SOUR
📖 About this album
Olivia Rodrigo's debut album, released in 2021. Emo-pop and alternative pop rooted in the sounds of the 2000s, launched by "drivers license", one of the most-streamed singles in Spotify history. A remarkably coherent debut from an eighteen-year-old artist.
📝 Our review
SOUR is an extraordinary debut because Olivia Rodrigo sounds like someone living exactly what she is singing. "drivers license" was the single everyone heard; the album around it has more substance than the viral success suggested. Emo-pop with guitars that taste of the 2000s, lyrics about adolescence and heartbreak with a precision few people achieve at that age. A debut that carries more weight than usual.
