Carly Rae Jepsen - Sunshine On My Shoulders

Carly Rae Jepsen is a Canadian singer / songwriter from Mission, B.C. In the summer of 2007 she was a contestant on the fifth season of Canadian Idol, placing third. She was also a part of the Canadian Idol Top 3 concert tour. After completing the tour, Carly retreated to B.C. to focus on writing, recording and completing her band. Her demos attracted a flurry of attention, and she was eventually signed a joint management deal with Simkin Artist Management, and Dexter Entertainment. A deal with Fontana/Maple Music quickly followed, leading Carly Rae into the studio with producer Ryan Stewart. On June 16, 2008, Carly released her debut single, a cover of John Denver's song "Sunshine On My Shoulders". It is the only cover song on her debut album. On July 21, 2008, Carly added two new songs from the album to her MySpace page: "Bucket" and "Heavy Lifting". A recent update to her MySpace page announced that the album's title will be Tug of War, and it will be released on September 30, 2008. The page also mentions two more songs that will be included on the album: "Tug of War" and "Sweet Talker". The latter was performed by her as her Canadian Idol audition.
