Here's everything Sabrina Carpenter has said about her new album Short N' Sweet, collabs and all the vinyl variants.

She's working late 'cause she's a singer. Sabrina Carpenter's new album 'Short n' Sweet' is on its way and it's almost here.

After years of hard work, Sabrina Carpenter has officially reached main pop girlie status. Her last album 'Emails I Can't Send' debuted to critical acclaim and it's since spawned two chart smashes: 'Nonsense' and 'Feather'. Not to mention, Sabrina's new singles 'Espresso' and 'Please Please Please' have both hit Number 1 in the UK. It's a great time to be a carpenter.

Now, Sabrina has announced her sixth studio album 'Short n' Sweet' and we're just days away from getting to hear it in full. Here's everything we know about the new project so far including the release date, tracklist, collaborators and more.

Who has Sabrina Carpenter worked with on 'Short n' Sweet'?

Sabrina co-wrote 'Espresso' with her longterm collaborators Amy Allen, Steph Jones and Julian Bunetta who've previously worked on her songs including 'Nonsense', 'Feather' and 'Vicious'. Meanwhile, 'Please Please Please' was co-written with Amy Allen and Jack Antonoff. 'Please Please Please' is Sabrina's first time working with Jack on a song.

As for other collaborators on the album, Sabrina's past co-writers Julia Michaels ('Because I Liked a Boy') and John Ryan ('Fast TImes') are also part of the project. Dua Lipa and Selena Gomez producer Ian Kirkpatrick has also joined the fold.

Are there any 'Short n' Sweet' collabs?

For her last album 'Emails I Can't Send', there were no collabs on the main tracklist and, as it stands, it appears that 'Short n' Sweet' will be a solo Sabrina Carpenter affair.

That being said, fans have spotted Sabrina and Tyla commenting on each other's posts on Instagram. On June 5, Sabrina wrote: "would love to take you to dinner" on a Tyla post. Tyla then responded: "pick me up at 4:11". A coincidence? I think not!

Based on Sabrina's close friendship with Taylor Swift following The Eras Tour, fans also think the two stars could work together.

Could there be a 'Short n' Sweet' deluxe with collabs? We'll have to wait and see.

As for the vibe of her upcoming music, Sabrina told Interview: “I feel a lot freer and more excited about what I’m making now because I’ve realised that genre isn’t necessarily the most important thing. It’s about honesty and authenticity and whatever you gravitate towards."

She continued: "There were a lot of genres in my last album, and I like to think I’ll continue that throughout writing music."
