Move over, good girls. Sabrina Carpenter’s trading bubblegum pop for Bonnie and Clyde vibes in her latest single, “Please, Please, Please.” Produced by the iconic Jack Antonoff and co-written with her go-to collaborator Amy Allen, the track hints at a darker, edgier sound for her upcoming album, “Short n’ Sweet,” dropping August 23rd.
Partners in Crime (and Catchy Tunes):
The accompanying music video, directed by Bardia Zeinali, throws Carpenter into a chaotic love story. We find her in a holding cell, reunited with her real-life beau, Barry Keoghan, who’s just been booked. But loyalty takes a wild turn as Carpenter becomes his accomplice in a hilarious string of crimes, from kidnapping to bank robbery! The video plays out like a fast-paced caper, with Keoghan getting repeatedly arrested and Carpenter his equally determined escape artist. The ending is a laugh-out-loud twist that leaves fans wanting more.
From Breakout Hit to Anticipated Album:
“Espresso” cemented Carpenter’s status as a pop force. Her electrifying Coachella performances propelled the song to a #7 debut on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #4. That momentum is clearly fueling the buzz for “Short n’ Sweet.”
Sabrina Carpenter’s journey to pop stardom started on Disney Channel’s “Girl Meets World,” followed by successful albums under Hollywood Records. After signing with Island Records, she released “Emails I Can’t Send” in 2022, garnering critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase. The deluxe edition, “Emails I Can’t Send Fwd,” further solidified her songwriting prowess. Her recent “Saturday Night Live” appearance showcased her captivating stage presence and signature dry wit.
Short, Sweet, and Full of Surprises:
With “Short n’ Sweet,” Carpenter promises a departure from her previous sound, embracing a playful rebelliousness. Her talent, combined with the star power of Jack Antonoff, suggests this album will be her most daring and commercially successful yet. So, ditch the expectations of sugary pop anthems and get ready for a wild ride with the new and (slightly) improved Sabrina Carpenter!
