It’s been a full year since Sabrina Carpenter’s breakout hit “Espresso” transformed her career — and the anniversary celebration is as bold and creative as the song itself.
On April 11, Carpenter unveiled a limited-edition line of vinyl records filled with espresso-colored liquid. The transparent discs, with their swirling coffee-like hues, were designed in collaboration with Blood Records — the company known for quirky collector’s items like the “white powder” Charli XCX vinyl released earlier this year.
But if you blinked, you missed it. Only 1,000 copies were made, and they sold out almost instantly — even before Carpenter could share the news herself. “They sold out before I could upload anything,” she wrote on Instagram with heart emojis, sharing a reposted video from Blood Records showcasing the collectible.
If any song deserved such an imaginative re-release, it’s “Espresso.” Originally launched just ahead of her 2024 Coachella appearance, the single soared to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 — a personal best at the time — and went on to win Carpenter her first Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance, along with a nomination for Record of the Year.
“Espresso” also paved the way for her first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, Short n’ Sweet, which produced further hits like “please please please” and “Taste,” solidifying her as a rising force in pop music.
