Carly Rae Jepsen Drops "After All," First Taste of Double Album "Day and Night"

Carly Rae Jepsen released her newest single "After All" on July 16, 2026, serving as the lead single for her upcoming double album Day and Night. The track departs from her trademark pop gloss in favor of a softer, soul-inflected texture — Consequence described the sound as closer to Jungle or Khruangbin: warm, lived-in, and carrying an easy sense of luxury.

"After All": A Sonic Turn

Production-wise, "After All" moves clearly away from mainstream radio-pop territory, built instead on a more organic, subdued arrangement. Consequence called the track "warm, lived in, and luxurious" — a marked departure from the synth-dense sound of Jepsen's Emotion era.

The single is set to appear on Day and Night, which will be released as a double album. Full release date and tracklist have not yet been announced.

Background

Carly Rae Jepsen has spent recent years working steadily within the independent label space, with Emotion (2015) and her subsequent releases building a broad, cross-generational fanbase. If "After All" is any indication, Day and Night could mark a notable creative extension toward neo-soul and groove-driven textures. For now, only "After All" is officially available on streaming platforms — fans should watch for further updates on the full album.
