The Song of the Summer Is Actually the Song of 1982 Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” is one of several recent hits bringing back the genre that never got a name.

Hey @dancharnas.bsky.social, this rich story you expertly tell is revelatory, maddening and sad—even as it highlights hidden gems that evoke joy and nostalgia.
