By Dany Mireles

The lively lyrics and upbeat beats of Sabrina Carpenter’s brand new album “Short N Sweet” will have you wanting to dance around with your friends. This record represents the artist’s growth as a musician and as a person, being the most powerful work we have seen from her. The singer gained recognition and has been emerging as one of the most significant pop musicians currently , after opening for Taylor Swift on "The Eras Tour" in Latin America and dropping the lead single of the album, “Espresso.” the singer has been haunting fans who are hooked on her unserious and exciting songs.

The record features hooks that make the listeners want more in every song, despite the album’s recurring theme of love, whether it’s foolish love, passionate love, adultery or heartbreak, the singer covers it all in her brand new pop album. Just like the title, the album is indeed short and sweet, it cruises a variety of emotions and musical genres in over 36 minutes.

The song “Taste” features a music video in which the singer stars along with actress Jenna Ortega in a music video inspired by the Oscar winning film “Death Becomes Her.” “I heard you’re back together and if that’s true/ You’ll just have to taste me when he’s kissin’ you,” Carpenter sings, as they battle one another with lethal weapons over a man and they keep resurrecting from their deaths to continue their conflict.

“Juno” is an album highlight, inspired by the movie with the same name starring Elliot Page. The song is a fun upbeat song that talks about being in love with someone and dreams to end up like Juno in the movie, pregnant for someone who truly cares about her and the concept of family. “If you love me right, then who knows? / I might let you make me Juno.” The guitar riff at the end of the song perfectly combines with the fun beats of the rest of the song.

The closing track, “Don’t Smile” is different from the rest on the record. This song contains more synths and talks about heartbreak. “​​My heart is heavy now, it's like a hundred pounds

/ It's fallin' faster than the way you love to shut me down.” The lyrics talk about her struggle of moving on from the relationship as her partner carried memories and yearns for that love to come back to her as the memories linger within her.

The album is a perfect collection of pop tracks that will resonate with listeners or that are simply fun to listen to. Whether you love pop music or not, this album will inevitably make you want to be listening to this album with your best friends. This album also shows the growth that Sabrina Carpenter has had since her last album, she is here to deliver a refreshing pop sound with fun lyrics, and claim herself as someone with importance in the pop music industry.
