Reviewing Sabrina Carpenter’s Genre-Bending and Lyrically Witty Music Project

When he’s kissing, the lyrics are out of pocket.
Oh, it’s an Ariana Grande song.
Haha. This is like beat for Beat,
Bar for Bar. Ariana.
I’m liking this. This is smooth.
Now this is Jack Antonoff.
I don’t even need to look it up.
Got a bleachers vibe to it.
This is like. This is like bordering on stomp and holler.
Bed cam. Are we going 80s?
What are we doing? Here
we are.
Oh,
the 1975. Who?
My favorite so far is Bed Cam.
That last one we just heard.
Thank you. Why are we jacking off?
Leonard Cohen.
Oh, now we’re doubling down on the Casey Musgrave vibes.
At least it’s good country production.
You think she’d let him knock her up?
It’s an addicting ass chorus.
Oh, she just flat out said it.
This is very Olivia Rodrigo. I agree.
That line’s hard, actually.
Man I trust, man I trust. Is that you?
Wait, you sound like Callie. Ugh. Just in this verse,
I. I don’t think I know what a Sabrina Carpenter song sounds like still.
You know what I mean? I don’t know what her style is.
I don’t really know exactly where to put her.
She was kind of in everyone’s bag here.
She did an Ariana Grande song.
She did kind of a 80s almost.
1975 asks. She went Casey Musgrave’s. Uh,
there’s a lot going on here.
There’s kind of 2 pop rock song that they open with.
What is distinct About her is her lyrics.
I think the really clever,
funny, kind of out of pocket lyricism,
I think, is a pretty defining characteristic of, uh,
Sabrina Carpenter’s music.
And I think that’s cool. I think that’s good.
I think overall, this was a successful outing for her.
I think, overall, this is a good project from Sabrina.
I like this more than emails I can’t send.
And I think that just because a lot of these songs feel a lot tighter,
they feel like they have, like,
a more specific vision to them.
I think it’s fine. I think it’s good.
