Sabrina Carpenter praises Emails I Can't Send as 'gateway' to career highs
Manchild singer Sabrina Carpenter has reflected on the impact Emails I Can't Send had on her career.
Sabrina Carpenter says Emails I Can't Send was a "gateway to many special moments".
The 26-year-old singer released her fifth studio album - which included singles Skinny Dipping, Fast Times, Vicious, Because I Liked A Boy and Nonsense - on July 15, 2022 and she has reflected on the impact of the record three years since it dropped.
She wrote on her Instagram Story: "3 years of my dear emails.
“This album means so much to me and was the gateway to many special moments I couldn’t see ahead.
“I will never take this chapter for granted and what it taught me and how much closer it brought me to each and every one of you.
“Thanks to those of you who sing along. I love you forever!”
When Emails I Can't Send was released, it gave Sabrina what was then her highest ever Billboard 200 chart position at number 23.
At the time, she wrote on Instagram: “I kind of had to unlearn myself and learn myself again in order to make this album.
"It’s the one i’m most proud of thus far in my life.
"It’s the one I hope you listen to and feel like we were hanging and confiding in each other for an hour.”
She toured the album, which included opening for Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour, and then followed up with 2024 album Short n' Sweet, which featured hit singles like Espresso, Please Please Please, Bed Chem and Juno.
The record topped the charts, and earned the pop star her first ever Grammy Awards.
She's set to release her seventh studio LP, Man's Best Friend, next month.
Sabrina shocked fans with the artwork, which shows her on all fours in front of a man pulling her hair.
The album will include the lead single, Manchild, which upon its release, Sabrina thanked "men for testing me".
She added on Instagram: "i wrote manchild on a random tuesday with amy and jack not too long after finishing short n’ sweet and it ended up being the best random tuesday of my life
"not only was it so fun to write, but this song became to me something I can look back on that will score the mental montage to the very confusing and fun young adult years of life.
"it sounds like the song embodiment of a loving eye roll and it feels like a never ending road trip in the summer !
"hence why i wanted to give it to you now- so you can stick your head out the car window and scream it all summer long! (sic)"
