In 2013, when he was still going by the name Devon Hendryx, Baltimore artist and proud CRJ stan JPEGMAFIA shared a delicate, Auto-Tuned cover of Carly Rae Jepsen's biggest hit, 2011's "Call Me Maybe." Unlike Jepsen's original, it didn't seem like the type of thing that would go down well at a sweaty concert to a euphoric crowd but, then again, I'd never considered the possibility that Peggy would play the song in Glasgow, Scotland, where even the bleak introspection of The Twilight Sad elicits a beered-up singalong. Above, then, is JPEGMAFIA covering Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" in Glasgow, pushing the Auto-Tune to its outer limits as he gets swept up in the chorus, drawing out backing vocals from the entire audience.
Correction: JPEGMAFIA originally released his cover of "Call Me Maybe" in 2013. The FADER regrets the error.
