It\u2019s not d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu. Olivia Rodrigo is back with a new album.<\/p>\n
The singer shared that her third album, \u201cYou Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love,\u201d will be released June 12. Rodrigo announced the news by wiping her Instagram feed and sharing a photo of the album cover, which shows her swinging upside down in a baby pink dress. <\/p>\n
\u201cI am so proud of this record and I can\u2019t wait for you to hear it,\u201d Rodrigo wrote on Instagram<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cYou Seem Pretty Sad\u201d comes two and a half years after the release of her sophomore album, \u201cGuts.\u201d Rodrigo and her team have been teasing the album since winter. To represent her transition from the purple aesthetic of her \u201cSour\u201d and \u201cGuts\u201d albums, a mural<\/a> in Los Angeles was repainted from purple to light pink a few weeks ago alongside a new \u201cOR\u201d logo. This album also departs from Rodrigo\u2019s one-word naming convention. <\/p>\n Rodrigo skyrocketed to fame with her debut solo single, \u201cDrivers License,\u201d in January 2021, when she was 17 years old. The single spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and sparked intrigue about the rumored love triangle between Rodrigo, her \u201cHigh School Musical: The Musical: The Series\u201d co-star Joshua Bassett and singer Sabrina Carpenter. Following the single\u2019s success, Rodrigo released \u201cSour\u201d in May 2021. <\/p>\n Rodrigo was nominated for seven Grammys and won the awards for best new artist, pop vocal album and pop solo performance in 2022. Even with her new exposure, Rodrigo told The Times<\/a> that she wasn\u2019t fazed by her stardom. <\/p>\n \u201cEveryone\u2019s like, \u2018What a weird life, huh?\u2019 But I don\u2019t know, it\u2019s probably not unlike the drastic change that another kid at 18 would have going to college,\u201d Rodrigo said in December 2021. <\/p>\n Rodrigo\u2019s second album, \u201cGuts,\u201d which dropped in September 2023, had a pop-punk edge compared to \u201cSour.\u201d She told The Times<\/a> that the album\u2019s rollout made her examine her \u201cidentity as an artist.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis time, I wasn\u2019t 17 years old, going through my first heartbreak, crying at the piano and a song just flies out. I had to sharpen my songwriting skills and my singing skills,\u201d Rodrigo said. \u201cIt felt like a different creative experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
