Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Shy Boy” is pop perfection. “Baby, I insist that I don’t care what they say about you / So sick of everybody tellin’ me what to do,” she sings. A slick, slinky melody gives way to one of Jepsen’s best tracks, and that’s saying something. She’s the queen of ear candy, and I’m not talking about “Call Me Maybe.” Her body of work is impressive, underrated even. “Shy Boy” is the latest in a long string of releases from the singer who knows exactly how to deliver a hook with gusto.
