    This is a **** masterpiece. Olívia is talent in person, everything she touchs works. Her voice is amazing, her lyrics are deep and sooo emotional, I can't believe she's only 18. OLIVIA RODRIGO WORLD DOMINATION!

    A produção n chega a impressionar mas é boa e entrega o q a música pede, destaque pros momentos pop-rock que são ótimas. O q mais se descarta no álbum são as letras super honestas, reais e íntimas, acompanhando da performance vocal dela q entrega um peso incrível pras letras. A minha principal crítica ao álbum é fato da maioria das músicas serem curtas.

    Com "sour" Olivia mostra os lados bons da juventude: os romances, a energia caótica da mente adolescente e os dramas que nos seguem. Incluindo instrumentais como guitarra e piano, a cantora contagia com batidas mais caóticas como "brutal" e nos acalma com batidas mais lentas como "happier". Mesclando generos e estilos, Olivia rebate as críticas que vem recebido e nos mostra o seu talento:Com "sour" Olivia mostra os lados bons da juventude: os romances, a energia caótica da mente adolescente e os dramas que nos seguem.

Mesclando generos e estilos, Olivia rebate as críticas que vem recebido e nos mostra o seu talento: cantar, compôr e produzir. Com esse album, a cantora mostra ao mundo que chegou com tudo e que além de cantora e atriz, ela é uma adolescente, que está passando por experiencias, decepções e administra isso da forma dela: cantando, particularmente, dúvido que metade dos jovens que a criticam por "bater na mesma tecla" conseguiriam fazer um projeto tão engenhoso quanto esse. Em suma, "sour" é uma bela mistura do estrondoso e do calmo, do triste e do dançante, da alma jovem entristecida e da alma jovem rebelde e agitada.

    Olivia's "SOUR" revolves around a single theme, which is correctly explored over 11 tracks.

    Best album of 2021 so far, I connected with the lyrics deeply and the way he played with the sounds surprised me positively although it was something I was concerned about. It is worth remembering that it is a debut album with only 3 composers and 2 producers and totally diversified, with ballads, indie pop, pop-rock, a taste of folk can also feel jazz in a more cohesive way. Bright future ahead.

    10.5/11 ~ .955 -> 9.12

    Ever since drivers license came out earlier this year, I have always been grappled by Olivia Rodrigo’s uncommon ability to write phenomenal lyrics. In fact, her first three singles (which I have basically listened on repeat to) were so timely with my personal experiences. Somehow, Rodrigo is able to explain the sea of countless emotions that I know a good number of people have experiences at least sometime in their life, and she does this accompanied by music that is a blast to listen to. For a debut album, this is off the charts. I can honestly say that I am not the type of person who gives out 10s to every album I come across (just check my other reviews out!), but this one absolutely deserves it. The album is balanced beautifully, with calm piano or acoustic guitar-based songs mixed in with “Taylor Swift meets Green Day'' tracks that are exceedingly fun to listen to.

    I really wish that I could include my song-by-song commentary, though that would push my review past the character limit.

    As a whole, Rodrigo makes a remarkable debut with her first album, SOUR. There was obviously a lot of hype surrounding it, and I can absolutely say that it definitely lived up to my expectations. The sound of the album is terrific, but I feel like Rodrigo truly shines in her most energetic songs (her belting voice sounds surprisingly good). That being said, her lyrics are really what is first and foremost the most brilliant part of this album. Somehow she is able to beautifully convey complex feelings and in addition to that she packs her feelings very eloquently in music form. I know SOUR was just released, but I greatly look forward to hearing what Rodrigo produces in the future. I believe all lovers of music will appreciate SOUR, as it is a combination of multiple forms of music. Olivia Rodrigo, in the miniscule chance that you are reading this, know that SOUR is, I kid you not, one of the best albums I have listened to. You are awesome! Highlights: brutal; traitor; drivers license; 1 step forward, 3 steps back; deja vu; good 4 u; enough for you; happier; and jealousy, jealousy.    … Expand

    Olivia Rodrigo's debut LP arrived as suddenly as "drivers license" did earlier this year. I personally did not enjoy that song too much. However, it was the next single, "deja vu" that caught my interest. "good 4 u" continued this sustained intrigue of mine. It made me eager to check out "SOUR" when it would drop.

I personally did not enjoy that song too much. However, it was the next single, "deja vu" that caught my interest. "good 4 u" continued this sustained intrigue of mine. It made me eager to check out "SOUR" when it would drop.

    The opening track, "brutal", is self-explanatory. It starts with some cinematic strings, which are quickly scrapped for some heavy and angsty guitars. It is just the contrast that the song needs. "traitor", for me, personally is a nice tune, but it's not one of my favorites.

    "drivers license", the album's quintessential tune, is a sweeping pop song about heartbreak and teenage romance, which sets up "1 step forward, 3 steps back" for success. It's a sweet sounding song. "deja vu" and "good 4 u" go well together in the tracklisting, with another acoustic ballad ("enough for you") after.

    The album's later cuts, like "happier" and "jealousy, jealousy" are great fun as well, with whispers of the pop sounds of Lorde and Taylor Swift, but with a unique Olivia twist. "favorite crime" made me wonder how much better the album would be with one or two more upbeat songs instead of ballads, but "hope ur ok" really closed the album in an endearing and appealing way.

    "SOUR" is an impressive debut. It sets Rodrigo apart from the rest of the pop stars of the time. It'll be exciting to see where she goes from here.    … Expand

    Olivia Rodrigo is making me feel more youthful after hearing the album, she took me to a journey of the girl who is feeling insecure of her relationship.

    It's one of the best pop vocal albums I've ever listened to. Other than that, it is almost unbelievable that it's a debut album! The tracks are very honest and everyone can relate to the storytelling. Olivia is changing the industry and its rules.

    this is the best album i've heard in 2021 so far. anyone who's heard SOUR would know how liv gave her all into making her debut album. it's impossible for a teenager not to connect with her lyrics and her teenage feelings. some say she references too many artists, but she mixed taylor swift, lorde, billie eilish, and a lot more into her own style, it's so brand new and i just love it.this is the best album i've heard in 2021 so far. anyone who's heard SOUR would know how liv gave her all into making her debut album. it's impossible for a teenager not to connect with her lyrics and her teenage feelings. some say she references too many artists, but she mixed taylor swift, lorde, billie eilish, and a lot more into her own style, it's so brand new and i just love it. everyone should hear SOUR. and i can't believe liv is only seventeen and this is only her debut album. this girl will have such a bright future, she will become the hugest star of the decade. and by when she becomes the most popular and liked global star, i will proudly say to the world how i listened to her debut album twenty times per day and how much i loved her from the start.

    I'm so surprised at how fantastic and touching this album is. I always thought that all music talked about was teenager love. But after listening to this album more carefully, I realized that each word has so much heartwarming. Yes, it is mostly about first love or something like that, but the important part is how the lyrics talks about feelings and just cliché love.

    After listening to Sour many times I can honestly say it is probably my favorite debut album of all time and one of my favorite albums I have ever listened to also my favorite album of the year, I loved every song.

The songwriting is phenomenal; the lyrical content is just exceptional so beautifully honest, emotional, and real. Olivia's vocal's are excellent I love the honest and emotional qualities of her voice; she does superb job at conveying emotion through her vocals. The production is terrific. I love how versatile she is musical by blending pop with touches of many different genres but still making it sound very cohesive. The artwork is great, I love the style of both covers. This is an A++ album and I see some Grammys in her future especially next year and can tell she is going to have a long and successful music career.… Expand

    Her combination of sweet melodies and bitter moods, her conversational flow, and her self-awareness are all skills many songwriters twice her age would love to call their own, and they make Sour a well-rounded emotional journey and strong debut album.

    Sour, for the most part, is a pop album that dips its toes into the alt-pop and bedroom pop subgenres, specifically spending most of its time in the latter. ... Rodrigo's lo-fi deep cuts that were made in the shadow of "Drivers License" can sound a bit repetitive. Her craft as a songwriter is especially evident on tracks like "Enough For You", "Happier", or "Hope Ur Ok", but the acoustic complexion these songs were going for could have benefitted from a bit more background noise.

    By the end of the album, Rodrigo has established her voice and showed listeners that she's not afraid to be vulnerable. SOUR is a strong debut that vividly illustrates the beautiful chaos of being inside a teenage girl's brain.
