Chris Schulz: Olivia Rodrigo - You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love

About this episode

Chris Schulz joins Jack Tame to discuss Olivia Rodrigo's new album, exploring its emotional depth and musical shifts.

Olivia Rodrigo is switching things up for her third studio album.  Where her two previous albums leaned more on upbeat pop-punk influences, ‘You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love’ shifts between indie-pop and emotional ballads.  Rodrigo describes the album as a “time capsule of a relationship in all its highs and lows,” with the A-side, ‘Girl So in Love’ representing the honeymoon stage, the intense building emotions of a new relationship, and the B-side, ‘You Seem Pretty Sad’, covering the downfall.  Chris Schulz joined Jack Tame to share his thoughts on the album.  LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
