Olivia Rodrigo is FINALLY back after what felt like an eternity to announce the release of her upcoming sophomore album, GUTS, due out September 8th. This news comes shortly after the alt-pop star shared that her brand new single “Vampire” will drop as the first taste of the new record on June 30th.

Honestly, “exploded” even feels like an understatement. This song took over the world, to say the least. The power-pop ballad broke a string… Read more »

The lyrics channel a sense of defiance and empowerment, encouraging listeners… Read more »
