Pop star teams with Lenovo
Carly Rae Jepsen is teaming with Lenovo and Intel to produce a first-of-its-kind, Broadway-inspired music video for her single “Surrender My Heart” from her critically acclaimed fifth studio album The Loneliest Time, which dropped on October 21st via 604/Schoolboy/Interscope. Collaborators on the new LP include Rufus Wainwright, Captain Cuts, John Hill, Kyle Shearer, Alex Hope, Tavish Crowe, Rostam Batmanglij and Bullion.
Performing in the heart of New York City on November 17th, Jepsen will showcase her love of Broadway by bringing theater goers on a journey through her newest music video, all performed on stage in front of a live audience. Leading up to the performance, Jepsen will work with an all-star creative team to bring her Broadway pop vision to life with signature vibrant colors and the addition of some exciting cameos, truly making this an unforgettable one night only experience for fans in attendance.
“It’s almost impossible for me to express how much passion I have for theater and I’m beyond excited that Lenovo and Intel are going on this journey with me to turn one of my new tracks into a live Broadway inspired music video,” Jepsen shares. “Broadway was hit especially hard throughout the pandemic and I love that I will have the opportunity to utilize my new music to bring attention to this inspiring community.”
A limited number of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut fans, 21 and older, will have the chance to win access to this exclusive live event. Additionally, specific props and costumes from the music video will be auctioned off at a later date to benefit charities close to Jepsen’s heart.
From stage lighting control to the ability to map out each second on stage, Lenovo laptops based on the Intel Evo platform will be on-hand to help Jepsen bring her creative vision to fruition. Leading up to the performance, Lenovo will be supplying technology products that provide the productivity, versatility, and world-class features needed to put on a show of this magnitude. These devices will enable all cast members and production crew to bring their unique skills to life, setting a new bar for live performances and ensuring that the event will be talked about for years to come. Lenovo and Jepsen will tease the rehearsal process and the frantic behind the scenes action expected from any live Broadway performance on social media throughout pre-production and the day of the actual show.
Jepsen is currently in the mist of her The So Nice Tour, which wraps North American dates on November 5th in Chicago. She will kick off a European leg in February 2023 before heading Down Under in March 2023.
