Carly Rae Jepsen Shares New Album Details for ‘Day and Night'
Pop singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen is back. The Grammy Award-nominated performer announced that she’ll release her new album, “Day and Night,” on Sept. 18 via Interscope Records.
A statement from Jepsen’s camp says that this album is her “most cohesive artistic statement to date,” featuring a whopping 24 tracks. It’s a double album with 12 songs for day and 12 songs for night.
The album’s first single, “On Wires,” will arrive on Friday, June 26. Jepsen will also kick off the release of “Day and Night” with a special, headlining stint at NYC's All Things Go Festival on Sunday, Sept. 27, marking her first live performance of the year.
“‘Day and Night’ captures a blurred, dreamlike sense of time where nights stretch into mornings and days dissolve into nights, creating a feeling of being suspended inside a moment,” a statement about the album provided to Newsweek reads. “Working with her dream team of collaborators and friends, including Tavish Crowe, Kyle Shearer, Nate Cyphert and Cole M.G.N., Jepsen created two distinct sonic palettes for the album.”

Each piece of this double album has a distinct sound and style that fits day or night. Day offers “organic and raw” moods, with “live instrumentation and ’70s-inspired psychedelic pop.” Night is a totally different feel, offering a “sleek, synth-driven world of dance pop.” The themes are similar, though, including “joy, fear, love, anxiety, escapist fantasy and everything in between.”
Jepsen broke out 15 years ago but continues to find her place in the popular music world. Her 2012 single “Call Me Maybe” went viral before the term was even trendy. She’s earned two Grammy nominations to date for Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance.
