Carly Rae Jepsen has officially launched her Day and Night era, and she did it in a big way with a full double album. In a new interview with Billboard News, she explained that she’d always wanted to make a two-part project and decided this was the moment.“If not now, then when, really?”she said, which is honestly a philosophy we can all get behind.
The lead single“On Wires”holds a special place for her because it felt unlike anything she’d done before. After more than a decade of making pop music, she said landing on what felt like a new genre was genuinely exciting. The album also features“Don’t Leave Me on the Dance Floor,”a track she says carries serious ABBA-inspired energy. Throw in her reflections on the 10th anniversary of her beloved album Emotions and how motherhood has shaped her creative process, and this era feels like a full-circle moment for one of pop’s most consistent artists.
Whether you’ve been here since“Call Me Maybe”or jumped on during the Emotions days, there’s something on this album for every version of a Carly fan. What’s the first track you’re hitting when you press play?
