On ‘Guts’ she avoids all the second-album pitfalls with her most ambitious, intimate, and messy songs yet
. So expectations have been sky-high for her next move. But the suspense is over: her excellent new is another instant classic, with her most ambitious, intimate, and messy songs yet. Olivia’s pop-punk bangers are full of killer lines but she pushes deeper in powerful ballads like “Logical.” All over, she’s so witty, so pissed off, so angsty at the same time, the way only a rock star can be. And this is the album of a truly brilliant rock star.
Rodrigo avoids all the typical second-album pitfalls—no songs about how fame is stressful, no songs about social media. The great lead single “Vampire” turns out to be a total outlier, because it’s the only song that goes for a celebrity-life angle. Instead, she focuses on the topic she really cares about as a songwriter: the gawky, insecure, ordinary American Every-Girl we met in “Driver’s License.
“All-American Bitch” kicks it off with a fantastic pop-punk angst rant, with a title from Joan Didion, picking up where “Brutal” stopped. It’s full of slumber-party energy as she sings about striving to live up to a perfect ideal but trying to hide her dark side. At the end, she sneers, “I’m grateful all the time / I’m sexy and I’m kind / I’m pretty when I cry.”
