Singer Sabrina Carpenter, 26, confessed to being “surprised” with criticism of the cover of her new album, “Man’s Best Friend”.
It was released last month and brings in art an image in which she appears on her knees on the floor, in front of a man who pulls her hair. The young star said she did not imagine that she would offend so many people with the provocative record.
“I was surprised. I think mainly because, when I thought of creating this cover, I was very inspired by the idea of a man playing gently with my hair. Because I think there were many metaphors between this dog and I emotionally. You know, ‘the best friend of man’ and all the implications it brings, the power in dominance and submission. Sound of the material, “she said in an interview with NPR radio.
He had already stated that the album – which brings bold lyrics – “is not for the most conservative,” but he expected most people to have fun with the songs.
“The album is not for the most conservative. No, but I also think that even the most traditional can hear such a album, in their own loneliness, and find something that makes them smile alone,” said the Grammy winner in participation in the CBS Mornings show.
The singer acknowledged that her lyrics can be a bit sassy, but explained that the intention is only to convey lightness.
“Sometimes people hear very bold lyrics and think, ‘I don’t want to sing it in front of other people.’ It’s like a lot of exposure. But I think of being in a show, seeing so many young women in the front row shouting at full lungs with their best friends. And you can see, ‘Ah, we can all sigh with relief and think: That’s just fun.’
