Sabrina Carpenter Drops "Taste" of New Album 'Short n' Sweet'
Sabrina Carpenter has whetted fans' appetites ahead of her upcoming album release with a tantalising snippet of her new song, "Taste." The 25-year-old singer shared the teaser on Thursday, August 22nd, via her Instagram story, just a day before the release of her third studio album, *Short n' Sweet*.
Carpenter announced the album's imminent arrival with a simple but effective message, writing: "Go to my profile to hear a taste of short n' sweet now ð." The sneak peek is exclusively available through Instagram's new music feature, allowing users to add songs directly to their profiles.
The "Taste" teaser follows a week of teasing from Carpenter, who first alluded to the song's release in a Tuesday, August 20th Instagram post. The post featured a series of images, including one of Carpenter in pink lingerie, and the simple caption "taste me!"
The following day, on Wednesday, August 21st, Carpenter shared a short clip from the "Taste" music video. The brief glimpse offers a taste of the song's dark and dramatic tone, with Carpenter seen vengefully searching for a "certain beau" and his mistress (played by *Scream
star Jenna Ortega). Carpenter's chilling voice delivers the lyrics, "Oh I leave quite an impression," as she fixes her lipstick, using a knife blade as a mirror, before the clip abruptly cuts to the title card.
Carpenter originally announced *Short n' Sweet
on June 3rd via Instagram, sharing the album's cover art â a striking image of Carpenter with long blonde hair cascading down her back, a dark red kiss mark on her left shoulder, and a deep blue backdrop. "MY NEW ALBUM IS COMING OUT AUGUST 23rd!!!!ð,â she wrote. âThis project is quite special to me and I hope itâll be something special to you too.â
Weeks later, Carpenter announced her 2024 *Short 'n' Sweet
headlining tour across North America, which will kick off on Monday, September 23rd in Columbus, Ohio. This 29-performance run will be a significant milestone in Carpenter's career, following the success of her recent singles and performances.
The release of *Short n' Sweet
marks a new chapter for Carpenter, who has seen significant success with her singles "Espresso" and "Please Please Please." "Espresso," which became her first top-five entry on the *Billboard* Hot 100 and her first No. 1 in the UK, Ireland, and Australia, solidified Carpenter's status as a pop music force. The track's success also led to a collaboration with Van Leeuwen ice cream for an appropriately named "Espresso" flavour.
Carpenter's upcoming album, *Short n' Sweet*, promises to be a compelling and exciting release. With the successful release of "Espresso" and "Please Please Please" and the anticipation surrounding "Taste," Carpenter is poised to captivate audiences with her new music and mark a significant step in her career.
