Overview

• The seventh studio album arrives with 12 tracks featuring contributions from Jack Antonoff, Amy Allen and John Ryan, and it is released via Island Records.
• A vividly styled video for second single "Tears" landed at midnight, featuring Colman Domingo in a campy, horror-tinged storyline.
• Most tracks carry explicit tags, the original cover art drew criticism before Carpenter issued alternates, and early reviews include a harsh assessment from The Times.
• Lead single "Manchild," released in June, became Carpenter’s second No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, signaling strong commercial momentum.
• Promotion includes a Spotify-hosted fan party at Hollywood Forever Cemetery and Complex pop-ups running 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.
