On top of this, the track has also been included in several playlists around Asia such as Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand.

The modern track revolves around the typical high school crush and “getting bit by the love bug” - having such strong feelings for someone, yet so unsure of how they feel about you.

"Crush" was produced in Hawaii, and allowed Elmo to step out of his comfort zone and try new things. As he is still in the process of finding his sound, he says that this song is “a gateway to an unexplored Elmo”.

Prior to this song, Elmo released a self-titled album back in 2016, and recently collaborated with Hawaiian-Filipino artist MiMi, on the song entitled “Keke Love.”

Carly Rae Jepsen Brings ‘The Dedicted Tour’ to Manila

Pop star Carly Rae Jepsen will be bringing her ‘The Dedicated Tour’ to Manila on October 23 at the New Frontier Theater. Tickets will be on-sale starting August 31 via TicketNet.com.ph and at all TicketNet outlets nationwide. Presented by concert promoter Wilbros Live.

Fans can expect a night full of hits as Carly Rae Jepsen will be performing her chart-topping songs, including “Cut to the Feeling”, “Call Me Maybe”, “Party for One”, “I Really Like You”, “Boy Problems”, “Emotion”, “Run Away with Me” and many more.

After Carly Rae Jepsen released her critically acclaimed album E·MO·TION in 2015, it became “a modern touchstone for a new crop of pop-leaning artists and legacy acts,” as NPR noted, adding “the blast radius of E•MO•TION is expansive.” The album also inspired an abundance of memes — extending the cultural cachet that Jepsen earned from the ubiquity of her Grammy-nominated blockbuster hit “Call Me Maybe” (from her U.S debut album Kiss), which not only climbed to No. 1 on the iTunes Singles charts in over 47 countries, sold over 20 million singles worldwide, and was certified Diamond in the U.S., but was referenced by everyone from former secretary-of-state Colin Powell to Cookie Monster. 

Jepsen’s new album, Dedicated, retains the joyful, hook-filled feeling of its predecessor. But where E*MO*TION, which featured the platinum single "I Really Like You," was an ’80s-influenced synth-pop classic that Rolling Stone called “a pop masterclass” and Stereogum called “indisputable, unfuckwithable pop genius,” Dedicated has a more ’70s-inspired feel at times (though the album defies categorization as a whole). At one point, Jepsen was sure she was making a disco opus. “The title was going to be ‘Disco Sweat,’” she says with a laugh. “I really bought into it.” But Jepsen had a change of heart thanks to her travels over the past two years, which included writing trips to the Swedish countryside (“It was spring and there were fields of flowers, homemade breads, and kittens running everywhere”) and a beach in Nicaragua, where she surfed and stayed in a cabana-like casita. Then there was an Eat Pray Love-esque solo vacation in Italy. “I had so many songs,” she says. “I needed some space to walk around, reflect, eat pasta, and get to know myself a bit.”

Avéne Thermal Spring Water – a gift from nature for good looking skin

Redness, flushing and irritation are common problems for sensitive skin sufferers. Treating sensitive skin can be quite tricky, if not downright frustrating, but now there is a solution and it is water.

This isn’t just regular water, however. It is spring water from France called Avéne, a French brand based around the science of the local spring water that originates from the beautiful mountains of Cevennes in France. This one-of-a-kind product contains minerals with healthy benefits and therapeutic properties proven to soothe, soften, and restore the natural balance of every skin type, especially sensitive skin.

The French Academy of Medicine recognizes the many benefits of Avène Thermal Spring Water to be anti-irritating, soothing and anti-inflammatory. Known for its healing power, Avène soothes and heals skin with dermatitis, ichthyosis (extremely dry skin), eczema and psoriasis. It helps reduce inflammation, relieve irritation and speed healing.

But besides its almost miraculous effect on sensitive, afflicted skin, Avène Thermal Spring Water has many cosmetic properties as well.

In the morning:

·         Spray it on first thing to gently awaken your complexion and give it a special glow and radiance. 

During the day:

·         When you’re hot, tired, or icky, mist your face, neck and arms to feel its soothing properties and leave your skin feeling soft and fresh.

·         Use it to soothe reddened skin and to feel nice and cool after staying out in the sun.

·         You can also spray on Avène following hair removal to remove the sting or discomfort.

·         Spray Avène on puffy eyelids to create a sense of relaxation and to lessen the puffiness.

·         Use it to set your makeup.

·         After removing makeup, spray it on to brighten your complexion.
