I posted on my Instagram story that I needed a Dolly Parton cover of the new Sabrina Carpenter single like now. I’m currently listening to the audio series Dolly Parton’s America, so she’s very top of mind, but this song is also a very obvious reference to her sound and ethos, especially in turning points in her career like “Mule Skinner Blues” in which she started really showing her personality in her music. I think the key changes, the claps, the country groove in “Please Please Please” are genius. I’ve said about Sabrina Carpenter before that her strength as a pop artist is her versatility; she will try just about any genre on a record and can do them all well.
