Olivia Rodrigo is Over Me
My favorite album of last year was GUTS. I can't quit thinking about it.
I don’t usually write music reviews because when it comes to music, I’m an amateur. I had a couple of years’ worth of piano lessons. I played the oboe until I was 13. I sang in various choirs through high school. But while I can read sheet music and comprehend the basics of musical theory, I don’t know Music (capitalized so you know I’m talking about the thing as an institution) well enough to reflect critically on it. I can tell you if I like a song or not. I can’t speak intelligently as to why.
That said, I promised I would make this little space especially for those of you who support me financially a space where I’m working on my most raw and experimental stuff so brace yourself because today I’m writing about music.
Specifically, I want to explore my favorite album from last year: GUTS by Olivia Rodrigo.
