"Do you know what I mean?" I think queers, in particular, know what she means.ĭaniel Laurin is a PhD student in Cinema Studies at the University of Toronto. "I didn't just come here to dance, if you know what I mean," she sings. Over a house beat, the track tells the story of CRJ going to a club with the intention of catching the eye of her crush and leaving with him. But Carly cemented her queer icon status for me with the song "I Didn't Just Come Here to Dance," a bonus track on the deluxe edition of E She's played Brighton Pride, turned a festival outing into a Pride performance (inviting viral video star Mark Kanemura onstage to snatch literal wigs) and sported that Joan Jett mullet. It's not that Carly isn't leaning into her status as queer icon. Did her label not think she could carry her own music video? And then there was the tour with Hedley - what was the vanguard of pop music doing opening up for this aging pop-punk-turned-arena-rock band? TION, "I Really Like You," is not particularly indicative of the more experimental sound of the rest of the album, but it certainly sounds the most like "Call Me Maybe." The video mostly stars Tom Hanks, and CRJ only makes an appearance near the end (Justin Bieber shows up, too).
It seemed clear that Carly's management didn't seem to know how to market this post-"Call Me Maybe" version of her. Gay men love an underdog: a pop star who's struggled publicly (think Britney, Kesha) or one who they feel has been mismanaged by their label (Tinashe, Ciara). And perhaps her relative obscurity is part of her queer appeal. Perhaps it's because these are particular queer pleasures. Though the album was the subject of several breathless Pitchfork features and made countless year-end best-of lists, it still remained that album that my straight friends kept "meaning to listen to."
"Boy Problems" is a shimmering, shoulder-shimmying send-off bop whose accompanying Petra Collins video is cute and campy with that gauzy, of-the-moment aesthetic (which would later get Collins recruited to shoot campaigns for Gucci). "Your Type" is a sexy, heartbreaking jam that dares you not to you to mouth its lyrics while giving it your all on a sweaty dance floor.
