Geffen’s Olivia Rodrigo possesses a rare combination of star power, authenticity and elevated songwriting chops—all fully on display on “vampire,” the first taste of the Gen Z superstar’s ravenously anticipated sophomore album, GUTS. The 20-year-old prodigy’s follow-up to SOUR—quadruple platinum, 40b global streams and sales of 17m+ units worldwide—is due 9/8.
Rodrigo begins her sophomore season with three Grammy wins (Best New Artist, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance) already under her belt, not to mention having broken streaming records during the new single’s release week. That doesn’t suck—although finding herself on the cover of this unseemly rag most certainly bites.
