although i’m kinda skeptical of the purple—i feel like it might get old if she continues with it for too long, i think a 3rd purple album to close it out would be amazing though, like a little purple trilogy
that would be so good. people didn’t like the red bra in guts deluxe but i kinda loved it idk😭😭 i think if she leans more into the pop rock element, red would be perfect.
i feel the same way about the 4-letter and all caps titles, you can only make so many of those before it gets a little gimmicky. but i absolutely adored her songwriting on GUTS—everything i enjoyed about SOUR was matured and brought her into a different light in my eyes. i’m so excited to see where she goes next (i need an album like rn)
this was an amazing essay!!! you were incredibly insightful and made some wonderful points. i had a similar journey with olivia as you so i felt very connected. beautiful!!!!
Love her music, but I am even more impressed by her marketing skills. The visuals for sour, guts, her vampire song all that are just soooo good! I’m not super up to date on the music scene, but her visuals are what drew me in and got me listening!
I felt like I just read ur senior thesis cause it was that well researched lol but thank u for mentioning u can’t catch me now that song lives in my head fr
I’ve been looking forward to reading this one by you and it didn’t disappoint! I agree, I just didn’t totally “get” SOUR until I had my heart broken, then I came back to it and it resonated and comforted me a lot. I stream GUTS all the time and I think all-American bitch is maybe my most played song on Spotify :) I loved this analysis, thank you!
I’m really glad you enjoyed it :)) your original comment that you wanted to read something like this was a significant motivator for me to actually do it, so thank you for that as well!
Hit the nail on the head! Jealousy Jealousy is like the first song that really struck me as authentically experienced as opposed to ghost written by some old music industry exec
celebration of pop is what i want to see!!! thank youuu
She’s my favorite artist ever

I've heard OR3 may be red

I honestly believe that was a hint in the guts deluxe at the future music
