Carly Rae Jepsen shares album release date

Carly Rae Jepsen will release her new album “Emotion” on August 21, and has plans to drop a new single and video for “Run Away With Me” in July.

The LP will be be available for pre-order starting June 23 and will come with instant downloads of previously released albums cuts, “I Really Like You”, “All That” and “Emotion”. The latest album will be made available in traditional forms, as well as a part of bundles featuring special art prints, T-shirts and more.

“Emotion” follows Jepsen's 2012 US debut “Kiss”, which featured the viral smash “Call Me Maybe”. While “Emotion” boasts contributions from proven pop hit-makers like Sia, Shellback (Taylor Swift, Maroon 5) and Greg Kurstin (Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry), it also features rising stars.

While “Emotion” has yet to spawn a hit as ubiquitous as “Call Me Maybe”, the Tom Hanks-starring video for “I Really Like You” has racked up over 61 million views on YouTube.
