Carly Rae Jepsen unveiled her KISS artwork

Carly Rae Jepsen unveiled her KISS artworkNot long ago, Carly Rae Jepsen announced she's ready to release her new album KISS, but recently shared the artwork for the album via Twitter. The 26-year-old released the cover of her new record, and opposed to the sepia-esque cover art of her previous LP, Tug Of War (which featured Carly staring off seriously at something a way's away), this one basks in its pop sensibility, favoring pastels and a clear, classic shot of its star.

While the studio installment is yet to be made available for public, Justin Bieber has got a chance to listen to it and given it a thumb-up. Heaping praise to his fellow Canadian artist's effort, the "Boyfriend" singer tweeted, "@carlyraejepsen listened to your album today at rehearsal with @scooterbraun and the crew. GREAT JOB! #KISS"

At the same time, Carly was unveiled as the artist which has the longest reigning single of 2012 with "Call Me Maybe", which is a big enough smash to make her sophomore album, Kiss, a surefire hit.

She surpassed Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" which sat on the summit for eight weeks. The catchy summer song is pushed to No. 3, with Flo Rida's "Whistle" taking the throne.
