If you haven’t heard the song “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen, you must have never turned on the radio this summer. The hit song climbed to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and was recently named the Song of the Summer after remaining at # 1 for nine weeks in a row. The 26-year-old Canadian singer is releasing her sophomore album on September 18, 2012. Titled “Kiss,” Jepsen says, “These are lyric and song ideas that I have been collecting over the years… I can’t wait to share it with everyone!” Her new single, “This Kiss,” was released September 10th and features the same stuck-in-your-head beat as “Call Me Maybe.” “Good Time” with Owl City is my favorite song as of now. It is catchy and an upbeat song that just makes you want to dance. Another song off the record, “Beautiful,” has Justin Bieber as a featured artist which is sure to be a hit.
Releasing this record just in time, Carly Rae Jep+sen will be kicking off a tour with Justin Bieber on September 29. If you are a fan, I recommend quickly getting tickets, as they probably won’t last long!
