Carly Rae Jepsen (whose birthday is today!) just released Last Christmas, her version of the WHAM! ‘80s Christmas classic. We’ve said it here on The Wow Report before but we aren’t alone; Jepson’s new E·MO·TION is THE best pop album of the year. (Adele, Justin Bieber & One Direction are all giving her a run for her money, but song for song she’s got them all beat…)
Rolling Stone agrees and called E·MO·TION a “pop masterclass,” and IDOLATOR says,
“Carly Rae Jepsen’s cover of WHAM!’s classic 1985 “Last Christmas” will charm your fuzzy jingle bell socks off before you even have time to dig into your Thanksgiving dinner.”
.
Give it a listen. (You can get it on iTunes here.) And then check out the original if you’re too young to remember… (Yes, that’s George Michael!)
