! As the Zombie Pac-12 continues to rebuild its media profile (more CBS, along with ESPN and The Almighty CW, as detailed in a new story by Vannini), it also still needs to add one more team in order to count as an NCAA football conference. Having said that, I think the Pac-12 should just stick at seven. What's the NCAA gonna do about it? Exist? Still, let's say the Pac-12 follows the rules. Currently, Texas State is the clear favorite, with its school president even teasing an image of beavers (as in, Oregon State's mascot) in the Bobcats' San Marcos River. Okay, if that happens, then what? Why, here's Vannini yet again: 'The Sun Belt would likely move quickly and replace Texas State with Louisiana Tech, Western Kentucky or Middle Tennessee from Conference USA, according to a person briefed on the Sun Belt's thinking. CUSA is set to expand this year to 12 schools by adding Delaware and Missouri State from the Football Championship Subdivision. If the league did lose a school and try to backfill, it wouldn't be able to add another FCS program until 2027 at the earliest because of the FCS-FBS transition process.' Oh, fun fact: TXST actually wouldn't be the Pac-12's easternmost member. Lest we forget the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, an affiliate member for wrestling. Conference champs, in fact. All hail Little Rock, the Pac-12's only Trojans. Email me at untilsaturday@ with thoughts on which team even further east should join the Pac-12. Last week's most-clicked: Lots of you clicked this story about former NFL players chuckling at tabloid star Bill Belichick, you haters!

What are the big changes in the new Whitehorse zoning bylaw?

The city recently released a draft of the new zoning bylaw, and if you think this is a boring document that won't affect you, you're wrong. City zoning affects people all across Whitehorse every single day: from how easy it is to find parking to housing affordability to wildfire resilience. The overhaul of the city's zoning bylaw could have profound effects, and thus, the city is seeking feedback now that they've released the draft zoning bylaw. The current zoning bylaw the city operates on was adopted in July 2012. At that point in time, Carly Rae Jepsen's 'Call Me Maybe' was on the top of the charts, Stephen Harper was the prime minister and the population of Whitehorse was 26,000. Much has changed. With the Whitehorse Official Community Plan (OCP) being adopted in 2023, the city had an obligation to update the zoning bylaw to adhere to that plan within two years, as per the Municipal Act. While the city is getting a bit of extension on that two-year deadline , it still will have to adopt an updated zoning bylaw by next spring. The draft of the new zoning bylaw presents some significant changes from its forefather: specifically in the areas of parking, FireSmarting and the overall complexity of the bylaw, as well as some other notable changes. The draft bylaw itself is a more compact creature than the 2012 version: the older has 265 pages, whereas the new one is 153-pages long. And the new zoning bylaw has 30 types of zones: the current one on the books has 42. It's important to note that the zoning bylaw only applies to building and land use going forward: new developments, changes or redevelopments. First and foremost, parking minimums — essentially the bare minimum amount of parking the city requires developers to provide — for downtown residences have been removed, meaning there is no obligation for developers to provide downtown residential units with parking. This is a reduction from the requirement of having one space per two residential units. The maximum amount of parking that can be supplied is 1.2 spots per unit for residences. For commercial units downtown, there is no change to the number of required parking spots. Elsewhere in the city — specifically, Copper Ridge/Granger, Takhini, Valleyview, Riverdale and Marwell/Industrial, Porter Creek and Whistle Bend — the parking minimums have been reduced to one spot per two units, except for supportive housing which gets one parking space per four units. Non-residential units in urban centres outside of downtown will have parking requirements reduced to match the current commercial requirements downtown: one spot per 150 square meters of gross floor space. Areas of town zoned as 'commercial node' will qualify for this parking minimum. The commercial node zoning designation is meant to allow for some commercial development, in residential neighbourhoods, in order to integrate small-scale commercial and personal services to accommodate the daily needs of local residents. The OCP did indicate complete communities being a priority of the city — meaning that nieghbourhoods meet all the basic needs of residents, by having a mix of residential, commercial, recreational and community uses. Examples listed include housing, employment opportunities, groceries, medical and personal services, parks and schools. The OCP stated that 'the City will encourage the transition of existing residential neighbourhoods to more Complete Communities by introducing opportunities for new land uses or mixed-use nodes.' Other parts of town will have parking minimums of 0.8 spots per unit, as opposed to 1 spot per unit. Supportive housing, under the current zoning bylaw, is a 'conditional use' for many different residential zones. Usually, council approval is necessary for conditional use items to be able to use a site. Supportive housing refers to a building with residential units that provides on-site supports and services for nine or more individuals who require supervision or assistance daily due to mental, social, physical or behavioural challenges. Under the proposed draft bylaw, supportive housing joins other forms of housing — which range from cottage cluster to townhouse to multiplex to mobile home — as a principal use in many residential zones. A principal use refers to what a given zone is mainly used for — and it does not need council permission to operate within the zone. The OCP did make a commitment to support the inclusion of supportive housing and publicly-operated housing in all areas of the city, with priority along transit routes. A new type of zoning is being proposed as part of this draft zoning bylaw. In collaboration with Kwanlin Dün First Nation (KDFN), the city is changing the zoning designation of 'First Nation' to 'KDFN General' or 'McIntyre Development District.' The McIntyre Development District zoning, according to the city, will give KDFN more autonomy to determine its own development patterns. Kwanlin Dün First Nation may use in the land in any way they want, in accordance with the land use designations in the Kwanlin Dün First Nation Self-Government Agreement and any applicable legislation, plans and policies, per the draft zoning bylaw. The KDFN General designation will also allow traditional activities without a development permit from the city — subject to authorization from Kwanlin Dün government. FireSmarting is a city initiative which includes services such as home assessments and plant tags identifying fire-resistant plants, all in the name of reducing fire risk across the city. The new zoning bylaw has some proposals that align with FireSmart guidelines. Going forward, new coniferous trees (like pine, spruce and fir), which are drier and more flammable than deciduous trees, have to be planted a minimum of 10 metres from any principal building on a lot. This includes existing buildings and any future buildings being developed on adjacent lots. Trees and shrubs in general have to be at least 1.5 metres away from a principal building. Whereas the 2012 zoning bylaw recommended evergreen trees and shrubs be planted, the draft zoning bylaw only recommends deciduous trees and shrubs. Deciduous trees are supposed to have more moisture and thus be less flammable. Building heights downtown have been an issue the former council heard a great deal about, especially tied to the Official Community Plan. Increasing building heights was a consideration in the city's official community plan to encourage densification. Now, across the downtown, the maximum building height is 25 metres, except for residential areas hugging the escarpment, and the waterfront area, which have shorter building height limits. Regulating short-term rentals within Whitehorse has been an ongoing topic at city council. Back in 2022, when the OCP itself was being drafted, delegates took to council to express their opinions on regulation of short-term rentals. In February 2024, the city received recommendations from its housing and land development committee on how to handle the short-term rentals in the city. It also commissioned a public study to hear about people's experiences with short-term rentals in August 2024. In the 2012 zoning bylaw, there is no reference to short-term rentals. Now, in the proposed zoning bylaw, short-term rentals are regulated: there's a maximum of one short-term rental unit per lot, except for condo buildings, where the maximum is one short-term rental per unit. An individual operator can only have one short-term rental in any zone in the city. Matthew Cameron, a spokesperson for the city, told the News via email that in residential zones, short term rentals must be on the same property as the owner's primary residence, be it within their own home while the owner is travelling or in a garden suite on the same lot. An operator is allowed to engage other businesses for services such as advertising, booking, guest services, housekeeping and maintenance — and those third parties are not considered operators unless they own or lease the units themselves. Short-term rentals are also not allowed to operate on the same lots as bed-and-breakfasts. Furthermore, a short-term rental in someone's primary residence shall be limited to a maximum of six months a year, which cannot be divided into more than three separate periods during which the short-term rental is offered for rent. Public engagement on the zoning bylaw rewrite is set to be held May 28 between 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Old Fire Hall and during the Fireweed Market in Shipyards Park on May 29 between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. The city also has an online survey about the zoning bylaw rewrite, available on Engage Whitehorse until June 20.
