About This Love Isn't Crazy

After almost three years since Carly Rae Jepsen's most recent album, Emotion, it appears LP4 is well under way. The Canadian artist teased some behind-the-scenes recording studio footage on her Instagram story Sunday (Apr. 1), treating fans to 13 seconds of what could possibly be her next hit. "This love isn't crazy," Jepsen sings, backed by oscillating synths in what sounds like another infectious chorus for the "Call Me Maybe" star. She told the Vancouver Sun in 2016 that she's been “very much into disco-y things" while working on her next release, and this preview backs up that statement. Jepsen, whose most recent single, "Cut to the Feeling," dropped last summer, also just completed her run as opening act for Katy Perry’s Witness: The Tour earlier this year.

Carly Rae Jepsen (born November 21, 1985) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and actress. Born and raised in Mission, British Columbia, Jepsen performed several lead roles in her high school's musical productions and pursued musical theatre at the Canadian College of Performing Arts in Victoria, BC. After completing her studies, she relocated to Vancouver and later competed on the fifth season of Canadian Idol in 2007, placing third. In 2008, Jepsen released her folk-influenced debut studio album Tug of War in Canada. Jepsen's breakthrough came in 2012, when her single "Call Me Maybe" achieved significant mainstream popularity; the song was the best-selling single of that year, reaching number one in 18 countries. As a result, she was signed to a joint worldwide record deal with School Boy Records and Interscope Records. Jepsen's second studio album, Kiss, was released later that year. It marked a greater shift into mainstream pop music and saw fair commercial success, reaching the top ten in Canada and the United States. In 2013 Jepsen made her Broadway stage debut as the titular character in Cinderella. In 2015 she released her third studio album, Emotion. It is noted for its influence from 1980s music as well as blending dance-pop and synth-pop with indie sensibilities. While less commercially successful than Kiss, it saw the success of its lead single, "I Really Like You", and received critical acclaim. In 2016 Jepsen performed in the television special Grease: Live and lent her voice to the animated film Ballerina. Her fourth studio album, Dedicated, was released on May 17, 2019, along with a follow-up, Dedicated Side B releasing a year later on May 21, 2020.
