Coolest Pop Song of the Week: Sabrina Carpenter, “Espresso”

We are now multiple years into Sabrina Carpenter’s ascent to pop’s A-list: beginning with her promising singles in 2021 and continuing with her excellent 2022 full-length Emails I Can’t Send, the former Disney Channel star reinvented her kid-friendly sound, leaned into wink-heavy hook writing and showcased her charisma while expanding her listenership. The commercial wins have kept accumulating: “Nonsense” went viral and became her highest-charting Hot 100 hit (No. 56 peak) last year, then “Feather” lapped it this year (No. 26 peak) while becoming Carpenter’s first No. 1 at Pop Airplay. All the while, Carpenter was playing to stadium audiences while opening for Taylor Swift’s Eras tour, and lining up a high-profile slot at Coachella.

New single “Espresso” was released last week to coincide with that festival performance, and is off to a hot start, creeping into the top 5 of Spotify’s U.S. Top 50 chart on Monday. The song could very well take Carpenter even higher on the Hot 100 and into a new tier of music stardom — which is great, because “Espresso” might be her most immediate, buoyant single to date.

The hallmarks of New-School Sabrina are present: the sunny synth-pop production (with a funk riff here to keep things fresh), the radio-friendly chorus, the tongue-in-cheek lyrics that personalize the entire affair (“My ‘give a f–ks’ are on vacation,” Carpenter shrugs). The difference between “Espresso” and her past singles resides in the coziness of Carpenter’s delivery: the way she sinks into each syllable — “And I got this one boyyyy, and he won’t stop callinnnnn’ / When they act this waaaay, I know I got ‘em” — communicates an easy command that complements both the songwriting and Carpenter’s breathy tone. “Espresso” has a lot going for it, but Carpenter provides its identity, and has seemingly placed her fingerprints on another hit.
