Canadian pop sensation Carly Rae Jepsen will be back in Manila on August 12 to hold a concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Carly Rae Jepsen’s chart-topping and undeniably hooky pop hit charm has, once again, taken over her Filipino fans.

Headlining her one-night only show is her lead single and catchy chart-topper “I Really Like You” off her latest album “E·MO·TION”.

She says “E·MO·TION” became the result of experimentation and creative soul-searching that thrived along with her passion as an artist. Many of the album’s tracks were born out of Jepsen’s ideas at the back of her tour bus. To add flavor and extra oomph to her musical genius, she has teamed up some of

the most talented songwriters for today’s hottest musical artists including Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Ariana Grande, Charli XCX, and One Direction among others for this project.

“E·MO·TION” is a follow-up to her 2012 US debut album “Kiss” which featured the globally head-bopping and viral breakout single “Call Me Maybe” – which astoundingly climbed to #1 on the iTunes Singles charts in more than 47 countries, with over 17 million singles sold worldwide, and earned Jepsen Grammy Award nominations for Best Pop Solo Performance and Song of the Year in 2012. This was followed up by a certified double-platinum hit off the album “Kiss” – “Good Time”, a duet with American electronica artist Owl City.

Jepsen independently released her first album, “Tug of War” in 2008. Several years after, she landed a record deal with Schoolboy Records/Interscope before coming out with her major-label debut.
