There’s now only a few hours until the release of Olivia Rodrigo’s new album ‘you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love’ – here’s all you need to know.

The American singer became an instant star with debut single ‘drivers license’, doubling down on her creativity with internationally successful albums ‘SOUR’ and ‘GUTS’.

New album ‘you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love’ seems to be a point of graduation. The all-important third record, it was produced by Daniel Nigro, with Jim-E Stack and Noah Conrad on co-production.

Here’s the tracklisting:

drop dead
stupid song
honey bee
maggots for brains
u + me = <3
my way
purple
the cure
begged
what’s wrong with me
less
expectations
cigarette smoke

Olivia Rodrigo gave a pre-release interview to VOGUE, and reflected on her love of London, and the British influences on the record. Of music, she said: “It just makes you feel less alone. I think that’s what art is for: to make us all remember that we’re so interconnected.”

The songwriter released ‘drop dead’ as a lead single, before unleashed ‘The Cure’. In our 9/10 review of ‘The Cure’, CLASH wrote that song is “extravagant in scope, and perfectly weighted in execution. Amid the glittering highlights of her catalogue to date, ‘The Cure’ somehow feels bolder, stronger, and even more emphatic. A wonderful piece of pop songwriting that revels in honesty on the biggest stage of all, it further underlines Olivia Rodrigo’s place as one of this generation’s defining icons.”
