Olivia Rodrigo is the voice of a new generation trying to vocalise their emotions. ‘Sour’ is in an impressive debut album that feels like an immediate classic. From the opening angst of ‘brutal’ where she tackles her coming of age dilemmas, right through to the empathetic LGBTQI+ anthem ‘hope ur ok’ she provides a snapshot of grief, hope and understanding.
With a major break-up focus, the storyline that plays a prominent feature is “I can’t believe you moved on without me so quickly” and it may seem a little melodramatic, but it is, and we love that energy from her. ‘traitor’, ‘happier’ and ‘favorite crime’ are some of the clear standouts from the record that fall into that storyline. But another one that feels so intimately special is ‘1 step forward, 3 steps back’ which hears her interpolating Taylor Swift’s ‘New Years Day’.
The emotionally charged record is a rollercoaster of feelings from the moment you press play. But it’s a ride that you won’t want to get off. Whether you’re going through the coming age moments in life with her, or reminiscing on that first heartbreak that stung a little too much, you will find a special place within this album.
