Sour - LP

Release: 20. august 2021

Sour (stylized in all caps) is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo. It was released on May 21, 2021, via Geffen Records. The album was recorded in isolation during the COVID-19 lockdowns, with its production handled by Dan Nigro, who also co-wrote the album alongside Rodrigo. Originally planned as a debut EP, Sour was upgraded to a full-length album after the viral success of Rodrigo's debut single, "Drivers License".

Inspired by Rodrigo's favorite genres and singer-songwriters, Sour is primarily a pop record that sprawls between energetic pop punk songs and bedroom pop ballads fused with alt-pop. Its subject matter centers on adolescence, failed romance and heartache. She said the album explores her perils and discoveries as a 17-year-old, with its title referring to the "sour" emotions young women experience but are often criticized for, such as anger, jealousy and unhappiness. Sour received acclaim from music critics, who regarded it a solid debut album and praised Rodrigo's musical versatility, honest lyrics, and Generation Z appeal. Probably THE biggest pop star of 2021!
