Carly Rae Jepsen, sang two of her newest hit singles, "All That' and "I Really Like You' on NBC's sketch comedy show 'Saturday Night Live' (SNL). 29-year-old Jepsen is a Canadian singer and songwriter. The show aired live on Saturday, April 4, 2015.
"Really, really, really, really, really, really excited for @MichaelKeaton and @carlyraejepsen tonight! instagram.com/p/1EOOr4sNBh/ #SNL," tweeted Saturday Night Live on Saturday.
She sang 'I Really Like You' dressed in all black attire while sporting a new look, a bright copper colored bob cut. She maintained her signature blunt bangs with a choppy twist. Afterwards she sang 'All That,' her newest single with guest appearances by two major music producers, Dev Hynes and Ariel Rechtshaid. SNL was hosted by Michael Keaton, who had not hosted the show since 1992.
"He was playing on keys. It was so my magical idea of New York. I was just singing and, half an hour later, we'd written this song together. We looked at each other like, "That was so crazy, I don't even remember doing that!' Those are the passion moments. This is what I'm in it for," said Jepsen referring to Hynes in an interview with Time.
"I will be your candle in the dark when you need someone," sings Jepsen in her new single, "All That." It is a pop ballad that draws its influence from 80's music by artists such as Cyndi Lauper, Bonnie Tyler, and Prince. The song was uploaded on her Youtube channel on Saturday. Since then, it has reached 154,436 views and 7K likes.
Jepsen's "I Really Like You music video features 'Forrest Gump' and 'Cast Away' actor Tom Hanks. Hanks lip syncs the lyrics while dancing with a flash mob that includes Jepsen and Canadian 'Baby' singer Justin Bieber on the streets of Manhattan. The video has 21,924,437 views and 319K likes. It was uploaded on March 6, 2015.
Two of her previous hit singles are "Tug of War' and "Call Me Maybe.' Jepsen has won Billboard Music Awards, the Canadian Radio Music Award, and Teen Choice Award.
