SOUR

SOUR is Olivia Rodrigo's 2021 debut studio album that blends pop, pop punk, power pop and ballad-driven songwriting into a cohesive coming-of-age record. Rodrigo's lyrics are confessional and emotionally direct, moving between piano-led torch songs and guitar-forward rockers, with dynamic production that foregrounds vocal melody and jagged pop-punk energy. The album centers on themes of teenage heartbreak and self-examination, pairing intimate storytelling with polished pop arrangements.
