Sabrina Carpenter announces new album Man's Best Friend

Sabrina Carpenter has unveiled details of her upcoming studio album Man's Best Friend, which is set to hit shelves and streaming platforms on August 29.

The album—Carpenter's seventh LP and the follow-up to the massive hit Short N' Sweet—has already been hinted at following the lead single 'Manchild', which dropped last week.

In a message to fans, the singer said: “My new album Man’s Best Friend releases Aug 29. I didn’t plan on releasing a new record however when inspiration strikes, I go to the studio, and when it doesn’t, I still go to the studio. But luckily life was really happening to me and inspiration struck!"

"I tried not to overthink the process this time," she continues, "I felt so at ease making Man’s Best Friend that I felt like it was a gift that shouldn’t be taken for granted as every inch came together so effortlessly, different from my other previous projects where I’d bang my head to crack numerous codes.

“This one felt like riding a bike! I went back to some of my favourite artists growing up listening to a lot of Stevie, Dolly, Donna etc and was surprised to find so many of those artists I loved put out a new record every year for a long time.

“Can’t say that is or will be the norm for me but this time it really eased my mind about putting something out when it feels right!”

Carpenter is due to headline Hyde Park’s British Summer Time festival (BST) this July where she will be joined by special guests including Clairo and Olivia Dean across two performances.
