Man’s best friend, First, it is the story of a controversy. A year just after Short n ‘sweet, The seventh studio album by Sabrina Carpenter, announced a June morning, had created the surprise … Before putting together controversy. The cover presented the artist from 26 years to four legs, the demacred expression and the hair thrown by a man whose face was not seen. A photo that had relaunched the debate on the hypersexualization of female artists: retrograde images or emancipatory nose to the patriarchy?
The expectations in this compilation, published this Friday, August 29, were necessarily immense. Would a provocative cover contain explosive titles? Collaboration with Jack Antonoff – Lana del Rey Tubes Maker, Taylor Swift or Kendrick Lamar – Would you guarantee the music slaps with each track? Unfortunately, it is not.
Sabrina Carpenter offers a dance album, even entertaining, but Oh without brilliance. Predictable like everything and far from the freshness of your Short n ‘sweetlaunched a year earlier, and carried by flagrant successes such as Espresso EITHER Please.
Some Pepitas
Twelve titles during, the composer edges in his favorite niche: his relationships with men, his sarcastic vision of the couple and masculinity, and the love stories that, this time, end badly. If the album with pop, disc and country sounds is adorned with a new bitterness, without falling into the dark, it remains the almost mechanical impression that the artist gives the public what he wants, without any authenticity. On the contrary of a Roan Chappell that, in the same record, delivers raw and sincere texts.
Carpenter firm, many are the songs that distil some touches of humor, not saying joy. As PenguinSingle that opens and carries the album, with its pop synthesizers used but effective, in which the singer criticizes a man, his immaturity.
EITHER Tearswhich details his growing emotion in front of a lover who assumes domestic tasks: what could be more attractive than washing the plates and setting up an Ikea wardrobe, is true. Unfortunately, the interest of this song stops there: the vaguely discam Yes sir, I can boogie of baccara.
Incorrect factories and mockery also give way to the songs to break, or even revenge. Difficult not to think of Barry Keoghan, the last relationship of the artist known in Never get. In this song, Sabrina Carpenter wishes her ex, “a life full of happiness / and an eternity without kissing.” A successful title, supported by soft and ice cream synthesizers, Little Heart so far in the artist’s repertoire.
The same rhythmic Tour at home – In which the pin -Up icon invites a man in his room, surprises with his percussion and his rhythm in the Jackson Michael. These two compositions are, unfortunately, the only cucumber of the album. Much less anticipated titles than honey We almost separated again last night EITHER Don’t worry, I’ll make you worry.
Disc and the country fades
In addition, it is not Abba or Dolly Parton, what you want. Sabrina Carpenter pays tribute to her idols without being able to withstand the comparison. As Go Goice – Itinerary of a woman in a bar after her breakup, which pours into country pop without great imagination.
Bye Nor does it inevitably exceed the shadow of Abba and the geniuses Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus (the singer is so fanatic that she also named two cats in homage to the two composers of the Swedish group). In this song, which closes the album, Sabrina Carpenter says goodbye to her ex: “Goodbye means you lose me forever”.
With Man’s best friendSabrina Carpenter would lose us forever? After these twelve unequal titles, without saying disappointing, we no longer mean “see you soon, maybe” that “goodbye”. With the desire to recover the vivacity of Short n ‘sweet, And our love for once.
