Carly Rae Jepsen Live-Debuts ‘Love Depressed’ at Intimate ‘One Night Only’ Concert in L.A.: See Best Photos
The pop singer/songwriter kicks off Billboard Live Music Summit festivities with Peppermint Club concert.
On a pleasantly warm evening, Carly Rae Jepsen unveiled her song "Love Depressed" during an exclusive "One Night Only" concert at the Peppermint Club in Los Angeles. The intimate performance, organized by booking agency THE•TEAM, lasted for 30 minutes and was complemented by a full band backing her. Jepsen was greeted by Billboard co-chief content officers Leila Cobo and Jason Lipshutz, who held a 2012 edition of Billboard magazine featuring her chart-topping hit "Call Me Maybe" on its cover.
The magazine had previously celebrated the song's nine-week reign atop the Billboard Hot 100. During the event, Jepsen actively interacted with an audience composed mainly of professionals in the industry, who enthusiastically sang along, danced, and cheered. Jepsen herself remarked, "It's so much fun to do an intimate set." The highlight of the night arrived when Jepsen revealed that "Love Depressed" had not been part of her original setlist until the day before the concert.
She implored the audience to join her in singing along, but their collective efforts were unnecessary as her emotive rendition of the song captivated every single person there. To conclude the evening, Jepsen closed with her 2017 hit "Cut to the Feeling," a song she frequently uses to end her sets. The night commenced with Carol Ades, who was later joined by a guitarist and sang her hit "Hope Is a Scary Thing," a song featured in the popular TV series Off Campus.
Ades is expected to join Jepsen on her upcoming Day and Night Tour, which is set to begin on April 15 in Edmonton, Alberta. The Billboard Live Music Summit continued the following day, kicking off at the 1 Hotel in West Hollywood.
