First Impressions: Olivia Rodrigo’s Third Studio Album

This week on The Overshare Pamphlet, I'm sharing my first impressions of Olivia Rodrigo's highly anticipated third album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love. We go track by track through the record, discussing its themes of love, insecurity, anxious attachment, and heartbreak, while I break down my favourite lyrics, standout songs, and why I think this might be Olivia's strongest songwriting to date. I also talk about the rollout, visuals, and whether the album delivers the same unforgettable pop moments as SOUR and GUTS.

Plus, I share my Songs of the Week, featuring MEOVV, Balu Brigada, Thomas Day, and two highlights from Olivia's new record.
