Insanely quick. I posted it within 2 minutes of it going live in the UK

I think the controversy is dumb, personally. There is no other era of pop where this would be controversial, but we're in an era where something cant just be mildly not good. So we have to create problems out of it. I appreciate what arguing about male gaze is trying to fix, but at a certain point it feels like it goes beyond its intended goal to become about insulting women for liking sex. And especially in a world where men sexualize everything no matter what you do, trying to police women to stop men from doing that feels backwards. And it gets worse when people argue that it glorifies DV. I'm sorry thats what is in your head, but imo this whole thing is an outrage in search of a problem, and thats the first thing that people could throw at it to try to find the problem. Personally, I dont like the cover. It looks like an outtake, it's not esthetically enjoyable, I wouldnt display it, and most importantly I dont think I'd ever become interested in hearing an album with this cover unless i was already a fan. I dont understand why anyone would see the 3 covers she has released and select that one to be the standard edition. But it's not problematic, it's just a bad cover

Yeah it's my favorite one by far of the 3

She just dropped a 2nd alt cover.

I really like that sound for Sabrina, and I hope she explores it more someday, but those synth trumpets or whatever you call them in the post chorus hurt my ears. I love the remix that removes them though.

Oh yeah, no worries, it might even be better cause then youll have MBF as well.

Yeah, I definitely think this is a really popular feeling. I think her personality, not to say it wasnt in her old music, but it was kinda muddied with Hollywood records execs getting in the way through her first 4 albums. You can hear it in songs like Sue Me, but it's much less visible as a complete package. And EICS she finally gets a chance to get more of a say in her music, and she does start to show her personality in that record, but it's covered in the sadness of all the stuff she was going through. But then the personality driven songs really take off and she puts distance between all the events of EICS. The stars kind of aligned perfectly in that the world decided they wanted Sabrina Carpenter at the same time she was capable of delivering herself fully for the first time.

Yeah thats a rough introduction lol, probably my least favorite song in her discography. Because I liked a boy is everything skin wishes it could be

I'm excited for this! I heard people saying it should happen but I didnt expect to be selected as mod, so thats really cool. Hope we can have some great discussions over there and have a good time

I honestly think above perhaps anything else, her showmanship is what made her blow up. Her music is great, but she just absolutely owns a stage. I saw the clips from hungry like the wolf and people had a good reaction for bringing out Duran Duran but they didnt seem to react much for the song. Which is a shame because I havent heard much from Simon Le Bon live but he absolutely killed it, his voice hasnt aged a day.

Ooh, when you get the chance to listen to them, come back and post, if youre willing. Would be really interesting to hear what you liked/disliked from all of them after hearing them like that

I get it. I cant relate but I get it. Please is such a different song than Espresso sonically, and she has said it was the first time she could fully embracing being funny while talking about a more real topic. Which really i think was a big part of why short n sweet became what it is

Banger of a song. Those "hey, huh"s in the chorus is for me the best sound she had pre-emails i cant send

Hey everyone! Welcome to the new Sabrina Carpenter artist forum, a lot of people have asked for it and here we are! I figured as an introduction to this page, i'd ask for everyone's introduction to sabrina. For me, I grew up as a huge boy meets world fan, the original run was before my time but I loved watching re-runs of it on TV whenever it came on. So when girl meets world was announced, i was so excited. And one day I decided to check if i'd seen any of the actors in anything else, and i found her debut single Can't Blame a Girl for Trying, and I was sold. A little over a decade later here we are, anticipating her 7th album! So when was your introduction?

I'm fine with albums that are old staying in the charts, imo if your album is popular enough to stay high like some of these albums you deserve the spot you get. But these greatest hits albums to me are silly. You get double rewarded for having multiple successful albums, essentially.

Its not a replica, it's a reference. The photo she's referencing is a lively dance floor where Marilyn and her husband are in full embrace looking at the same thing in the distance. In Sabrina's cover, nobody is dancing, Sabrina's man is not embracing her and in fact is completely ignoring her, all the men are wearing black suits that fade perfectly into the background while sabrina stands out in a silver dress. It means the tone of the two pictures are different and tell two entirely different stories. Marilyn's vibe is full of fun, Sabrina's reference of it is kinda depressing

I get that interpretation, but I think both covers, the name of the album, and manchild (as well as the video) convey the same message: men are dumb and bad and she's dumb and bad for continuing to stay with them after they show who they are. She's clinging onto the idea of him while he doesn't give a damn about her. In manchild, she jokes she likes her men incompetent. Clearly she doesnt, with how much she rags on them, she's just saying basically "my actions show i must like them, if i keep going for these guys." The name i think says both men treat her terribly and that she is man's best friend because she forgives terrible behavior. I think it's all really consistent. I think the album is going to explore the same themes and come out to realize she's better off without men like this, which is why we got the blindfold visual, and why manchild is track 1. In her last 2 albums, track 1 is big and bold and full of complicated feelings, the album explores these feelings, and then she's left with the natural conclusion of exploring these feelings with the final track.

Iirc, they released the alt cover cd really late last time, idk why

Big merch drop today including signed bundles and the alt cover she said on Instagram was "approved by God" Link to store

It really is. And as I understand, I havent seen the movie, but its a this is spinal tap reference? Which makes this whole controversy even sillier. Like, to me the worst you can say is that it missed her intended mark. And honestly I'd agree with that. I dont like the cover really, i dont like how it is shot, and I wouldnt ever display it. But failing to make a good cover and a problematic are two different things. Anyway the cover controversy seems to be calming down so maybe its best to let it

My favorite wrestler is Dom and I adore Livdom as a on screen couple so I was so happy when I saw this. It's funny to see the comments in comparison between this and the actual cover.

So Manchild's lead is 30k less on Spotify than it was this time last week. I'd imagine itll go ahead tomorrow but that only leaves it 4 days to gain 2500 or so units to make up for the lack of vinyls

Best take for me. I like the numbers sabrina is putting up, but After that huge day 1, Alex was cutting into her lead every day (even after she retook the spotify lead), and sabrina is benefiting from a ridiculous amount of press and the fact she just went #1 adds to it. I wanna see another day and first look before I make any declarations

As long as she leads by more than 43,913 today, she'll be ahead of where she was last week at the same time

Also they did a big promo thing where they projected some visuals on the Elizabeth tower and a few other places, and in that she's totally in control, blindfolding the guy and whatnot.
