This year’s breakout pop sensation Carly Rae Jepsen
releases her eagerly anticipated U.S. debut album, entitled, KISS.
The Canadian singer and songwriter wrote and co-wrote songs on the album,
collaborating with songwriters and producers Max Martin, Dallas Austin, LMFAO’s
Redfoo, Toby Gad, Marianas Trench singer Josh Ramsay and Matthew Koma.
Jepsen’s latest single “Good Time,”
a duet with Owl City, has climbed to No. 3 on the Pop Chart, No. 5 on the
iTunes Singles chart, and No. 13 on Billboard’s Hot 100, while the
video, featuring Jepsen and Young, has racked up more than six million views on
VEVO.

"These
are lyric and song ideas that I have been collecting over the years,” Jepsen says of Kiss.
“I can't tell you how lucky I feel to be
able to collaborate with some of my dream producers. It has been the most
fulfilling experience. The record is pop. It’s inspired by Robyn, The Cars,
Madonna, and believe it or not, James Taylor. I can't wait to share it with
everyone! Kiss."
Jepsen has been riding high with the success of her smash single “Call
Me Maybe,” which has sold more than 7.3 million singles worldwide and has
spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 so far, tying Gotye’s “Somebody That
I Used To Know” for most weeks atop the chart this year. Certified
quintuple-platinum in Jepsen’s native Canada (where it also hit No. 1), the
track is an international sensation, climbing to No. 1 in the iTunes Singles
charts in over 37 countries including the U.S. U.K., Ireland, Australia, New
Zealand, Norway and more. It also earned her a 2012 MTV Video Music Award
nomination for Best New Artist.
