Sour?[Geffen, 2021]
This manifestly competent 18-year-old actress has a two-boyfriend romantic history dating back to 2018 that pop aesthetes who avoid the Disney channel can just Google--both, unsurprisingly, with actors a year or two older than she is. Also unsurprisingly, she's gorgeous. But that's never stopped women from worrying that their bodies aren't "perfect," which along with other inevitable insecurities was enough to fuel an exquisite teen-breakup concept album produced by 38-year-old helper bunny Daniel Nigro. Again and again dainty melodies meet big drums and are only stronger for it as every simple word comes clear. She doesn't drink yet but knows how he likes his coffee and let's bet her own; she says "fuck" and "bullshit," the latter to modify "eternal love." Though he did the driving let's also bet he gave her some of the lessons that flowered into her first megahit even if she still can't really, in everybody's favorite trope, parallel park. But when he transfers his attentions to "someone more exciting," it's Olivia's jokes he's telling, Olivia's Billy Joel he's playing. And for a transcendent finale she leaves her own pain behind and sends her very best to an abused boy she knew when they were small and a middle school friend with parents who "hated who she loved."?A
這位18歲超群絕倫的女演員Olivia Rodrigo曾有兩段可追溯到2018年的戀情,使原本并非迪士尼的受眾也想谷歌搜索她——毫無疑問,兩位男演員都比她年長一兩歲。不出意料,她外表靚麗。但這并不能阻止女生陷入顏值焦慮,外加不可避免的不安全感,這足以制成一張精致的青少年分手的概念專輯,由38歲的兔子助手Daniel Nigro制作。始而復(fù)終的精巧旋律在清晰的吐字下與大鼓碰撞而愈發(fā)激烈。她不喝飲料,但知道前任有多愛咖啡,我猜她是這樣的。她說“fuck”和“bullshit”,后者用來修飾前任口中的“eternal love”(永恒的愛)。雖然是他在開車,但讓我們大膽假設(shè),他也給了她一些經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn),這些都成為她第一首大熱單的創(chuàng)作素材(“driver‘s license”),盡管她還是沒學(xué)會開車。用一句好玩的話說,叫平行泊車。但當(dāng)他把注意力轉(zhuǎn)移到?"someone more exciting,"上時,他講著Olivia說過的笑話,唱著Olivia教過的Billy Joel的歌。在絕對封神的專輯收尾曲(“hope ur ok”)中,她將自身的痛苦拋在身后,向童年那會認(rèn)識的一個受家暴虐待的男孩和在中學(xué)期間認(rèn)識的一位與父母不和的男孩送出最好的祝愿。A
