With her bratty numbers and biting witticisms, Olivia Rodrigo proves she’s here for the long haul on her second album, 'Guts.'
as the campy opener takes the seething speak-singing of “Good 4 u” a step further by pairing the grungy sound of Hole with the ebullient pop-punk spirit that vacillates between thegarage band Pink Slip and Avril Lavigne. The bratty “Get Him Back!” sees the singer rapping as she grapples with reconciliation and revenge with an ex. “I wanna key his car / I wanna make him lunch ,” she sings over a “Steal My Sunshine”-like melody.
But Rodrigo has not abandoned her affinity for devastating balladry — they remain her standouts and only further prove her versatility as a modern-day star. After all, her debut single from, “Vampire,” turned the crushing disappointment of an ex who used her scorched earth, three-minute confessional with metaphorical comebacks about a “bloodsucker” and “fame fucker.
Throughout Rodrigo’s songwriting, she’s often compared herself to other femmes and on the deceptively sweet number “Lacy” she tackles that theme again, with sinister lyrics that depict the blurred lines of envy and a sapphic crush. “Dazzling starlet, Bardot reincarnatе / Well, aren’t you the greatest thing to ever exist?” she remarks with an airy lilt.
