Carly Rae Jepsen Unveils Epic 24-Track Double Album 'Day and Night'!
Get ready, pop fans! Carly Rae Jepsen is back with 'Day and Night,' a 24-track double LP hitting September 18. Dive into dreamy '70s pop by day & intense dance-pop by night. First single 'On Wires' drops this Friday!
Pop sensation Carly Rae Jepsen is set to release her highly anticipated sixth studio album, "Day and Night," a massive 24-track double LP, on September 18. This exciting announcement has sent ripples through the music world, promising a unique auditory journey for her dedicated fanbase. The album is meticulously structured into two 12-song suites, each crafted to evoke distinct phases of the diurnal cycle, offering listeners a dynamic contrast in sound and mood.
The "Day" side of the record is described as leaning into organic, live instrumentation, infused with hints of '70s psychedelic pop. This segment promises a brighter, more expansive sonic landscape. In stark contrast, the "Night" portion of the album pivots towards a more intense, synth-driven dance-pop sound, designed to get listeners moving. The overarching goal of "Day and Night" is to capture a "blurred, dreamlike sense of time where nights stretch into mornings and days dissolve into nights," creating a cohesive yet varied musical experience.
Jepsen collaborated with long-time creative partners on this new collection, including Tavish Crowe, Kyle Shearer, Nate Cyphert, and her partner Cole M.G.N., ensuring a blend of familiar artistry and fresh innovation. Fans won't have to wait long for a taste of the new music; the first single, titled "On Wires," is slated to arrive this Friday, June 26.
To celebrate the album's release and give fans a first listen, Carly Rae Jepsen is scheduled to premiere new material live with a headline set at New York’s All Things Go Festival on September 27. This performance will mark her first public appearance of the year, adding another layer of anticipation for her followers.
This upcoming release comes 15 years after Jepsen's breakthrough with the ubiquitous 2012 single "Call Me Maybe," a track that garnered her two Grammy nominations and topped charts in over 47 countries, solidifying her status as a global pop icon. In recent years, her output, including 2022’s "The Loneliest Time" and accompanying B-sides projects, has shown a more introspective and artistically assured path, indicating that "Day and Night" will be another testament to her evolving artistry.
