Man's Best Friend is the upcoming seventh studio album by the American singer Sabrina Carpenter. It is set to be released on August 29, 2025, by Island Records. The album's lead single, "Manchild", charted at number one in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Carpenter produced the track with Jack Antonoff, who also co-produced her previous studio album, Short n' Sweet (2024).

The cover artwork of Man's Best Friend generated controversy and significant media attention; some criticized it as appealing to the male gaze in a detrimental manner to women, while others saw it as a way to challenge misogynistic expectations of women's sexual behavior. Later, Carpenter released an alternate direct-to-consumer cover, which she described as "approved by God".

Big news! We will be hosting an all ages, free to attend in-store performance with Cash Langdon on Thursday, June 19th @ 4pm!

Make sure to stick around after the performance for a chance to get some signed vinyl from Cash and the band!

Dogs (out May 2 on Seasick Records) is Cash Langdon’s second record under his own name, but the first joined by his band Meadow Dust (bassist Matt Whitson and drummer Reagan Bruce). Mostly recorded at Portside Studios (the former location of the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound) in just two days, engineer Brad Timko (Dan Sartain, St. Paul and The Broken Bones) captured the trio sounding fierce and tight. Their fuzzy take on heavy country rock recalls Neil Young & Crazy Horse and gives off the heat of Langdon’s native Birmingham. Like Young, his voice is simultaneously earnest and world-weary, but there’s a sense of humor too, and a resignation to keeping on (“Dogs”). These songs are beautiful, searing, southern-gothic testaments to the ongoing violence of being awake to the world around you (“Lilac Whiskey Noise”) and the resolve to stay awake anyway (“Magic Again”).
