That is that her new collection: read Bulletin’s primer positioning and audit of the pop star’s new venture.
For a year that has highlighted a marvelous number of significant collection discharges, from Taylor Quick to Beyoncé to Billie Eilish to Ariana Grande, popular music in 2024 has, shockingly enough, been all the more obviously characterized by more modest specialists ascending to meet their particular minutes. We’ve seen it work out with Charli xcx throughout Rascal Summer, Chappell Roan as her crowds have expanded to watch her hold onto celebration stages, and Tinashe while “match my oddity” has become familiar speech.
Furthermore, presently, after Sabrina Woodworker joined pop’s Elite because of the consecutive blasts of “Coffee” and “Kindly Please,” new collection Short n’ Sweet is a second that is impeccably coordinated, exceptionally expected, and endowed with elevated assumptions.
A lot of signs existed that Woodworker, a Disney Station veteran who delivered four studio collections on Disney-claimed Hollywood Records, was an extraordinary ability preceding “Coffee” turning into her most memorable top 10 hit in April.

In the mean time, the bubblegum riffs on Messages have extended into investigations of nation, rock, people and R&B in manners that address an innate interest yet never stray excessively far away from what Woodworker excels at.
She has more radio-prepared darts to toss, with the stunning “Taste” giving off an impression of being next up — however the finger-picked misfortune of “Pitiful scraps” and the musical skip of “Good Graces” drive Craftsman into striking a new area, and make for a more extensive full-length. Working with studio vets like Jack Antonoff, Amy Allen, Julia Michaels and Julian Bunetta, Craftsman has collected a group of comrades that know how to explore a new shade and boost a refrain — and at 12 melodies, Short n’ Sweet breezes by, a perfectly tuned symphony without a lopsided track in the bundle.
We will perceive the way a lot more hits Craftsman scores off of Short n’ Sweet, after previously gathering two off of its track list. Notwithstanding which tunes become a web sensation or move over to radio, however, the vocalist has disclosed one of the most achieved pop collections of the year, following through with long stretches of potential with a conclusive assertion. Consider the second met.
We’re actually diving into the Short n’ Sweet track list, however here is a breakdown and starter positioning of every one of the 12 melodies on Sabrina Woodworker’s most recent:
