Olivia Rodrigo - the cure

[Bronco 21,723]

Its better than drop dead. 
It's an okay song, but it takes to long to go anywhere and when it gets there I don't feel like the journey was worth it. 

I need the new gen pop girls to realise they can do something other than sing about boys.

drop dead was a failure, it takes a heck of a courage to release a song a month later that too 5 mins long

The video is super creative, you can tell they put a lot of work into it. Love that!

I truly don’t get the hype surrounding OR. Her music is cute at best, but it’s basically just a Disneyified version of early aughts pop punk (if you can imagine such a thing). I respect that she is more sonically daring than many of her peers (but that’s honestly not saying much) and I appreciate that she respects the previous generation of pop/rock icons, but whew is the music boring as sin and her vocals and performances are so meh.

Taylor Swift has condemned the current generation of pop girlies to never pass the Bechdel Test.

I found this quite the let-down. Drop Dead was below my expectations but I thought this would be an improvement. But no. Slow and methodical, doesn't go anywhere and faintly reminds me of other similar ballads. Even the video was very Melanie Martinez coded (Nurse's Office specifically). I liked her so much but now it seems like she's falling away from the pack. Maybe the rest of the album will be better but her singles used to be so strong that I'm starting to have my doubts. She stood out for being so punchy but now I feel like she's losing her bite.

I could get that a bit with her debut but she got better with time and her second album was her best and she was really starting to mature her sound and it's a shame that that era only produced one hit and it was ended pretty soon afterwards because the rest of it just wasn't catching on. But I get it, she isn't outstanding but she always did her own thing up until now and now it seems like she's playing it safer and is running out of ideas.
