(Redirected from I Know You Have a Girlfriend)

Kiss is the second studio album by Canadian singer and songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen. It was released on September 14, 2012, by 604, Schoolboy and Interscope Records. After her debut, Tug of War (2008), was only released in Canada, Kiss became Jepsen's first internationally released album. Songs on the album are in the nu-disco,[1] dance-pop,[2][3] and teen pop[2][3][4] genres, drawing inspiration from the Cars, Madonna and Robyn. Featuring production from a wide collection of producers including Dallas Austin, Josh Ramsay, and Redfoo, the album features guest vocals from Justin Bieber and Owl City.

"Call Me Maybe", which was an international success, peaked at number one in several countries including Canada and the US, and was released as the lead single internationally on February 22, 2012. The song received generally positive reviews from contemporary critics, who praised its composition and clever lyrical content. After reaching the top position in Canada, Jepsen became only the fifth Canadian artist to do so in her home country since 2007. In the United States, the track reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Pop Songs chart. The song is the first number one by a Canadian female artist on the Billboard Hot 100 chart since 2007's "Girlfriend" by Avril Lavigne. A music video for "Call Me Maybe" was written and directed by Ben Knechtel. The video received three nominations on the 2012 MuchMusic Video Awards in the categories of UR Fave Video, Pop Video of the Year, and Video of the Year.

The second single from Kiss, "Good Time" was released on June 26, 2012 and features Owl City. In the US, the song debuted at number 32 on the US Pop Songs chart, and number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100, for the week dated July 4, reaching number eight a few weeks after. The song is the second to make the top ten on the chart for both artists; Owl City's first top ten single since "Fireflies", as well as Carly Rae Jepsen's first top-ten single since "Call Me Maybe", making Jepsen one of the few artists in history to have two top ten songs in the same week. And as of August 29, 2012 the song has sold over one million copies in the United States alone, and was certified Platinum status in that territory. In Canada and New Zealand, it peaked at number one, becoming Owl City's first number-one single and Jepsen's second in both countries. The song debuted at number 17 on the UK Singles Chart on August 26, 2012. It rose to five the following week, becoming Owl City's first top-five UK hit since 2010's "Fireflies". The music video directed by Declan Whitebloom was released on July 24, 2012 on Owl City's official Vevo. On the same day, Adam Young tweeted about the video saying, "It's always a #goodtime going camping with @CarlyRaeJepsen" with a link to the video on YouTube. The video features both Jepsen and Young. It was filmed in Harriman State Park's Silvermine Picnic Area.

The third single, "This Kiss", was released on September 10, 2012. It achieved moderate success on the charts, reached at #86 on Billboard Hot 100, and #23 on Canadian Hot 100, being the sixth top 40 hit in Canada.

The song "Almost Said It" was released exclusively on the Canadian iTunes Store as the first promotional single on December 4, 2012.[7] The song did not appear on any charts.

The fourth single from the album was "Tonight I'm Getting Over You" which was the lone track produced by Max Martin and Lukas Hilbert.

On January 27, she posted on her Facebook account that she shot the music video in Los Angeles.[8]

Following its release, Kiss received mostly positive reviews from music critics with an aggregated metascore of 63 of 100 in Metacritic based on 13 reviews.[13]

The positive reviews came in from AllMusic, Entertainment Weekly, Idolator, Los Angeles Times, Now, PopMatters, Toronto Star and the USA Today. Heather Phares of AllMusic gave the album four out of five stars, saying "After a string of fantastical glamazon pop stars like Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Nicki Minaj, there's something to be said for Jepsen's girl-next-door persona, which helps make Kiss one of 2012's best, and sweetest, pop albums."[14] AllMusic also named Kiss as one of its top 10 albums of 2012 citing its "solid songwriting and fizzy melodies to prove her success [with 2012-defining single 'Call Me Maybe'] wasn't a fluke."[24] Adam Markovitz of Entertainment Weekly gave the album a B− grade, noting that the album "makes a mad dash for good-enoughness."[17] Sam Lansky of Idolator gave the album four out of five stars, complimenting Jepsen's voice "... and Jepsen's voice proves a surprisingly effective instrument, since she doesn't need an extraordinary range to be one of the more emotive vocalists in the game."[25] Mikael Wood of Los Angeles Times gave it a three out of four stars, evoked how the album "...feels like a successful attempt to invest pheromone-rush dance pop with a bit of old-soul wisdom."[19] Benjamin Boles of Now gave it a four out of five stars, proclaiming the album for containing "...two just okay songs and 14 great ones is better than most acts can manage on their greatest hits packages, let alone their second album."[20] Evan Sawdey of PopMatters gave the album a seven out of ten rating, surmising that "Kiss will not be looked at as one of the all-time great pop albums. Yet song-for-song, Jepsen proves she has more talent than half of the stars out there, managing to not only sell virtually every word on the album but also managing to make it all sound off-the-cuff and effortless, ultimately creating a bubbly pop playground that is both catchy and endearing without having to turn base or crude to get there...If she keeps putting out quality material like virtually all of Kiss, that thankfully will not be the only thing that defines her."[26] Ben Rayner of the Toronto Star gave the album three out of four stars, complimenting it for being "...almost as insidiously easy on the ears", but also criticized its use of the "Call Me Maybe" template: "It's all so bright and immediate and perfectly pleasurable, though, that you don't really realize that you've essentially just listened to the same tune eight times in a row". Rayner ended the review by saying, "Get over the guilt and give in to the pleasure."[27] Brian Mansfield of USA Today rated the album three stars out of four, and said that Carly Rae Jepsen "doesn't always lay herself open the way she does in Call Me Maybe. Much of her album is prefab dance-pop."[23] To this, Mansfield wrote that "There's not another hit like 'Call Me Maybe'. But there's enough substance to ensure she's more than a one-hit wonder."[23]

However, some critics gave it less positive reviews. Jim Farber of the Daily News gave the album a two out of five stars, writing "No doubt Jepsen's handlers know this, but they didn't feel they could risk switching things up. Instead, they confined her more than ever, tethering her to a role that renders Kiss this year's most redundant disc."[16] Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian gave the album two out of five stars, saying "On this album, her voice is still her Achilles' heel; she's a 26-year-old who sounds 16, and a colourless 16 at that." Sullivan however noted that she liked "Beautiful" the most, which she called a "faux-folk ballad" and "a sweet duet with Justin Bieber [...] that suggests that neither artist is completely irredeemable".[18] Blair Kelly of musicOMH gave it two out of five stars, criticizing the album as "a huge disappointment. It could have been a real gem for fans of guilty pleasure pop, but even Taylor Swift comes across as dark and edgy compared to the squeak of this overproduced laziness. Perhaps the global impact of the massive 'Call Me Maybe' is what makes the album as a whole feel like a damp squib, but with or without US Marine parody videos, the rest of the album fizzles out into synth-pop oblivion."[28] Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone gave it two and half out of five stars, stating "...Kiss too often defaults to mediocre dance pop like the Owl City collaboration 'Good Time' – heavy on Disney-fied thump, light on memorable hooks that might highlight her unassuming adorableness."[21] Yorgo Douramacos of Slant Magazine gave it two and a half out of five stars, and despite noting Jepsen for "her simplicity and directness", felt "The fact that it's often expressed in seemingly direct, if dramatically overstated, elements should deceive no one. These are mythically complex creatures. Don't believe me? Ask a teenage boy."[22]

In the years since its release, various publications such as Time,[29] MTV,[30] Stereogum,[31] and Billboard[32] have labeled the album as underrated. The album was voted as the 10th best album of 2012 by AllMusic.[33] Oricon in Japan ranked the album at number 63 for the year 2013.[34]
