US pop star Sabrina Carpenter has announced she will be releasing a new album called Man’s Best Friend later in the summer.

It comes after the 26-year-old singer from Pennsylvania released a new single titled Manchild last week.

The record is to be released a year and a week after she dropped her chart-topping sixth studio album Short N’ Sweet, which contains the number one hits Espresso, Taste and Please, Please, Please.

In a message to fans, she said: “My new album Man’s Best Friend releases Aug 29 I didn’t plan on releasing a new record however when inspiration strikes, I go to the studio, and when it doesn’t, I still go to the studio.

“But luckily life was really happening to me and inspiration struck!

“I tried not to overthink the process this time, I felt so at ease making Man’s Best Friend that I felt like it was a gift that shouldn’t be taken for granted as every inch came together so effortlessly, different from my other previous projects where I’d bang my head to crack numerous codes.

“This one felt like riding a bike! I went back to some of my favourite artists growing up listening to a lot of Stevie, Dolly, Donna etc and was surprised to find so many of those artists I loved put out a new record every year for a long time.

“Can’t say that is or will be the norm for me but this time it really eased my mind about putting something out when it feels right!”

Her music videos have seen appearances from a number of famous faces including Dublin actor Barry Keoghan in Please, Please, Please.

The Saltburn actor was romantically linked to Carpenter in late 2023, but they were reported to have split late last year.

Carpenter is due to headline Hyde Park’s British Summer Time festival (BST) this July where she will be joined by special guests including Clairo and Olivia Dean across two performances.

Man’s Best Friend will be released on August 29.
