Perched on a piano in a glittering black dress, her blonde Bardot-style hair exuding vintage glamour, Sabrina Carpenter made a striking appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. But one detail in her look stood out – a lipstick print stamped playfully on her upper shoulder. As many Music Man readers will now know, this was a nod to the cover of her album ‘Short n Sweet’, released the very same day. To promote its release, Sabrina was to perform her single ‘Please Please Please’.
Not only did Sabrina perform the hit single with the stage presence and charm she is now so well known for, but she gave fans the opportunity to see her in a different light. Reimagining the song in a softer, more vocal-led performance allowed listeners to see the true extent of her talent. Viewers flooded the comments of the video with praise, one commenter even sharing, “As a professional sound engineer and professional vocalist of 18 years, this is a phenomenal performance.”
Since ‘Short n Sweet’ was released nine months ago, it has been solidly in my rotation. I love the upbeat cheekiness of Sabrina’s sound, which has charmed so many others. What really struck me about her performance on The Tonight Show was how mature and glamorous her performance was. I felt as though it captured a perfect blend between her cheeky onstage persona and the maturity often exuded in her vocal delivery—everything I love about this artist captured in one performance.
