Pop powerhouse Carly Rae Jepsen has announced her latest album, The Loneliest Time, coming Oct. 21 on 604/Schoolboy/Interscope Records. It’s the Grammy-, Juno- and Polaris Prize-nominated singer/songwriter’s fifth album, and first in over three years, following 2019’s Dedicated.
The Loneliest Time is Jepsen’s “most introspective body of work to date,” per a press release, “expand[ing] on the emotionally potent songwriting and effervescent sound that Jepsen has showcased on past work.” Her collaborators on the album include Tavish Crowe, Rostam Batmanglij (who produced lead single “Western Wind”), Bullion, Captain Cuts, John Hill, Kyle Shearer, Alex Hope and more.
Jepsen will take her new material on the road next month, starting with two co-headlining shows with Bleachers Sept. 21 in Cleveland and Sept. 22 in Toronto. The So Nice Tour, her first North American headlining run since 2019, kicks off in Montreal on Sept. 24, with stops at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, the Austin City Limits Festival in Texas and The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, and support from Empress Of. $1 from every ticket sold will benefit The Ally Coalition, which supports homeless and at-risk LGBTQ youth. Tickets are on sale now.
