It’s only been a year since Carly Rae Jepsen dropped her latest album The Loneliest Time, and its spiritual successor is already on the way. “Call Me Maybe” singer officially announced the release date of her seventh LP The Loveliest Time, set to come out later this month.

Shortly after announcing The Loveliest Time on social media, the Canadian singer decided to share some more exciting news about this record. Its release date has officially been confirmed, and we’ll get to hear her new album in full on July 28.

In an official statement announcing her new LP, Jepsen said that “after a season of hibernation comes the season of blossoming.” She’s ready to embrace a different energy after getting to know loneliness and discovering the beauty in it on her previous record.

“The loneliest time taught me that growth comes from being planted in darkness. But now the world has opened itself back up again and in turn so have we. It’s time for celebration and for all the lessons we have learned to burst into joyful action,” she wrote on social media.

Since The Loveliest Time serves as the companion piece to her previous album, it will feature songs from sessions for The Loneliest Time, along with the first single “Shy Boy”.
