New Carly Rae Jepsen video for ‘Boy Problems’

Former hometown girl Carly Rae Jepsen has a new video out. It’s for the song “Boy Problems” off of E-Mo-Tion, her follow-up to her 2012 hit album, Kiss.

Watch the video below.

The video, which features cameos from popular Instagrammers Barbie Ferreira, Diana Veras and Tavi Gevinson, was shot in NYC and directed by artist Petra Collins.

In a media release, Jepsen is quoted as saying, “Out of the blue, Petra reached out to ask if she could make a video for her favorite track of the album – ‘Boy Problems’. What she didn’t know is that I had been following her online via Instagram and other outlets for a while and had become a HUGE fan of her photographs and artwork. I think she has a very gifted eye for a refreshing look at youth and beauty and the way she plays with color always stands out to me. So the answer was an immediate YES! We met that first day in New York and were giddy with creating something new together and I am so pleased for how the dark and glittery scenes we imagined turned out. I hope you enjoy it!”

E-Mo-Tion hasn’t reached the commercial heights of its predecessor but the record has met with almost unanimously glowing reviews.

Jepsen begins her tour, opening for Hedley, today in St. John’s, NL. The tour comes to Vancouver’s Rogers Arena May 20.
