Carly Rae Jepsen Hits the Road for a Fall Tour

EDGE READ TIME: 2 MIN.

Multi-platinum, GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen will hit the road for a fall headlining tour in support of her critically acclaimed new album "E�MO�TION," which was released in August via Schoolboy Records/Interscope. The tour kicks off on November 9 in Washington DC with stops in Boston, New York City and Philadelphia. More dates are to be announced soon. A pre-sale on Fahlo begins this Wednesday, September 30, and tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, October 2.

"E�MO�TION" has earned Jepsen a host of rave reviews, with several outlets - including TIME, Entertainment Weekly, People, Stereogum, Vulture, Complex, Newsday, Noisey, Us, and PopCrush - declaring it the pop album of the year so far. Rolling Stone has called "E�MO�TION" a "pop masterclass," while New York magazine raves that it is "rapturous, hook-filled...as big and churning as tidal waves...a joyful freedom from the pop game's stuffy rules." The New York Times notes that "E�MO�TION" is "brimming with potential radio singles ripe for group sing-alongs." Two of those singles have already been released, "Run Away With Me" and "I Really Like You." The latter became a global Top 40 hit, and its video is Vevo Certified with over 100 million views.

"E�MO�TION" is the follow-up to Jepsen's U.S. debut album "Kiss," which featured her blockbuster break-out hit "Call Me Maybe." The single climbed to No. 1 on the iTunes Singles charts in over 47 countries and has sold over 18 million singles worldwide to date. It earned Jepsen 2012 GRAMMY nominations for Best Pop Solo Performance and Song of the Year. "Kiss" also spawned the follow-up hit "Good Time," a duet with Owl City, which has been certified double-platinum. Jepsen spent much of 2014 starring in the Broadway production of "Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella," earning rave reviews.
