Olivia Rodrigo’s third studio album, “You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love” was released on June 12 through Geffen Records. Since its release, it has become Rodrigo’s biggest debut, surpassing both of her previous albums, “SOUR” and “GUTS.”

The crux of the album is familiar, with Rodrigo’s typical confessional songwriting. Listeners are immediately immersed in the effervescent intensity of her first single, “Drop Dead.” This title kicks off the album with the raw feelings of love at first sight.

Rodrigo’s second single, “The Cure” hits us with that shocking yet gnawing at your heart turmoil that we first experienced in “Driver’s License.” From this point, Rodrigo’s third album is very much like her previous two, albeit not as angsty and more mature. “You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love” is a concept album about the beginning and end of a tumultuous relationship.

Moving beyond the pop-rock sound that defined her earlier albums, Rodrigo expands her sound by incorporating influences from the ‘80s and ‘90s. “My Way” is a catty track that could be part of an early 2000s movie soundtrack of a high school mean girl. “Honeybee” is a tender Disney-esque song that’s perfect for a couple’s first wedding dance. “Purple” is perhaps the track that divides the first half of the album from the second. It starts as a typical love song, but by the end, the lyric “melt with you till I just feel sad,” reveals Rodrigo’s true feelings about the relationship.

A key takeaway from the album is that love can’t fix you. Rodrigo’s third album not only shows she’s a singer-songwriter who has perfected her craft, but also demonstrates her artistic vision and talent, making her one of the promising artists in this generation of music.
