    Sabrina Carpenter Looks Forward to Evolving as Artist After Signed to Island Records

    Instagram

    Darcus Brees, the president and CEO of the recording company, describes the ‘Skin’ hitmaker as ‘a star’ and ‘a talented young woman’ with powerful vocals and infectious personality.

    Jan 27, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Actress and singer Sabrina Carpenter has landed a major new deal with Island Records.
    The 21-year-old confirmed the exciting news in a statement released on Tuesday (January 26) as her new single “Skin” becomes a huge radio hit in the U.S.
    Sabrina says, “Darcus (Brees, president and CEO of Island Records) and the team really understood my vision from the moment we first met. They just got me and have been super supportive.”

    Brees adds, “Sabrina Carpenter is a star. Her powerful vocals, infectious personality, and successful career as a singer, songwriter and actress attest to that. We are thrilled to welcome such a talented young woman to the Island Records family.”

    Carpenter has also been making headlines for the curious lyrics in “Skin”, which fans are convinced is a response to Olivia Rodrigo’s Billboard Hot 100 number one “Drivers License”.
    In the 17-year-old’s breakup anthem, she sings, “And you’re probably with the blonde girl/Who always made me doubt/She’s so much older than me/She’s everything I’m insecure about,” which fans believe is about Rodrigo’s “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series” co-star and alleged former boyfriend Joshua Bassett’s new love, Carpenter.
    Carpenter addressed the speculation over the weekend, writing, “i wasn’t bothered by a few lines in a (magnificent) song and wrote a diss track about it… Skin isn’t calling out one single person. some lines address plenty of other experiences I’ve had this past year.”

    Sabrina Carpenter Insists She's Not Dissing Olivia Rodrigo in New Song 'Skin'

    WENN

    The former ‘Girl Meets World’ star sets the record straight on the rumors suggesting she takes aim at boyfriend Joshua Bassett’s ex with her new song ‘Skin’.

    Jan 26, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Sabrina Carpenter has insisted her new song “Skin” wasn’t meant as a “diss track” aimed at Olivia Rodrigo.
    The former Disney star took to Instagram to respond to fans’ speculation that the tune is a response to Olivia’s “Driver’s License”, which she penned about Sabrina and her current boyfriend Joshua Bassett.
    In the song, Olivia – who previously dated Joshua, with whom she stars in “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series” – croons, “And you’re probably with that blonde girl, who always made me doubt.”
    So when Sabrina dropped “Skin”, fans were quick to comment on the lines they took as retaliation, including, “Maybe then we could pretend / There’s no gravity in the words we write / Maybe you didn’t mean it / Maybe ‘blonde’ was the only rhyme.”

    However, taking to her Instagram page, Sabrina hit back at the rumours, insisting she hadn’t intended to write a diss track about anyone in particular.
    “I wasn’t bothered by a few lines in a (magnificent) song and wrote a diss track about it,” she sighed. “I was at a tipping point in my life for countless reasons. so i was inspired to do what i usually do to cope, write something that i wish i could have told myself in the past.”
    “People can only get to you if you give them the power to. and a lot of people were trying to get to me. The song isn’t calling out one single person. some lines address a specific situation, while other lines address plenty of other experiences I’ve had this past year.. it also shows that many things have actually gotten under my skin.. and I’m still learning to not give other people so much power over my feelings. I know a lot of you struggle with the same thing.”
    She concluded, “I don’t want this to become an endless cycle so please don’t take this as an opportunity to send more hate anyone’s way. Lots of love to u all. thanks for letting me grow (sic).”
    Sabrina’s remarks come after Olivia also addressed the speculation about “Driver’s License”, saying, “I totally understand people’s curiosity with the specifics of who the song’s about and what it’s about, but to me, that’s really the least important part of the song. It’s resonating with people because of how emotional it is, and I think everything else is not important.”
