.@CarlyRaeJepsen doesn't want to be famous:
— "I felt like I was a very bad 'famous person' [during Call Me Maybe]. I didn't really like it very much. I found an audience, but I didn't want the celebrity.
I loved being an artist, I loved performing. So it was a very confusing combination of things that I loved and detested all at the same time"
It was like, 'Oh, I want this project to be bigger,' but 'I don't want to be recognised when I go out for groceries.' And weirdly, I think I might have found the sweet spot."

Fun fact: While this shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone familiar with Lady Gaga, she sang “Shape Of A Woman” live on the set of The Devil Wears Prada 2 instead of lip-syncing to a prerecorded track, as is typically done in movies.
— Read the official press release for 'Day and Night' by @CarlyRaeJepsen here:
"Day and Night is her most cohesive artistic statement to date – a 24-track double album with 12 songs for day and 12 songs for night. [It] 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.
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.
Day is organic and raw, with live instrumentation and hints of 70s-inspired psychedelic pop. Night is exploratory and intense, shifting into a sleek, synth-driven world of dance pop. Together, they dive into a full range of emotion – joy, fear, love, anxiety, escapist fantasy and everything in between.
With nothing left to prove, Jepsen brings a sense of freedom and self-assurance to her newest album. Day and Night is ultimately about finding the poetry: a conscious decision to lean into love and possibility, while inviting fans to witness her evolution and the strength she’s found along the way."
Journalist Liem Vu was invited to an early listen of several tracks from 'Day and Night' with @CarlyRaeJepsen last month
— He described the album as a "gorgeous sonic scrapbook only [Carly] could create"
It’s a double album baby! You guessed it right. Day and Night arrives September 18th and I couldn’t be more proud. We kick things off this Friday w our first single On Wires. https://t.co/VNC5tO6zhB
