Hey! Great news! You know how pop music is in a state of abject decline and everything is embarrassing? At long last, an oasis in the cruel desert of mainstream radio: Carly Rae Jepsen‘s majestic “Tonight I’m Getting Over You” is getting an official single treatment, with a radio release date set for February 19. (See the single artwork above, which appears to feature Jepsen as The Saddest Girl In The World, or something.)
The track is one of the strongest single candidates from Jepsen’s criminally underrated Kiss; “Tonight” succeeds her “Call Me Maybe” follow-up single “This Kiss,” which had a lackluster performance on the charts despite also being pretty excellent. “Tonight,” though, has big smash written all over it: With a Max Martin pedigree, a crushing electro chorus and Jepsen’s best vocals to date, if “Tonight” fails to resonate with listeners, it will serve as empirical proof that everyone is dumb and has terrible taste.
Listen below and revel in how great this song is:
Do you love “Tonight I’m Getting Over You” as much as we do? Let us know below, or by hitting us up on Facebook and Twitter.
This sounds like garbage. Can we get some new Beyonce? Hell, even some new Michelle Williams would be better than this one hit wonder.
Great song. Anyone who doesn’t like it is a dumb and deaf fool!
No! She is a bore, she is not gonna save pop, the song is decent but she has no star quality, her performances are awful!
loll I agree with this post, I’m so happy this is her new single!
yay! i really hope this does well because with an album like Kiss she really doesn’t deserve one-hit-wonder status
Isn’t this a filler track on any one of Selena Gomez’s albums? It’s okay… but no call me maybe or top 10 on my playlists.
Sam, if you are going to subject the readers to Carly as the savior of music, could you at least highlight Katy B who is far and beyond superior with songs that will certainly resonate. She deserves more awareness.
We love Katy B around these parts! See here: http://idolator.com/tag/katy-b
I don’t think this song is exactly going to change the state of pop music but for Carly, I think it will be a bigger hit than “This Kiss.” I love that everyone complains that she is boring. What because she doesn’t dye her hair every two months? She doesn’t wear outlandish costumes? She doesn’t sing about getting wasted? The thing that appeals to me about her is that she seems like just a normal, everyday girl. Sure, sweet and innocent may not guarantee chart success in the long run (Mandy Moore is proof for one) but in the glut of pop stars like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, etc….it’s nice to see a pop star who doesn’t need to rely on theatrics to grab our attention.
I bet you anything, by the time this song hits the radio, some of you will probably be changing your minds. No, this song isn’t the best but given the songs that America seems to want to buy into….”Harlem Shake?” Thrift Shop? Scream and Shout? Whatever Pitbull song is out…..it’s definitely a cut above.
She is like a Disney star with no Disney history.
She’s just plain generic.
I don’t need bright colored wigs and stuff. Just some good music.
Great Pop Artist : Robyn, Beyonce, Britney, Sky Ferreira, Madonna etc.
Bad Pop Artist : Carly, Ke$ha, Katy Perry. Jessie J.
She just doesn’t entertain me…. at all…
I could probably throw sand in my eyes and knifes in my ears and be happier than listening to her music.
If THIS song is saving pop music…R.I.P. pop music :(
