    The versatility of Rodrigo in 'SOUR' is surprising, the record explores a lot of different genres, pop-rock, pop, alternative, folk and combines an astonishing songwriting with an amazing production, making 'SOUR' an impressive debut that proves and advances Rodrigo's tremendous talent.

    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.

    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.

    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.

We can literally say that it has good songs like driver's license, deja vu, but the songs do not have a logical order and much less an order that is pleasing to the ear, he tried to combine too many genres, but in no song he explodes it as if he was waiting for the moment, but you end up boring yourself waiting for a song to pass that you may either like, or bore much more than the previous one Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I knew back in January that there was something special when Olivia came out with her drivers license single and 4 months later, we are being hit with quite possibly one of the best and most unique pop albums of the year so far. It's got an excellent blend of different styles, including everything from calm cuts like "drivers license" to more up-tempo and in-your-face tracks like "good 4 u" and even the opener is quite loud and bombastic. With SOUR, Olivia has definitely shown that new talent is not dead but is in fact living very well and continuing to push the boundaries of what music should be. In my opinion, there are no skips on this album and each track reinforces the next. Expand

    For a debut album it is very fabulous, it has different sounds and is rich in lyric, it shows Rodrigo's great ability to compose, his composition recalls the country days of Taylor Swfit, to be a teenage artist it is a great debut.
    Olivia Rodrigo is undoubtedly catapulting herself as an upcoming pop star on the rise.

    Sour is definitely one of the better debut albums, and better albums of the year. While it’s not the best. You’re definitely allowed to repeat most of these songs. With songs such as ‘Brutal’, ‘Traitor’ and ‘Jealousy, Jealousy’, this album should definitely be considered a top-tier album of the year.

    Numa caminhada lírica e dramática, Olivia nos leva a sentir e chorar com os sentimentos à flor da pele. Um álbum debut num nível de 5⁰ álbum da carreira! Olivia trouxe sua potência vocal e genialidade lírica, além de encrementar ainda mais com composições à mão de Taylor Swift e Jack Antonoff, demonstrando ainda, que ela está no rumo certo! Parabéns a Olivia Rodrigo por esta Obra!

    It is really a great debut album. She’s new to the industry we need to cut her some slack. I think because of Billie Eillish’s massive debut we’ve set a standard for teenagers to debut with an icebreaker album which is not fair. Pop is a massive genre. However, she did break many records with her debut single, she shows much potential with that and her debut album. More power to her!!

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.

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.
