Sabrina Carpenter Releases New Album
For her latest album, Sabrina Carpenter has reunited with her close friends and former collaborators from "Emails I Can't Send," including John Ryan, Julian Bunetta, Julia Michaels, Amy Allen, and Steph Jones.
Sheâs also joined forces with acclaimed producer Jack Antonoff, who is recognized for his work with Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey, and Ian Kirkpatrick, who is well-known for his collaborations with Dua Lipa and Selena Gomez.
"[Short n' Sweet] is very different from [her] last album," she said, per Just Jared. "Where I questioned it until the day before it came out, like, âIs it done?â and, âCould I have changed it?â and âCould I have written another song?â"
"And to be fair, I do have a hard time with the fact that I do feel like life doesnât stop," she added. "So itâs really hard to tell when a chapter of your life should be book-ended.â
Sabrina Carpenter Talks About Making 'Short n' Sweet'
Carpenter later confessed that her reasoning "doesnât really make sense, other than the fact that you just have a feeling."
"I know it sounds very clichĂ©, but you just know," she said. "And there was a moment where I just knew. And it wasnât even like, âOh, and I wrote the 12th song.' It was all of these things that I had been trying to put into words for a brief chapter in my life that I was like, âYou know what? Iâm good for the next week and then Iâm going to write another album.â Itâs like I was just ready to close it."
Why Did She Name The Album 'Short n' Sweet'?
Ahead of its release, the former Disney Channel star explained that she called the album "Short n Sweet" not because sheâs "vertically challenged" but because she really "thought about some of these relationships and how some of them were the shortest Iâve ever had and they affected me the most."
"I think about the way that I respond to situations, and sometimes it is very nice and sometimes itâs not very nice," the artist continued. "And again, the thing about albums, projects, writing songs, itâs all moments. So harder for other people to understand that when theyâre listening to something thatâs going to take them through maybe a lot of years, hopefully a lot of years, is that Iâm not the same person that I was when I wrote that."
"Iâve always yearned to care enough about a person or a situation or a relationship in my life that it provokes that much feeling in me because I think thatâs why weâre here, I think, you know?â she concluded.
