Carly Rae Jepsen has announced a major new release: a 24-track double album arriving on September 18. The project, split into two contrasting halves, arrives with an imminent lead single and marks another ambitious step in the pop star’s steady output.
The record, titled Day and Night, will be issued on Interscope as a double LP made up of two twelve-song sides. According to the announcement, the first half—labeled Day—draws on the textures of 1970s psychedelic pop, while the second half—Night—leans into dancefloor-oriented production. A complete tracklist has not been published yet, but the album’s cover art accompanies the announcement.
This Friday Jepsen will release the lead single, “On Wires”, giving the first audible hint of the record’s direction.
What to know at a glance
- Album: Day and Night
- Format: 24 tracks, double LP (two 12-song halves)
- Label: Interscope
- Lead single: “On Wires” (due this Friday)
- Release date: September 18
- Touring/appearances: Jepsen is slated to headline the New York edition of the All Things Go Festival on September 26, 2026
Jepsen has remained prolific in recent years. After 2022’s The Loneliest Time, she issued a companion collection of outtakes and B-sides, and last year reissued her acclaimed 2015 album E•mo•tion in a special anniversary edition that included unreleased material. That pattern—studio album, then supplementary releases—has set expectations for both dedicated fans and critics.
The choice to split the record into two distinct moods is notable. Presenting a single artist across clear stylistic halves creates two listening experiences: one that invites reflective, melody-driven listening and another that’s intended for the club or a late-night set. For Jepsen, who has built a reputation for finely crafted pop songs, the format offers room to experiment without abandoning accessibility.
Industry observers will be watching how the campaign unfolds: whether singles from the Night side target dance and streaming playlists, while tracks from Day aim for radio and critical attention. The timing—just over a week before her festival headlining slot in New York—suggests the new music will feature prominently in her live set this fall.
For now, the immediate takeaway is simple: expect new music in your feeds this Friday and a full, two-part album on September 18. Fans looking for a first listen should watch for “On Wires”, which will be the earliest preview of where Jepsen takes her sound next.
