Hilltop Live Africa and Universal Music South Africa, in
partnership with 94.7
and MTV announced
today, two dates for
Carly Rae Jepsen, the Grammy Award-nominated
multi-platinum-selling Canadian recording artist, as part of her E.MO.TION
album release in South Africa. The “Call Me Maybe” and “I Really Like You”
singer will perform at Grand Arena, GrandWest, Cape Town on 21 October 2015 and
the Monument Amphitheatre, Pretoria on 24 October 2015. Carly Rae Jepsen’s new
album, E-MO-TION, is the follow-up to Jepsen's U.S. debut album Kiss, which
featured her blockbuster break-out hit "Call Me Maybe." "Call Me
Maybe" climbed to No. 1 on the iTunes Singles charts in over 47 countries
and has sold over 17 million singles worldwide to date. It earned Jepsen 2012
GRAMMY nominations for Best Pop Solo Performance and Song of the Year. Kiss
also spawned the follow-up hit "Good Time," a duet with Owl City,
which has been certified double-platinum. Jepsen spent much of 2014 starring in
the Broadway production of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella, earning rave
reviews. The first single released from E-MO-TION, "I Really Like
You," became a global Top 40 hit and earned a host of positive reviews
from such outlets as Spin, People, TIME, Nylon, Paper, BuzzFeed and more.
The video for "I Really Like You,"
which co-stars Tom Hanks, has racked up more than 85 million Vevo views. Carly
Rae Jepsen’s new album E.MO.TION will be released to South African stores on 21
August. The new single “Run Away with Me” can now be heard on 94.7
