Olivia Rodrigo - SOUR (May 21, 2021) • Page 30

Yeah dude, I'm so stoked to follow his work now. It's like he takes all of what I think sounds good in my head, melodically, and makes it a reality, if that makes sense haha? Like, sonically speaking, I think he and I have the same thoughts as to what sounds "good" to us.

 

My wife watched like, 100 Olivia interviews on YouTube tonight and she's got amazing music taste and is a very astute and likable human, she's got such a bright future.

 

I think “brutal” is the most interesting song here....it’s definitely the one that sonically gets me most excited for what she’ll do next. She’s pretty clearly a very talented songwriter and I really like her influences, she has great taste obviously......she would fit in well on chorus.fm (if she isn’t already here....)

 

Also this record did make me go back and revisit Melodrama and wow we need Lorde back, that album is still so stunning and yes underrated. It’s like our Hounds of Love.

 

SOON, this year, this summer even... so soon

 

saw this song referenced online as being good, it's not too shabby for a song from a tv show about a movie or whatever this is

 

I get big Sucre vibes on some songs.

 

hdd projecting the first week at 286,550

 

drop it like it’s hot

 

My local alternative station played brutal today so that was pretty cool to hear

 

Mine played Bright Future In Sales by Fountains Of Wayne tonight and I was pleasantly shocked

Drew we’ll all be on the lookout for your Adele cover

 

Dang I was so close!

 

Respectable showing.

 

I was definitely under in my guess but sort of right that physical sales weren’t going to be the driving force for this album. It looks like actual sales are going to account for 20%-25% of the total.

 

Beating a dead horse but interested in seeing how much vinyl this record moves in 3 months

 

Vinyl would definitely have helped this record, but Taylor Swift sold 600,000 copies of Folklore last year without vinyl.

I don’t think I even have a point, just realizing how much of a goddamn machine TS is.

 

@Matt Chylak very much appreciate the breakdown, thank you!

 

good 4 her (but meant genuinely)

 

I appreciate that you included the @phaynes12 quote here.

Looking forward to @Drew Beringer giving us his take on “Chasing Pavements.”

 

No voice memo nonsense either, have to go to a real recording studio or at least buy Pro Tools.
