"I concur there are flops ("Don't Worry I'll Make You Worry"), bops ("Go-Go Juice"), and a lot of the same schtick from Short n' Sweet. Is it cynical to market oneself as an enemy to the male gaze yet spend the bulk of an album waxing poetic about the many prospective partners that treat you like...well, a dog? Probably! But kudos to Carpenter for capitalizing upon the hypocrisy we've all embodied at one time in our lives (or still do)"
"Unveiled on Friday, the video opens with Carpenter-paying homage to the horror damsels of yore-waking up beside her car. She's crashed outside a spooky house only to discover its inhabitants are a gaggle of shes, theys, and gays in full drag (including one very famous one: Colman Domingo!) Of course, Carpenter wanders in and it's only a matter of time before she winds up whirling around with Domingo in her signature lingerie and stockings."
Sabrina Carpenter released her seventh studio album, Man's Best Friend, on Friday. Critical reception is split: The Guardian praised the album as "smut and stunning craft from pop's best in show," The Independent called it "half-baked," and The Times labeled it "vanilla." The album contains flops ("Don't Worry I'll Make You Worry"), bops ("Go-Go Juice"), and recurring themes from Short n' Sweet. The single "Tears" foregrounds attraction to responsible partner behaviors and includes the lyric "I get wet at the thought of you being a responsible guy." The "Tears" video is a Rocky Horror–inspired sequence featuring drag performers and Colman Domingo.
