Carly Rae Jepsen is officially coming back with a new album.
The Canadian pop star announced her latest release, Day and Night, a double album, Interscope Records announced Monday. It’s set to be released on Sept. 18, with the first single, “On Wires,” slated to drop later this week.
The 24-track album is being described as her “most cohesive artist statement to date” and features 12 songs for day and 12 songs for night. “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 release says of the album.
The singer has been teasing the project on social media for over a week. She posted a video clip and the album’s cover earlier today on Instagram. “It’s a double album baby! You guessed it right,” one post read in part.
“Exploring and dancing through two distinctly different landscapes. Day being more open-eyed, organic and earthbound and Night being more escapist and even intense at times,” she said in another post.
Day leans more into 70s-inspired psychedelic pop, while Night is filled with synth heavy dance pop. Jepsen worked with several collaborators including Tavish Crowe, Kyle Shearer, Nate Cyphert and Cole M.G.N on the album.
Jepsen has spent the last 15 years releasing some of the most critically regarded pop music. Her breakout hit “Call Me Maybe,” initially released in Canada in 2011, blew up across the world in 2012 and earned the singer two Grammy nominations.
“On Wires” is set to be released on streaming platforms this Friday via Interscope Records. Jepsen has been announced a headliner for New York’s All Things Go music festival, which will take place on Sept. 27 and be her first live performance of the year.
