Team Island is shifting into a higher gear this week as it prepares to unleash Sabrina Carpenter's Short n' Sweet on Friday (8/23). Led by the global smash hits "Espresso" and "Please Please Please," the album will be supported by a massive AEG-promoted tour, beginning 9/23 in Columbus, Ohio.

Beforehand, Carpenter will perform on the eve of SNS's release on NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and 9/11 on the MTV Video Music Awards, where she's up for six trophies.

Seen mugging with Carpenter atop NYC’s Electric Lady Studios are Island's Natasha Kilibarda, Erika Clark, Marshall Nolan, Jackie Winkler, Jay Schumer, Lauren Schneider, Shahendra Ohneswere, Imran Majid and Steven Rowen, Volara Management's Merce Jessor, and Island's Mike Alexander and Justin Eshak.

Moments after the photo was snapped, the revelers headed to the Coppola Cafe for a round of decaf espressos.
