"Surrender My Heart" by Carly Rae Jepsen


Carly Rae Jepsen is an artist that I think keeps getting better as she gets more experience. Her breakthrough song was the smash hit "Call Me Maybe" in 2012, which was a huge hit and very catchy, but kind of a one-dimensional song. Later that year she did a duet with Owl City called "Good Time" which was pretty decent. Then she followed it up with "I Really Like You" in 2015, which became another huge hit. But the song that I really fell in love with was her 2017 release "Cut to the Feeling" which was originally intended for her album Emotion, but ended up being held back and released in connection with the animated feature film Ballerina, for which Jepsen voiced a supporting role.

"Surrender My Heart" was a single off The Loneliest Time, which was Jepsen's "quarantine album" and she worked on with Tavish Crowe, the friend and songwriter she originally developed "Call Me Maybe" with. I really like the way her songs still maintain upbeat, catchy melodies, but the complexity and sophistication of her lyrics just keep getting better and better.
