Sabrina Carpenter’s latest single, "Taste," has been a real treat, both lyrically and visually, with fans like me diving deep into its layers. The song brings a fresh take on post-relationship dynamics, and I have to say, it resonates with a part of me that wonders what it’s like for the next person who steps into my shoes. While I’m not the type to hold onto such feelings, it’s fun to imagine—almost like living vicariously through those "salty predecessors" who love knowing a piece of them remains in their ex’s life. It’s a sentiment that’s both cheeky and empowering, delivered with Sabrina’s usual charm.
The music video, however, is where this single truly shines. As a lover of horror movies, "Taste" is nothing short of an eye-candy masterpiece. The way Sabrina weaves horror classics into the storytelling of the video is a bold move, and honestly, it’s something the industry should embrace more. Big production music videos with a gripping narrative elevate the experience of a song tenfold. Sabrina nailed it here, especially with the appearance of Jenna Ortega, a familiar face in modern horror. It feels like a win for horror lovers and music fans alike, merging two worlds in a way that feels effortless and iconic.
Compared to her previous work, "Taste" doesn’t stray too far from the musical style we know and love from Sabrina. But that’s what makes her recent releases so exciting. She’s honing her craft, staying true to her sound while subtly pushing boundaries—especially with the visual edge that’s becoming a hallmark of her work. The underlying violence in many of her videos suggests she might be a horror fan herself, which would explain the darker, cinematic tones that enhance her music. It’s a direction I fully support, and I can’t wait to see where she takes us next.
"Taste" is a perfect blend of relatable emotions and stunning visuals, making it a standout in Sabrina Carpenter’s evolving discography. It’s not just a song; it’s an experience. And if you’re a fan of horror and drama like I am, it’s one you won’t want to miss!
