In this review, Jillian Selzer explores how Sabrina Carpenter almost made a no-skip project with her latest album Short n' Sweet.
In this op-ed, social media manager Jillian Selzer reviews the buzzy Short n' Sweet, the latest studio album by pop star Sabrina Carpenter , ranking, rating, and unpacking the impact and longevity of what Selzer calls an “almost no-skip album.' The quality of Sabrina Carpenter 's second album with Island Records seems to confirm that the two are in a mutually beneficial relationship.
While lyrics on tracks like “Lie to Girls” are particularly brutal and heavy, the music lends itself to lackluster emotion; Carpenter struggles to convey sadness or loneliness as strongly as she does anger or passion, with the exception of the fantastic, emotional title track of Emails I Can't Send. When it comes to her two breakout singles from the project, “Please Please Please” and “Espresso,' the latter earworm fails to mesh when placed within the context of the album.
