popduck 2024. 8. 24. 13:28

안녕하세요. 음악을 좋아하는 팝덕 '팝오리'입니다.

 

오늘은 2024년 8월 24일 발매된 

Sabrina Carpenter의 정규 6집 'Short n' Sweet'에 대해서 리뷰해보려고 합니다.

ARTIST

- 이름 : Sabrina Ann Lynn Carpenter
- 출생 : 1999년 5월 11일
- 국적 : 미국
- 레이블 : 아일랜드 레코드
- 데뷔일 : 배우 2011년, 가수 2014년

 

TRACK LIST

 

 12곡으로 구성되어 있습니다.

INFORMATION

 

[앨범 소개]

카펜터는 4월과 6월에 각각 싱글 "Espresso"와 "Please Please Please"를 선공개 했습니다.

두 트랙 모두 내성적인 스토리텔링, 젊은 활기찬 모습, 그리고 사과할 줄 모르는 대담함이 혼합되어 있어요.

"Please Please Please"는 빌보드 핫 100 처음으로 1위를 차지했습니다.

이 싱글들의 성공과 놀라운 음악성을 고려할 때, "Short n'Sweet"는 굉장히 기대되네요.

두 트랙의 파워풀하고 여성스러운 전달력과 밝은 여름 분위기는 팬들이 아티스트의 6집 앨범에서 기대할 수 있는 내용입니다. 발매와 동시에 글로벌 스포티파이 차트에서 빠르게 1위로 올라선 '에스프레소'는 올 여름의 메가 히트작이였고, 그럴만한 이유는 충분히 넘쳐났습니다. '에스프레소'를 듣는 것은 함께 있는 친구들과 시원한 커피를 마시며 여름 날 해변에서 휴식을 취하는 것처럼 느껴지네요. 활기차고 장난스럽지만 대놓고 화려하진 않습니다.


카펜터는 "Please Please Please"에서 이와 비슷하게 적극적인 태도를 보여줍니다.

약간 더 가라앉은 트랙은 "Espresso"와 달리 좀 더 소울풀한 사운드를 불러옵니다.

가사는 대중의 눈 아래 면밀히 검토되는 관계에서 끊임없는 비판에 대처해야 하는 좌절감을 묘사합니다.

Oh, I leave quite an impression
Five feet to be exact
You're wondering why half his clothes went missing
My body's where they're at

Now I'm gone, but you're still layin'
Next to me, one degree of separation

I heard you're back together and if that's true
You'll just have to taste me when he's kissing you
If you want forever, I bet you do
Just know you'll taste me too

Uh-huh
He pins you down on the carpet
Makes paintings with his tongue (La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
He's funny now, all his jokes hit different
Guess who he learned that from?

Now I'm gone, but you're still layin'
Next to me, one degree of separation

I heard you're back together and if that's true
You'll just have to taste me when he's kissing you
If you want forever, and I bet you do (I bet you do)
Just know you'll taste me too

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

Every time you close your eyes and feel his lips, you're feelin' mine
And every time you breathe his air, just know I was already there
You can have him if you like, I've been there, done that once or twice
And singin' 'bout it don't mean I care, yeah, I know I've been known to share

Well, I heard you're back together and if that's true
You'll just have to taste me when he's kissing you
If you want forever, and I bet you do (I bet you do)
Just know you'll taste me too
Taste me too

La-la-la-la-la-la-la
You'll just have to taste me when he's kissing you, no
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la) Yeah, ah-ah
You'll just have to taste me when he's kissing you

I know I have good judgment, I know I have good taste
It's funny and it's ironic that only I feel that way
I promise 'em that you're different and everyone makes mistakes
But just don't
I heard that you're an actor, so act like a stand-up guy
Whatever devil's inside you, don't let him out tonight
I tell them it's just your culture and everyone rolls their eyes
Yeah, I know
All I'm asking, baby

Please, please, please
Don't prove I'm right
And please, please, please
Don't bring me to tears when I just did my makeup so nice
Heartbreak is one thing, my ego's another
I beg you, don't embarrass me, motherfucker, oh
Please, please, please (Ah)

Well, I have a fun idea, babe (Uh-huh), maybe just stay inside
I know you're cravin' some fresh air, but the ceiling fan is so nice (It's so nice, right?)
And we could live so happily if no one knows that you're with me
I'm just kidding, but really (Kinda), really, really

Please, please, please (Please don't prove I'm right)
Don't prove I'm right
And please, please, please
Don't bring me to tears when I just did my makeup so nice
Heartbreak is one thing (Heartbreak is one thing), my ego's another (Ego's another)
I beg you, don't embarrass me, motherfucker, oh
Please, please, please (Ah)

If you wanna go and be stupid
Don't do it in front of me
If you don't wanna cry to my music
Don't make me hate you prolifically
Please, please, please (Please)
Please, please, please (Please)
Please (Please), please (Please), please
(Ah)
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la) Yeah, ah-ah
You'll just have to taste me when he's kissing you

I won't give a fuck about you

When I love you, I'm sweet like an angel
Drawin' hearts 'round our names and dreamin' of writing vows
Rockin' cradles
Don't mistake my nice for naive
But don't waste a second, I know lots of guys
You do somethin' suspect as cute as bye-bye

Like ooh, baby, you say you really like it being mine
So let me give you some advice

Boy, it's not that complicated
You should stay in my good graces
I'll switch it up like that
So fast 'cause no one's more amazin'
At turnin' love into hatred

Yeah

I'll tell the world you finish your chores prematurely
Break my heart and I'll swear I'm movin' on
With your favorite athlete
Shoot a shot every night

Want you every second, don't need other guys
You do somethin' suss, kiss my cute ass bye-ye-ye

Boy, it's not that complicated
You should stay in my good graces
I'll switch it up like that
So fast 'cause no one's more amazin' (Amazin')

I know you're not the sharpest tool in the shed
We had sex, I'm at your best friend's
Then a bird flies by and you forget
I don't hear a word
'Til your guilt creeps in
On a Tuesday, send a soft "Hey"
As if you really don't wanna call a time

We were goin' right, then you took a left
Left me with a lot of shit to second-guess
Guess I'll waste another year, I'm wonderin' if
If that was casual, then I'm an idiot
I'm lookin' for an answer in between the lines
Lyin' to yourself if you think we're fine
You're confused and I'm upset

But we never talk about it
We never talk about it
We never talk about it
We never talk about it

All the silence just makes it worse, really
'Cause it leaves you so top of mind for me
All the silence is just your strategy
'Cause it leaves you so top of mind for me

We never talk about how you
Found God at your ex's house
Always made sure that the phone was face-down
Seems like overnight, I'm just a bitch you hate now
We never talk it through
How you guilt-tripped me to open up to you
Then you logged out, leave me dumbfounded, oh-oh

We were goin' right, then you took a left
Left me with a lot of shit to second-guess
Guess I'll waste another year, I'm wonderin' if
If that was casual, then I'm an idiot
I'm lookin' for an answer in between the lines
Lyin' to yourself if you think we're fine
You're confused and I'm upset

But we never talk about it (Talk about it)
We never talk about it (Talk about it)
We never talk about it (Talk, talk, talk)
We never talk about it (Talk about it)
(Talk about it, talk about it)
(Talk about it, talk about it)

We never talk about how you
Found God at your ex's house
Always made sure that the phone was face-down
Seems like overnight, I'm just a bitch you hate now
We never talk it through
How you guilt-tripped me to open up to you
Then you logged out, leave me dumbfounded, oh-oh

We never talk about it
We never talk about it

The second I put my head on your chest
She knew she's got a real sixth sense
Now her name comes up once, then it comes up twice
And without her even being here, she's back in your life
Now she's in the same damn city on the same damn night

And you've lost all your common sense
What a coincidence

Last week, you didn't have any doubts
This week, you're holding space for her tongue in your mouth

Now she's sending you some pictures, wearing less and less
Tryna turn the past into the present tense, huh
Suckin' up to all of your mutual friends

And you've lost all your common sense
The way you told me the truth
Minus seven percent
What a coincidence
Uh

What a surprise
Your phone just died
Your car drove itself from L.A. to her thighs
Palm Springs looks nice, but who's by your side?
Damn it, she looks kinda like
The girl you outgrew
At least that's what you said
What a coincidence

Oh, wow, you just broke up again
What a coincidence
Coincidence
Coincidence

I was in a sheer dress the day that we met
We were both in a rush, we talked for a sec
Your friend hit me up so we could connect
And what are the odds? You send me a text
And now the next thing I know, I'm like
Manifest that you're oversized
I digress, got me scrollin' like
Out of breath, got me going like, ooh

Who's the cute boy with the white jacket and the thick accent? Like (Ooh)
Maybe it's all in my head

But I bet we'd have really good bed chem

How you pick me up, pull 'em down, turn me 'round, oh, it just makes sense
How you talk so sweet when you're doing bad things, that's bed chem
How you're looking at me, yeah, I know what that means, and I'm obsessed
Are you free next week? I'd bet we'd have really good

Come right on me, I mean camaraderie
Said you're not in my time zone, but you wanna be
Where art thou? Why not uponeth me?
See it in my mind, let's fulfill the prophecy (Ooh)

Who's the cute guy with the wide, blue eyes and the big, bad mmm? Like (Ooh)
I know I sound a bit redundant

But I bet we'd have really good bed chem

How you pick me up, pull 'em down, turn me 'round, oh, it just makes sense (Makes sense)
How you talk so sweet when you're doing bad things, that's bed chem (That's bed chem)
How you're looking at me, yeah, I know what that means, and I'm obsessed (So obsessed)
Are you free next week? I'd bet we'd have really good bed chem

And I bet we'd both arrive at the same time (Bed chem)
And I bet the thermostat's set at six-nine (Bed, bed chem, chem)
And I bet it's even better than in my head

How you pick me up, pull 'em down, turn me 'round, oh, it just makes sense (Oh, it just makes sense)
How you talk so sweet when you're doing bad things, that's bed chem (That's bed chem)
How you're looking at me, yeah, I know what that means, and I'm obsessed (So obsessed)
Are you free next week? I'd bet we'd have really good

08. Dumb & Poetic

You're so dumb and poetic
It's just what I fall for, I like the aesthetic
Every self-help book, you've already read it
Cherry-pick lines like they're words you invented
Gold star for hi-brow manipulation
And, "Love everyone," is your favorite quotation
Try to come off like you're soft and well-spoken
Jack off to lyrics by Leonard Cohen

Don't think you understand
Just 'cause you talk like one doesn't make you a man

You're so sad there's no communication
But, baby, you put us in this situation
You're running so fast from the hearts that you're breakin'
Save all your breath for your floor meditation
You're so empathetic, you'd make a great wife
And I promise the mushrooms aren't changing your life
Well, you crashed the car and abandoned the wreckage
Fuck with my head like it's some kind of fetish

Don't think you understand
Just 'cause you act like one doesn't make you a man

Don't think you understand
Just 'cause you leave like one
Doesn't make you a man

Guess I'll end this life alone
I am not dramatic, these are just the thoughts that pass right through me
All the douchebags in my phone
Play 'em like a slot machine, if they're winning, I'm just losing

A boy who's jacked and kind
Can't find his ass to save my life

Oh, it's slim pickins
If I can't have the one I love, I guess it's you that I'll be kissin'
Just to get my fixins
Since the good ones are deceased or taken
I'll just keep on moanin' and bitchin'

Jesus, what's a girl to do?
This boy doesn't even know the difference between "there", "their", and "they are"
Yet, he's naked in my room
Missin' all the things he's missin', God knows that he isn't livin' large

A boy who's nice, that breathes
I swear, he's nowhere to be seen

It's slim pickins
If I can't have the one I love, I guess it's you that I'll be kissin'
Just to get my fixins
Since the good ones are deceased or taken
I'll just keep on moanin' and bitchin'
Moanin' and bitchin'

Since the good ones call their exes wasted
And since the Lord forgot my gay awakening
Then I'll just be here in the kitchen
Servin' up some moanin' and bitchin'

You make me wanna make you fall in love
Oh, late at night, I'm thinking 'bout you
Ah, ah, ah
Wanna try out my fuzzy pink handcuffs?
Oh, I hear you knockin', baby
Come on up

I know you want my touch for life
If you love me right, then who knows?
I might let you make me Juno
You know I just
Might let you lock me down tonight
One of me is cute, but two, though?
Give it to me, baby
You make me wanna make you fall in love

I showed my friends, then we high-fived
Sorry if you feel objectified
Can't help myself, hormones are high
Give me more than just some butterflies

You make me wanna make you fall in love
Oh, late at night, I'm thinking 'bout you
Ah, ah, ah
Wanna try out some freaky positions?

Have you ever tried this one?

I know you want my touch for life
If you love me right, then who knows?
I might let you make me Juno
You know I just
Might let you lock me down tonight
One of me is cute, but two, though?
Give it to me, baby
You make me wanna make you fall in love

Adore me
Hold me and explore me
Mark your territory
Tell me I'm the only, only, only, only one

Adore me
Hold me and explore me

Tell me I'm the only, only, only, only one

I know you want my touch for life
If you love me right, then who knows?

You know I just
Might let you lock me down tonight
One of me is cute, but two, though?
Give it to me, baby
You make me wanna make you fall in love

Don't swear on your mom
That it's the first drink that you've had in, like, a month
No, don't say it was just an isolated incident that happened once
There's no need to pretend
I've never seen an ugly truth that I can't bend
It's something that looks better, I'm stupid, but I'm clever
Yeah, I can make a shit show look a whole lot like forever and ever

You don't have to lie to girls
If they like you, they'll just lie to themselves
Like you, they'll just lie to themselves
You don't have to lie to girls
If they like you, they'll just lie to themselves
Don't I know it better than anyone else?

All your best excuses, no, they don't stand a chance
Against all the chances I give you
Isn't ideal, but damn
You don't even have to try, turn you into a good guy
You don't have to lift a finger
It's lucky for you I'm just like
My mother (And my sister)
All my (All my friends)
The girl out— (—Side the strip club)
Getting her tarot cards read
We love to read the cold, hard facts
And swear they're incorrect
We love to mistake butterflies for cardiac arrest

You don't have to lie to girls
If they like you, they'll just lie to themselves
Like you, they'll just lie to themselves
You don't have to lie to girls (Don't have)
If they like you, they'll just lie to themselves
Don't I know it better than anyone else?

Girls will cry, and girls will lie
And girls will do it 'til they die
And for you, they'll cry
And girls will lie
And do it 'til the day they die (For you)
Girls will cry, and girls will lie (Ooh, ooh)
And girls will lose their goddamn minds (Ooh, oh)
For you, they'll cry
And girls will lie
And do it 'til the day they die
For you

Don't smile because it happened, baby, cry because it's over
Oh, you're supposed to think about me every time you hold her

My heart is heavy now, it's like a hundred pounds
It's falling faster than the way you love to shut me down
I think I need a shower, my friends are taking shots
You think it's happy hour, for me it's not

Don't smile because it happened, baby, cry because it's over
Oh, you're supposed to think about me every time you hold her
Don't smile because it happened, baby, cry because it's over
I want you to miss me, I want you to miss me
Oh, you're supposed to think about me every time you hold her
I want you to miss me, I want you to miss me

Pour my feelings in the microphone
I stay in, and when the girls come home
I want one of them to take my phone
Take my phone and lose your
Number, I don't wanna be tempted
Pick up when you wanna fall back in
You can fake it, but you know I know
Know I know

Don't smile because it happened, baby, cry because it's over
Oh, you're supposed to think about me every time you hold her
Don't smile because it happened, baby, cry because it's over
I want you to miss me, I want you to miss me
Oh, you're supposed to think about me every time you hold her
I want you to miss me, I want you to miss me

RATING

이미 플리스 플리스 플리스와 에스프레소가 대히트를 친 상황이라

더 많은 기대를 품었던 앨범이였는데요.

 

타이틀만큼 중독성이 있는 노래는 없지만

타이틀을 제외하고도 좋은 노래가 많습니다.

드라이브 하면서 잔잔하게 듣거나 아침에 커피 마시면서 틀어놓으면 좋을 것 같습니다.

 

70년대의 감성을 그대로 따온 노래들이 많은 것 같아요.

sharpest tool 같은 경우 기타 리프를 통해서 분위기를 꾸미다가

하이라이트를 몽환적으로 가져가는데 이게 그렇게 잘 어울리네요.

 

단점을 꼽으라면 꼽을 수야 있겠지만 뭐 큰 부분은 아니라고 생각합니다.

앨범에 구성된 음악의 무드가 다 비슷하긴 하지만..

사브리아 카펜터를 더 잘 나타내기 위해서 그랬을 수 있기에 이해가 갑니다.

그리고 가장 잘할 수 있는 장르이자 분위기겠죠.

억지로 어울리지도 않는 음악을 실험한다고 앨범에 넣을 필요는 없는 것 같아요.

 

그래도 다음엔 좀 더 밴드를 사용한 사운드를 사용한 노래를 해봤으면 좋겠네요.

컨트리풍이 아닌 정말 모던락 느낌으로 말이죠.

단지 바람일 뿐이지만 기대되네요.

 

아 제가 뮤비는 잘 안보는 편인데 어제 처음으로

Taste 뮤비가 공개되었길래 봤습니다.

굉장히 잔인하네요 진짜 깜짝 놀랐습니다 허허..

 

평점 : 4.6 / 5.0
