Taste〉是美国歌手莎賓娜·卡本特的一首歌曲,收录于她的第6张录音室专辑《微甜》。歌曲于2024年8月23日通过小島唱片作为专辑的第3张单曲发行。Carpenter wrote it with songwriters Julia Michaels and Amy Allen英语Amy Allen (songwriter) and its producers John Ryan英语John Ryan (musician) and Ian Kirkpatrick英语Ian Kirkpatrick (record producer), with Julian Bunetta also contributing to production. The lyrics of "Taste" address the complexities of relationship issues. Dave Meyers英语Dave Meyers (director) directed the music video, which features Jenna Ortega. Musically, "Taste" has been labeled as a pop and slacker rock英语slacker rock song.

Like Carpenter's previous two singles, "Espresso" and "Please Please Please英语Please Please Please (Sabrina Carpenter song)", "Taste" was an immediate success, debuting at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her third top ten single on the chart. Outside of the United States, "Taste" topped the charts in Australia, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, becoming Carpenter's third consecutive number-one single in all three countries.

背景

卡本特与词曲作家茱莉亞·麥可斯艾米·阿倫英语Amy Allen (songwriter)共同创作了歌曲。歌曲的制作人为约翰·莱恩英语John Ryan (musician)伊恩·柯克派屈克英语Ian Kirkpatrick (record producer),朱利安·布奈塔(Julian Bunetta)亦参与了歌曲的制作[1]。歌曲随专辑的释出作为单曲发行[2]。根据《Paper英语Paper (magazine)》埃里克·坎贝尔(Erica Campbell)的说法,卡本特在歌词中表达了感情生活的复杂性。在接受采访时,卡本特谈及歌词时表示:“我什么题材的歌都会写。不是说我都会发行出来,但我会写。我觉得我在感情生活中遭到的一系列不幸的事情对那些了解我或者觉得自己了解我的人都不是什么秘密了。”[3]

Composition

"Taste" is two minutes and 37 seconds long.[4] Ryan and Bunetta programmed the song, and they produced it with Kirkpatrick. Ryan and Bunetta play guitar, bass, drums, and percussion, and Aaron Sterling英语Aaron Sterling plays drums. Ryan and Jeff Gunnell recorded the song at the Perch in Calabasas, California, Juicy Hill Studios in the Bahamas, and the Playpen in Calabasas, California; Serban Ghenea英语Serban Ghenea mix英语Audio mixing (recorded music)ed it at MixStar Studios in Virginia Beach with engineering from Bryce Bordone; and Nathan Dantzler mastered it with assistance from Harrison Tate.[1] "Taste" has been labeled as a pop and slacker rock英语slacker rock song.[5][6] According to Billboard's Jason Lipshutz, it "fuses rock guitar, country-tinged vocals and disco melodies".[5] Lindsay Zoladz of The New York Times described the song as a mixture of "'80s pop gloss and '90s country sass".[7]

This song is composed in the key of E♭ major, with a tempo of approximately 111 beats per minute (BPM). The chord progression in the song follows the sequence of E♭, Cm, A♭, and B♭, which defines its harmonic structure.[8][9]

Critical reception

Lipshutz believed that being a "deliriously likable potpourri of pop styles", "Taste" deserved to be chosen as the album's third single. He went on to describe the song as an "electrifying anthem" whose breakdown was perfectly designed for Carpenter to perform on an arena tour.[5] Including it in The New York Times's list of the most notable tracks of its release week, Zoladz shared a similar opinion and believed it continued the "winning streak" established by its preceding singles.[7] Tom Breihan of Stereogum felt that "Taste" was "about to be another hit".[10]

Commercial performance

"Taste" debuted at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 issued for September 7, 2024. The song was joined by "Please Please Please" at number three and "Espresso" at number four, making Carpenter the only act other than the Beatles to chart their first three top five hits in the region during the same week.[11] In Canada, "Taste" entered at number four on the Canadian Hot 100 issued for the same date.[12] The song debuted as Carpenter's third number one on the UK Singles Chart, with "Please Please Please" and "Espresso" appearing at numbers two and three, respectively, during the same chart week. This made her the first female and third overall artist to earn the country's number one album and single simultaneously while also occupying the single chart's top three.[13][14] All three songs held their positions the following week, making Carpenter the only act other than Ed Sheeran to occupy the top three for two consecutive weeks.[15]

In Australia, "Taste" entered at number one, followed by "Please Please Please" and "Espresso" as Carpenter occupied the entire top three.[16] "Taste" debuted at number two in New Zealand.[17] The song charted at number two on the Billboard Global 200.[18] It also reached the top fifteen on national record charts at number one in Ireland,[19] number two in Norway,[20] number four in Singapore,[21] number five in Malaysia,[22] number eight in South Africa,[23] number nine in the Netherlands and Sweden,[24][25] number eleven in Denmark,[26] and number twelve in Latvia.[27]

Music video

The music video featured appearances from American actress Jenna Ortega (left) and Canadian actor Rohan Campbell英语Rohan Campbell (right).

Dave Meyers英语Dave Meyers (director) directed the music video, which features Jenna Ortega and Rohan Campbell英语Rohan Campbell. In a teaser that Carpenter posted online, she picks up a knife from a bed filled with weapons and walks into a house. She heads upstairs, where she finds Ortega in the shower with Campbell. Carpenter pulls back the shower curtain and goes to stab Ortega, who is visibly terrified. The screen cuts to black and Carpenter uses the knife as a mirror to fix her lipstick while singing, "Oh, I leave quite an impression."[2][28]

The music video was inspired by the 1992 film Death Becomes Her starring Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn, which carries a similar premise. The murder sequences and costume choices also make explicit visual references to Psycho (1960), Addams Family Values (1993), Ginger Snaps (2000), and Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003).[29]

Synopsis

The video starts with Carpenter singing a lullaby, preparing to kill her currently asleep target. She then breaks into the house of her ex-boyfriend (Campbell), planning to attack his new girlfriend (Ortega) with a machete. Ortega sets up a decoy in a bed and ambushes Carpenter, shooting her out of a window, where she is impaled on a fence. This kicks off a gory battle between the two, featuring hospital defibrillators as weapons, voodoo dolls, and Ortega severing Carpenter's arm after the latter catches her in the shower with her boyfriend. Near the end of the video, while Ortega is kissing her boyfriend, she finds herself hallucinating herself kissing Carpenter. A horrified Ortega promptly lashes out with her chainsaw, only to accidentally kill the boyfriend, failing to realize her mistake until Carpenter rushes out to watch him drown in the pool. At his funeral, the two women agree they are better off as friends than as rivals, with Ortega noting how insecure the victim was, and Carpenter humorously agreeing.[30]

Live performance

Carpenter performed a medley of "Taste", "Please Please Please", and "Espresso" at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards on September 11, 2024.[31][32] The performance began with an audio sample of Britney Spears's song "Oops!... I Did It Again" (2000).[33][34] Perched on a massive diamond suspended high above the stage, Carpenter began performing "Please Please Please"[35] as silver confetti cascaded around her. She touched down on a futuristic set where an astronaut and a blue-skinned alien performed a dance to "Taste". The provocative choreography included a moment where the alien playfully lifted a leg onto the astronaut's shoulder before Carpenter took centre-stage, pulling the astronaut aside and kissing the female alien. Stripping off the high collar of her silver-studded outfit, Carpenter strode down the catwalk while singing "Espresso", surrounded by helmeted dancers performing space-themed routines under neon signs and visuals of a giant Moon Person extending into the crowd. The performance concluded with Carpenter reclining into a group of dancers, inspired by Marilyn Monroe.[36][37][38][39] Entertainment Weekly's Lester Fabian Brathwaite and Vogue's Hannah Jackson thought Carpenter channeled Spears, Monroe, and Madonna on the Blond Ambition World Tour英语Blond Ambition World Tour.[40][41]
