– Ricky, 25, from Long Island gets to the heart of Why Grown Ass Men Get So Emotional About Carly Rae Jepsen in MEL Magazine.

I wouldn’t say I get emotional but it’s absolutely true: At first I dismissed “Call Me Maybe” as a bit of fluff but at some point the strings got to me. Then E•MO•TION came out and it was like…. wait, this is good? Part of it, too, is if you ARE (or at least if you were, it’s become less strange now) a grown-ass man who likes Carly Rae Jepsen people have more questions for you than if you are hyping up a punk band from Toronto or bedroom indie.
