    Simply amazing! Sour is a melodramatic pop opera of broken teen dreams: right now, it puts Rodrigo in the driver’s seat, and woe betide anyone who gets in her way.

    Álbum impecável. Depois de 3 singles (sabiamente escolhidos) maravilhosos e totalmente versáteis, o hype pelo álbum de estreia da Olivia Rodrigo foi gigantesco. E ela conseguiu superar as expectativas. Talentosíssima igual a fav Taylor Swift. “brutal” é uma das melhores opening tracks que eu já ouvi, cativante demais. “jealousy, jealousy” é simplesmente uma pop perfection.

    A surprisingly good debut album which will provide Rodrigo with the platform to be one of the main pop icons of the 2020s. brutal is by far the best track

    I think that everyone agrees when I say that this is the album of the year so far. Every song has a instrumental quite similar to Taylor Swift works, what makes this album so much better. The last time the world experienced an album like this was Folklore, NFR & Melodrama.

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

    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

    This was lovely! Great and pretty varied sonically. Taylor Swift's presence are palpable. The lyrics cleverly constructed and I love how she touched upon subjects such as heartbreak, insecurities and generational trauma . Brutal and Hope Ur Ok are standouts for me. Overall, I think she has HUUUGE potential.

    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’s incredible how she was able to tell her story and almost bring us to inside her head and soul. Such a great album! Well done, Olivia!

    Realmente muito difícil algum artista fazer um debut album tão bom como esse, será que a Olivia irá nos surpreender ainda mais..?

    cada música desse álbum mostra uma faceta da personalidade da olivia e os momentos depois de um término, misturou vários gêneros e várias tonalidades e mesmo assim conseguiu entregar um álbum coeso e de qualidade, matou a billie, é aoty

    Awesome album. She is really good at making you feel like you've just broken up with someone. The way she writes, and sings is just an Olivia way. Love it too much. It's on repeat for me.

    Beautiful album, remind me of youth days and bittersweet heartbreak looking back then. Happier, Traitor and Favorite Crime are, for sure, highlights and essential tracks

    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.
