Carly Rae Jepsen’s new double album “Day and Night” disproves the taboo notion that happiness in a relationship can lead to a musical decline.

Previously, her lyricism in songwriting stemmed from her failures in relationships and desire for love. However, Jepsen recently started a family with her husband and music producer Cole M.G.N. Prior to the release of the album, some fans were concerned about how her relationship status would affect her music style — possibly leading to a decline in heartfelt songwriting and pristine music crafting. Instead, Jepsen’s relationship has evidently supported her creative inspiration.

Jepsen has always released songs in abundance. Her three albums before “Day and Night” were accompanied by either a “Side B” of tracks that did not make it onto the album or a companion record. With this release, Jepsen did away with the wait and released “Day and Night” as a double album.

These two works exist in distinct musical and lyrical spaces, making it easier to identify if each track embodies a day- or nighttime-esque energy. Thus, other ideas are able to be explored simultaneously without concern for the function of each song in the album.

The Day side focuses on a 1970s-inspired sound and shows Jepsen’s most experimental side. Previously focused on pristine disco-pop, Jepsen ventures out across the spectrum of pop on the Day tracks. Lead single “On Wires” is sonically distinct from her earlier work, showcasing a wonderfully jarring collision of guitar and her signature vocal style.

Other standouts from the Day side include “Versailles,” where Jepsen switches tempos between the verses and chorus. While the switch could be abrasive and unwelcome, it is instead well matched by the music and lyrics. “Burning Heart” is a guitar-filled pop song with an excellent saxophone solo — “Good Fine Alright” also reaches a songwriting peak that discusses the feelings after a breakup.

The Night half of the double album takes a sleeker approach, with a callback to her disco-pop style. Although this half of the record is admittedly less strong than Day, it still contains well-thought-out and well-written pop music. “Never Let a Good Thing Die” is an amazing return to the synthy, club-esque sound to open up this half of the tracklist, while “Patience Power Passion” and “Motivation” show Jepsen adventuring into a house-like sound.

Overall, Jepsen’s vision comes to life in this album with her desire to capture a blurred, dreamlike sense of time where the days dissolve into nights. Her writing has never been better as she beautifully captures her current state of mind through the lyrics and music that accompany them. She balances reflecting on past negative experiences, current joy and excitedly looking forward to her future. Her music has never been this adventurous, with numerous detours into psychedelic, folk, house and other subgenres and styles she had yet to experiment with.

Being a double album, “Day and Night” can sometimes feel a little long, and some songs can get lost in the lengthy tracklist. Listening to the entire thing in one go is a daunting task, and splitting them up into Day and Night may be a more appealing way of listening.

Carly Rae Jepsen continues to produce excellent pop music in a way that highlights her love of the craft. Her pop music has a level of conviction behind it that is hard to match and makes her such an incredibly authentic artist.

“Day and Night” is an exceptional showcase of her skills as an artist, and any fan of pop music should give this one a listen.
