As summer 2024, unfortunately, speeds to an end (this whole year has gone at the speed of The Flash), one name has given us the pop music soundtrack the season requires – Sabrina Carpenter. With her chart-topping hits Espresso and Please, Please, Please, Carpenter has solidified her status as the singer of the summer.
These tracks not only showcase Carpenter’s musical evolution but also highlight why she has become a pop sensation, captivating audiences worldwide. Combine these irresistible hits with Carpenter’s flirty, fun, and feminine look, she takes the title of “The Bad Girl of Pop” and we are better for it.
The Rise of a Pop Icon
Carpenter has been a force in the entertainment industry since her early days on the Disney Channel, where she first captured hearts as Maya Hart on the hit series Girl Meets World. However, her talent extends far beyond acting.
Her music journey began with her debut album Eyes Wide Open in 2015, and she has since grown into a confident and mature artist. With each album, Carpenter has explored new sounds and themes, culminating in her latest singles.
Espresso and Please, Please, Please – The Soundtrack of Summer
Espresso is an infectious pop anthem that combines catchy melodies with lyrics that resonate with a generation seeking both fun and substance. The song’s upbeat tempo and Carpenter’s smooth vocals make it an irresistible summer hit.
Its popularity skyrocketed after it was featured on multiple summer playlists, earning millions of streams and solidifying its place as the go-to track for beach parties, road trips, and everything in between. Watch the infectious video from director Dave Meyers below:
Meanwhile, Please, Please, Please showcases a different side of Carpenter’s artistry. This soulful ballad is a heartfelt plea for understanding and connection, demonstrating her vocal range and emotional depth. The track reveals a more vulnerable side of the artist, exploring the complexities of love and heartbreak.
The single’s music video, featuring Irish actor and Saltburn star, Barry Keoghan, adds an extra layer of intrigue and drama, making it one of the most talked-about releases of the year. The couple reportedly broke up last week. Watch below:
