Earlier this month, Carpenter released her second single from the forthcoming album, “Please Please Please,” listen here and watch the music video here. Carpenter enlisted GRAMMY-Award-winning Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen as collaborators for the single. “Please Please Please” hit No. 1 on Spotify’s Global and U.S. charts, No. 1 on Apple Music and this week, it debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Carpenter debuted the song live at Governors Ball in New York earlier this month. Featured on several “Best of” lists after the festival, including Billboard and Rolling Stone, the former of which also declared “there’s an innate confidence in Carpenter’s presence onstage, an effortless ease that emerges as she exchanges winks and quips with the audience, then locks right back into performance mode an instant later.” Carpenter will also be headlining Outside Lands Music Festival on Saturday, Aug. 10. This will be her first time performing at the San Francisco festival.
The album’s lead single, “Espresso,” was released in April and instantly became a smash hit. The Platinum-certified single became Carpenter’s fourth hit on the Billboard Hot 100, where it’s currently No. 3 this week, and her first Top 5 on the chart where she now has two of the top three songs this week. It captured the No. 1 spot on the Spotify Global, U.S., and U.K. charts and hit No. 1 on the U.K. Singles Chart. It also reached No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart. Of the single, Uproxx stated “Carpenter has a knack for coming up with pop hits, and “Espresso” has shown to be one of her biggest so far,” while The New York Times heralded the single as the song ready to “propel her to the next level.” The sentiment has been proven true and the bonafide star blew fans away with her debut Coachella performance shortly following the release of “Espresso.” Los Angeles Times cited her among “The 15 Best Things We Saw at Coachella 2024,” going on to profess, “Carpenter already had put more effort into her set than some past Coachella headliners.”
