“Is this pop? Now it’s R&B… it’s got the double espresso thing going on”: pro pianist Erskine Hawkins creates a new version of Sabrina Carpenter’s hit single based on just the drums and vocals

We have to congratulate Pianote, because for its latest piano challenge, it appears to have found one of the few music fans in the world who hasn’t heard Sabrina Carpenter’s Espresso.

Actually, we should say ‘hadn’t heard’, because pro keyboard player Erskine Hawkins has now been made aware of Carpenter’s smash-hit single, but only after he was asked to try and recreate the song based on hearing just the drums and vocals.
