Overview

• Sabrina Carpenter’s seventh studio album is out now via Island Records with 12 tracks, nine marked explicit.
• Lead single “Manchild” previously hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and a Colman Domingo–starring video for “Tears” premiered with the album.
• On CBS Mornings, Carpenter said the record is “not for any pearl clutchers” and defended the provocative cover as commentary on control, later quipping critics “need to get out more.”
• Co-produced with Jack Antonoff and John Ryan with contributions from Amy Allen, the set blends ’70s disco and country-pop textures with live-instrument arrangements and tongue-in-cheek lyricism.
• Complex is hosting pop-up experiences Aug. 29–Sept. 1 at 433 N Fairfax Ave in Los Angeles and 152 Wooster St in New York, open 11 a.m.–7 p.m. local time.
