'All That' by Carly Rae Jepsen

Carly Rae Jepsen is our Canadian Pop Princess, always giving us sparkly pop confections. 'Call Me Maybe' is one of the biggest songs of the decade, and her latest 'I Really Like You' is an undeniably catchy smash. This weekend she took the stage at Saturday Night Live and debuted something a bit more, as Britney would say, artsy fartsy.

Crafted by Dev Hynes and Ariel Rechtshaid, 'All That' is an '80s-twinged slow burner that is unlike anything Jepsen has done before. The song is dark and sensual, perfect for a night of romantic passion. It reaches a level of maturity that we haven't seen from her before which is refreshing.

But fear not. Carly Rae's bubbly vocals provide the perfect counterpoint to the moody beat. It's not an iconic smash, but this shows just how much talent and artistry she truly has. It's a shame no one can take her seriously because this girl has got it.
