Olivia Rodrigo – Sour LP Vinyl Record
To listen to Rodrigo’s debut full-length is to know – on a very deep and almost uncomfortably familiar level – exactly what she was going through, when she wrote it at 17. Anchored by the now-ubiquitous breakup ballad “Drivers License” – an often harrowing, closely studied lead single that already felt like a lock for song-of-the-year honours the second it arrived in January 2021 – “Sour” combines the personal and universal to often devastating effect, folding diary-like candour and autobiographical detail into performances that recall the millennial pop of Taylor Swift (“Favorite Crime”) just as readily as the ’90s alt-rock of Elastica (“Brutal”) and Alanis Morissette (“Good 4 U”). The album has the sound and feel of an instant classic, a “Jagged Little Pill” for Gen Z.
“All the feelings that I was feeling were so intense,” Rodrigo says. “I called the record Sour because it was this really sour period of my life—I remember being so sad, and so insecure, and so angry. I felt all those things, and they’re still very real, but I’m definitely not going through that as acutely as I used to. It’s nice to go back and see what I was feeling, and be like, ‘It all turned out all right. You’re okay now.’” A little older and a lot wiser, Rodrigo shares the wisdom she learned channeling all of that into one of the most memorable debut albums in ages.
