Carly Rae Jepsen is giving the people what they want and celebrating the 10th anniversary of her fan-favorite third album, E•MO•TION. The singer announced on Wednesday (July 16) that she will celebrate the 2015 LP featuring such hits as “I Really Like You” and “Run Away With Me” on August 19 with a serious underplay at the legendary 500-capacity L.A. club the Troubadour.
“How to celebrate 10 years of EMOTION? A one night only intimate club show where it all began, that’s how! Come party with us,” Jepsen wrote on Instagram. Tickets for the show go on sale Friday (July 18) at 10 a.m. PT.
Jepsen warned fans to be prepared for three things:
“1. EMOTION front to back2. some extra special guests and surprises3. that you will leave sweating and satisfied cause we aim to dance out allllll of the emotions! And on that note, dress the hell up! It’s a PARTY.”
Upon the album’s release, “Call Me Maybe” star and former self-described “goody goody” Jepsen told Billboard that after scoring that inescapable, totally safe for work Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit in 2012, her third effort had more of a “sexual thread.” Shaking it up by recording more than 200 tracks while working with such indie favorites as Dev Hynes (aka Blood Orange), Ariel Rechtshaid (Haim, Charli xcx), Sia, Greg Kurstin (Adele, Kendrick Lamar) and Rostam Batmanglij (Vampire Weekend, Haim), among others, she said, “There’s a stereotype idea of what a pop star is, and I don’t really fit into that. The expectation that every song you’re putting out is doing well on radio — that’s stuff that you can’t control. To try would drive you insane.”
In addition to critical acclaim, E•MO•TION debuted at No. 16 on the Billboard 200 album chart. On the one-year anniversary of the LP’s release, she dropped her third EP, E•MO•TION: Side B, which also leaned into a 1980s pop groove and hit No. 96 on the Billboard 200.
