Olivia Rodrigo - déjà vu

[Jark]

2nd single coming Thursday.

it has been described by her as "clever and dreamy" and by those who've heard it as a little more upbeat, same wheelhouse but even more Lorde-esque.



quite perched

 

[Devil]

A Thursday release is an interesting tact.

Looking forward to this, I love Drivers License

 

[dUb]

here 4 it

 

[POP!]

Digging that description, and I feel like "Driver's License" just scratches the surface of what she can give us.

 

[Jark]

Maybe she'll give us the entire of Pure Heroine!

[Jark]

omg. listening now.

 

[Jark]

ugh my housemate is talking and rustling takeaway wrappers all over my first listen ffs.

 

[Jark]

it certainly doesn't stray far from the template

 

[GNL]

This song has big 'stalking your ex's new girlfriend' energy.

 

[Jark]

I really like it but it doesn't sound like a smash. the "watching reruns of Glee" line is... a choice.

 

[Devil]

it certainly doesn't stray far from the template

This. By the end I’m liking it though.

 

[Penelope]

God if Lorde's next album isn't huge I'll be furious

 

[Jark]

this song, which I have upgraded from "really?" to "quite good" to "omg it's blowing my mind" in the space of a week, debuts at #8 on the Hot 100

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Are the payola rumours true though?

 

[Jark]

nope

Still into this - and High School Musical The Musical The Series Season 2 is out on the 14th of May

OLIVIA UP

 

[POP!]

I prefer this to "driver's license"

Love the subtle build between choruses, and the alt-rock elements

 

[dUb]

Weirdly, this is as NUMBER SEVENTY TWO on Irish iTunes, with driver’s licence still at 7

 

[POP!]
