Most of you have probably listened to the single “Vampire” released by Olivia Rodrigo earlier in this month. Being an Olivia Rodrigo fanatic has led me to adoring this song but I also would like to elaborate on just the song.

If you haven’t heard Olivia Rodrigo is releasing her sophomore album “Guts” on September 8th, 2023. This was a change in the directive we originally saw in her debut album, SOUR where she was experimenting with a plethora of genres. I personally find it SUPER exciting she is branching away into other directives and not just sticking plainly to one thing. Ok now let’s get into the song.

If I’m being quite honest when I heard it the first time, I was a little conflicted on whether I enjoyed it or not. However, I definitely think the more times you listen, the better it gets. The general idea of song is applicable to a lot of things in life, which made it relatable and understandable for most people.

I think the range Olivia displays in this song is AMAZING. There were many different tones used throughout the song which in my opinion makes it so good. I like knowing the direction this album is heading and hopefully, she will be dropping another single before the release of the album to keep her fans entertained.

I would give this a listen despite your music taste. Many don’t listen to Olivia Rodrigo because her music is typically viewed as “overhyped” but it is for a reason. Knowing she’s a “newer” artist in the industry and YOUNG, is amazing. That’s another reason why I enjoy her music so much is that she’s super talented for her age and it’s nice knowing I’m listening to someone who grew up in the same sort of generation as us.
