Development

Background

In June 2019, while promoting her fourth studio album Singular: Act II , Carpenter revealed to Marie Claire magazine that she had begun work on a fifth studio album. [1] In 2020, she released the stand-alone single "Honeymoon Fades" and lent her vocals for the Clouds soundtrack. [5] [6] [7]

In January 2021, after four albums with Hollywood Records, it was reported that Carpenter had signed to Island Records. [8] She noted that it was "the perfect place for [her] to start the next chapter of [her] music career and evolution as an artist". [8] Her first release came at the end of the month with "Skin" which debuted at number 48 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her first entry on the chart. [9]

In September that year, Carpenter reported to Teen Vogue that many of the album's songs were written from emails she wrote to herself, such as a song she had previously shared on August 7 with the description as "Intro", later revealed as the title track of the album. [10] She also revealed that she finished the album's recording in New York City with Julia Michaels, JP Saxe, John Ryan and Leroy Clampitt, after she moved to Manhattan's Financial District in June of that year. [10]

Release

Carpenter appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon where she confirmed that the album would be dropped in 2022 and that the title was hidden in work released the year before. [11] The album's name clue was in the music video for "Skinny Dipping" in a shot where the name appears in a Scrabble game. [12]

The album was released on July 15, 2022. [10] [13] On March 17, 2023, Carpenter released a deluxe edition of the album. [14]

Composition

Genres and themes

Emails I Can't Send is primarily a pop album with elements of folk-pop, [2] dance-pop, [3] and storytelling. [15] The album also uses piano ballads and light-guitar instrumentals to showcase a sound where Carpenter benefited from less instrumentation. [2] Some critics found the album was reminiscent to Carpenter's previous albums but "with fresher feelings and a closeness to the audience that did not feel as airy-fairy as before". [16] The Strand Magazine writer Siraaj Khan agreed that the album differed from Carpenter's previous work which fell more into the contemporary R&B genre. [2] Variety writer Julia MacCary also found that the album marked a departure from Carpenter's "previous four pop-heavy albums, experimenting with new genres, slower songs and using personal emails for lyrics". [17] On the album, Carpenter noted:

For me, [it] was really a time capsule of a special time in my life when I dealt with many things for the first time. I feel like I came out of that with a much greater perspective, and all these songs are based on real nights or experiences and reflecting and foreshadowing. [18]

The album was described as a "break-up album" and an "unapologetic collection of her inner thoughts, with a sense of heartache over unrequited love present throughout". [2] Julianna Rezza of The Mud Mag called the album a "compilation of delicately told stories and new sounds". [15]

Music and lyrics

The album begins with the title track intro which was inspired by a strained family relationship. [19] The song deals with "trust, disappointment and infidelity". [19] The end of the intro references the 1975 musical Chicago and smoothly transitions into "Vicious" which has a guitar-driven beat and ends in a "rock-esque vibe". [3] "Read Your Mind" was described as a dance-pop "jump-up-and-down and dance-through-the-house" song in which Carpenter sings about the lack of communication between her and a partner. [3] This is followed by "Tornado Warnings" which was described as a poem where Carpenter chooses to ignore her significant other's red flags. [20] Young Hollywood writer Skylar Zachian noted that "the lyrics reveal a perfect balance of literal and metaphorical storytelling to really get us thinking about the intricacies of relationships and decision-making". [3]

"Because I Liked a Boy" is about Carpenter's efforts to navigate public scrutiny. [20] "Introspective, ironic, and quick-witted lyrics" are used throughout the song. [21] Carpenter called the song "therapeutic" noting that the "song came from a really real place in [her] life". [22] This is followed by "Already Over" and "How Many Things" which marked the end of the record's first half. [20] The former was compared to Dolly Parton and Kacey Musgraves's work, with Carpenter singing about "the fragility of a relationship that should have ended long ago". [20] The opening line of "How Many Things": "You used a fork once / It turns out forks are fucking everywhere" sparked a Twitter meme among Carpenter's fans. [23]

"Bet U Wanna" has a "subdued but tense arrangement that complements its hushed vocals" and received comparisons to Carpenter's Singular era. [16] [24] With "dreamy instrumentals and sultry vocals", the song was named a stand-out on the album. [3] This is followed by "Nonsense" who some felt it was Ariana Grande-inspired and "captures the feeling of liking someone so much that you completely lose your cool". [3] The song uses "sexual innuendos, catchy soundscapes, and raspy-to-silky smooth vocals that attest to the [Carpenter's] extreme versatility". [20] "Fast Times" is a soft rock and "slinky bossa nova track" about being "impulsive and embracing the 'fast times and fast nights' of youth". [25] [3] [24] "Skinny Dipping" takes a "detour from the radio-friendly songwriting" and uses spoken words in its verses, with "resembles an awkward encounter with an ex-partner, which further adds to the project's conceptual undertone". [24] Carpenter's vocals were described as "ethereal" and used "jazzy instrumentals to add to the song's innocent, carefree feel". [3]

"Bad for Business" was described as "happy, romantic, and wistful" and embodies one of the most dangerous aspects of love: fixation. [24] The album ends with "Decode" which was described as a "sombre but hopeful conclusion" to the album where "Carpenter shines as a songwriter". [24] The song's heartwarming ambience is "produced by string instruments" and is about "overanalysing a relationship to the point where it's more detrimental than helpful". [3]

The deluxe version of the album opens with "Opposite", which sees Carpenter looking back on a relationship, "wondering if she was never her ex's ideal type in the first place". [18] This is followed by the upbeat "Feather", which was described as a break-up anthem. [26] "Lonesome" is a Western-vibed song and was called "somber" and had "a kind of raw and stripped tune". [18] The deluxe version ends with "Things I Wish You Said" which ends on a "reflective and nostalgic note". [27]

The album generally received favourable reviews by the music critics, Capital writer Savannah Roberts noted that the "songstress showed her impressive range on the record, including everything from ballads to insanely catchy empowerment anthems" and called it her most personal album, adding that it "gave fans an intimate look into Sabrina's life". [19] Liam Hess of Vogue stated that the album is "the most fully realized vision of Carpenter the musician—and the most rounded portrait of Carpenter the human being—yet." [53] The Edge writer Rhianna Saglani praised JP Saxe and Carpenter's collaborations and went on to call the album a "a piece of art in itself". [16] The Central Trend writer Ella Peirce called the album remarkable and noted that "each song is its own while still letting the record flow wonderfully together as a whole". [54]

Agnius Kazlauskas of The Indiependent praised the album calling it "a story of Carpenter's perseverance and a much-needed step towards reclaiming her narrative". [20] She added that the album "takes on the role of reintroducing the singer to the world" and called it an "emotional roller-coaster" which "[explores] the inner corners of Carpenter's mind". [20] Village Pipol writer Indi Jimenez praised the album, calling it a "new perspective on the age-old question of how and why the way we love affects our relationships with others". [21] She noted that while the "album itself doesn't deviate from the regular pop song formula", every song "is a refreshing twist and introduces a new vibe that is distinct and recognizable from other tracks". [21] She praised Carpenter's songwriting noting that it "differentiates her from other artists in a distinct style that you can only pinpoint as Sabrina Carpenter". [21]

In a mixed review, In Review Online writer Kayla Beardslee called the album "one of the best pop surprises of the year" but criticised its production choices. [24] The Strand Magazine writer Siraaj Khan praised Carpenter's new direction for the album but felt that a few of the songs were not unique to Carpenter noting that "there is a big market for songs about teen heartbreak with the teenage girl crowd", calling it too "commercial". [2] He concluded by saying that "once you look beyond the shiny artificial parts of the album, you find the authentic Sabrina Carpenter—which is far more appealing than whatever the lead singles hope to achieve".
