Carly Rae Jepsen waits for her car outside the Sunset Marquis Hotel on Thursday night (August 9) in West Hollywood, Calif.

Earlier this week, the 26-year-old musician announced the drop date of her new album, Kiss.

“These are lyric and song ideas that I have been collecting over the years,” Carly shared about the album. “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.”

Kiss drops September 18th.
