This musical moment arrives on the heels of Carpenter’s release of the official music video for “Please Please Please” last month. The video, which stars Carpenter’s boyfriend, actor Barry Keoghan, has been generating significant buzz.
The narrative begins with Carpenter being released from jail, a continuation from the ending of her “Espresso” music video, and follows her character’s complex relationship with Keoghan’s character.
Keoghan’s role in the video sees him transitioning from a fellow inmate to Carpenter’s lover, but his return to criminal activities introduces a dramatic twist. The climax of the video shows Carpenter reluctantly joining Keoghan in a robbery, leading to their arrest.
In a final twist, Carpenter’s character takes Keoghan home from jail only to handcuff him to a chair, tape his mouth shut, and leave him in an abandoned warehouse after a kiss, highlighting themes of betrayal and retribution.
“Please Please Please” is set to be a significant track on Carpenter’s upcoming album, “Short n’ Sweet,” which fans eagerly anticipate. The album, scheduled for release on Friday, Aug. 23, promises to feature more of Carpenter’s emotionally charged and narrative-driven music.
