For listeners searching for more care-free pop, here are three albums you should check out after spinning Short n’ Sweet.
It’s no “Coincidence” rising pop star Sabrina Carpenter “left quite an impression” on listeners this Summer with the release of her sophomore album Short n’ Sweet. The highly anticipated LP stirred up major conversation with its chart topping singles “Please, Please, Please” and the VMA’s Song of The Year “Espresso.” Short n’ Sweet left Carpenter in everyone’s “Good Graces” with the album’s witty lyricism, twanging guitars, bright vocals and catchy beats.
The singer-songwriter will embark on her sold out Short n’ Sweet Tour September 23. The US leg of Carpenter’s tour consists of 32 shows all over the country. While fans patiently wait for new content from Carpenter here are three equally catchy, casual and candid pop albums to enjoy in the meantime.
Snow Angel- Reneé Rapp
Broadway star turned pop princess Reneé Rapp released her debut album Snow Angel last year. The twelve track record features big vocal ballads like “I Hate Boston” and “Tummy Hurts” exhibiting Rapp’s soulful vocals. The LP also features dance-pop tracks like “Talk Too Much,” “Poison Poison” and “Pretty Girls” which are full of tongue and cheek lyrics and bouncing beats. Fans of Sabrina Carpenter will love Rapp’s heavier beats, belting vocals and comedic lyrics like “I deserve some recognition, for having good tits and a big heart” and “Yes, I am a feminist, But, bitch, you're making it so hard for me to always be supportin' all women.” Listeners are in for an album full of pop anthems alongside witty lyrics and danceable beats.

What A Devastating Turn of Events- Rachel Chinouriri
British singer-songwriter Rachel Chinouriri released her debut album What A Devastating Turn of Events May 3. Full of warm lilting vocals, groovy basslines, y2k beats and bantering spoken word outros, this record is a passionate pop album with a groovy twist. The album explores a myriad of genres whilst maintaining Chinouriri’s unique voice. Tracks like “Never Need Me” feature upbeat, dance pop stylings with hard hitting lyrics. “What A Devastating Turn of Events”utilizes soulful and warm RnB tones and songs like “The Hills” and “Cold Call” have a grittier rock sound.

Found Heaven- Conan Gray
Pop superstar Conan Gray released his 80s synth pop inspired album Found Heaven April 5. Documenting the singer’s journey to self discovery and navigating a painful breakup Found Heaven is an album that encapsulates finding yourself in times of strife and the feeling of smiling through the pain. Juxtaposing the heavy topics of the LP, Found Heaven’ssoundscape is full of dramatic, whimsical synths, pulsing 80s beats and dramatic pop vocal moments. Impassioned ballads like the title track “Found Heaven” and “Alley Rose” will have listeners in their feelings much like Sabrina Carpenter’s contemplative tracks “Sharpest Tool” and “Coincidence.” Whereas Gray’s “Bourgeoisieses” and “Killing Me” are tracks that make listeners instantly dance along, much like Carpenter’s “Juno.” For fans searching for a heavier electro-pop style while maintaining a fun atmosphere this 13 track LP should be in your rotation.
