Carly Rae Jepsen Announces Double Album *Day and Night*

Carly Rae Jepsen, the Canadian pop singer-songwriter, announced a 24-track double album titled *Day and Night* for release on September 18, 2026 via Interscope Records. The collection is split into two 12-song suites, “Day” and “Night.” The lead single, “On Wires,” will arrive on June 26, 2026.

The project juxtaposes two sonic palettes. The label’s press release describes the “Day” half as “organic and raw, with live instrumentation and hints of ’70s-inspired psychedelic pop,” while the “Night” half is “exploratory and intense, shifting into a sleek, synth-driven world of dance pop.” Both sides aim to convey a “blurred, dreamlike sense of time” where day dissolves into night.

Jepsen’s production roster includes longtime partners Tavish Crowe, Kyle Shearer, Nate Cyphert, and her partner Cole M.G.N. The four contributed to songwriting, arrangement, and production across both halves of the album, continuing a pattern of recurring creative partnerships.

Jepsen calls *Day and Night* her “most cohesive artistic statement to date,” positioning it as a thematic continuation of her recent “The Loneliest Time” and “The Loveliest Time” releases. The dual structure seeks to expand her reputation for concept-driven pop and may influence future album formats in mainstream music.

The label’s announcement highlighted the album’s narrative ambition, noting its intent to “suspend listeners inside a moment where day dissolves into night.” In an Instagram post, Jepsen wrote, “It’s a double album baby! You guessed it right,” and expressed pride in the project.

Sources differ on the album’s ordinal number: some describe it as Jepsen’s sixth studio album, others as her eighth. Additionally, one outlet referred to the lead single as “Wires” rather than the official title “On Wires.” These inconsistencies are noted without resolution.
