“Y’all need to get out more, I think,” Sabrina said on CBS Mornings, in response to people who take issue with her album artwork.
She continued, “I was actually shocked because between me, my friends, family, and the people I always share my music and art with first, it just wasn’t even a conversation. It was just like, it’s perfect for what the album is [and] what it represents.”
“Everything about it to me just felt like so opposite of like the world ending,” Sabrina said.
She said that the meaning behind the cover is “being in on your lack of control and when you want to be in control. I think as a young woman, you’re just as aware of when you’re in control as when you’re not. And I think some of those are choices. And I think for me, this whole album was about the humanity of allowing yourself to make those mistakes, knowing when you’re, you know, putting yourself in a situation that will probably end up poorly, but it’s going to teach you something. So there’s a lot of different meanings.”
Sabrina added that when the album cover came out, critics “hadn’t heard the project. They don’t know me, they don’t know my intentions. They don’t know the stories I’m telling. I try to take it with a grain of salt and also know that my fans that know me, and know the person behind the music, look at that photo and they know exactly what it is.
So, what do her parents think?
“And people that don’t know who I am absolutely look at that photo and go, like, ‘Where are her parents?’… My parents actually saw the photo and they loved it!” she said.
Sabrina just shared rare comment about her famous ex-boyfriend.
