Known for hits like “Espresso” and “Please Please Please,” Quakertown-born Sabrina Carpenter has quickly risen to pop royalty, writes Annabel Nugent for The Independent.
With the release of her new album “Short n Sweet,” she’s poised to dominate the pop scene.
“Espresso” dominated playlists this summer, but “Please Please Please” earned her first No. 1 hit, thanks to its catchy, country-inflected charm and a music video featuring her Oscar-winning beau, Barry Keoghan. Despite rumors of their split, the excitement surrounding Carpenter’s new album remains undiminished.
Carpenter’s music, with its playful innuendos and sugary sweetness, has become a fan favorite, dominating TikTok’s Top 10 songs of the summer.
Short n’ Sweet, her sixth album, is expected to build on the genre-blending style of her previous record, Emails I Can’t Send, with inspiration from Nineties pop.
With “Espresso” becoming the third-fastest song to reach a billion streams on Spotify, expectations are sky-high. Sabrina Carpenter is no longer just a former Disney star; she’s a leading voice in pop music.
As she prepares to release Short n’ Sweet, all eyes are on Carpenter, who is poised to deliver another hit-filled album that will keep her at the top of the charts.
