Sour
Olivia Rodrigo
This debut record translates private anguish into tracks that function as massive sing-alongs. The songwriting maintains a consistent intensity regardless of how many times the listener returns to the material.
Production choices bridge the gap between early 2000s pop-punk and stripped-back acoustic arrangements. The result is a work that feels polished for radio play while remaining grounded enough to feel intimate and honest.
