Carly Rae Jepsen preps 24-track album Day and Night for September release

The record is split into two 12-song suites, each designed to evoke a different phase of the diurnal cycle. According to the album's announcement, the Day side will lean into organic, live instrumentation with hints of 70s psychedelic pop, while the Night portion pivots towards a more intense, synth-driven dance-pop sound. The collection aims to capture a “blurred, dreamlike sense of time where nights stretch into mornings and days dissolve into nights.”

Jepsen worked on the new collection with long-time collaborators including Tavish Crowe, Kyle Shearer, Nate Cyphert and Jespen's partner Cole M.G.N. The first taste of the record, “On Wires,” will arrive this Friday (26 June) and she's slated to premiere the material live with a headline set at New York’s All Things Go Festival on 27 September, which will mark her first performance of the year.

The announcement comes 15 years after Jepsen first broke through with the ubiquitous 2012 single “Call Me Maybe,” a track that earned her two Grammy nominations and topped charts in over 47 countries. Her recent output, including 2022’s The Loneliest Time and a series of B-sides projects, has charted a more introspective and artistically self-assured path.
