8/8/2023 0 Comments Olivia rodrigo deja vu reviews![]() “So when you gonna tell her, that we did that too, she thinks it’s special, but it’s all reused” again focusing her creative lyrics and songwriting capabilities. It’s another break up song, focusing on the new girl more than the past relationship. Rodrigo starts out the song singing in her head voice, more light and airy, but by the end she’s belting making it built well. Starkly different vibe than her first single drivers license, it has eerie vamps in the background. ![]() The fifth is also a previous single ‘deja vu’. I think something that’s special about Rodrigo’s writing is a lot of her bridges are really well done and hone in the tone of the song incredibly well. Instead of the above lyric, she sings “And I’d leave you but the rollercoasters all I’ve ever had” which I think is really insightful into abusive relationships. The last chorus has a different lyric, a play Rodrigo does often to surprise the listener and hit the point harder. The chorus lyrics “I’m the love of your life until I make you mad” are very creative in my opinion and really help imagine the relationship at play. The lyrics are about not necessarily a breakup, but a probable soon one as the relationship it’s centered around does not seem to be incredibly healthy. The tempo change done between the verse and the chorus is done so well, making you wanting the next note in the chorus more and more, though not overly slow. It features piano, and bird noises too create the soft ambiance. The fourth track is ‘1 step forward, 3 steps back’. An amazing song, just overplayed at this point. However, now that it’s on an album and everyone has heard it, including myself, too many times, I skip it everytime. It topped charts for weeks and surpassed 100 million streams by January 2021. The lyrics were spot on and made me feel like I had just gone through a break up, even though I didn’t. When it first came out, I listened to it on repeat. Rodrigo’s voice really shines through with short runs, and more belting, and head voice at the end. This song is one of my favorites, as I am more of a ballad girl, but one this that peeves me about this is in the bridge she sings “God I wish that you had thought this through, before I went and fell in love with you” but when she says with she sings a ch sound directly into the you, so it’s more like a wichu, which in my opinion doesn’t fit the tone of the song. “Guess you didn’t cheat, but you’re still a traitor.” The song is closer to a ballad but not just a piano and her voice, there’s a guitar and some produced instruments. There are probably a million songs about cheating out there, but Rodrigo distinguishes this one as not cheating, but betrayal. The first of a couple breakup songs on the album, it takes a new stance on cheating. One thing that was missing for me was a harder hitting last chorus after she does a quieter bridge again, just to drive it home. ![]() The beat and lyrics make me want to head bob along and scream the lyrics at the top of my lungs. As it is the first track on the album, most artists like to open strong with a more upbeat song compared to a ballad, and this follows that trend. God, it’s brutal out here.” In fan rankings, brutal is never very high, however, I think it is quite relatable to teen struggles and realities. “They say these are the golden years, but I wish I could disappear, ego-crush is so severe. The lyrics are focused around being a teenager and not getting the stereotypical teenage dream. The song is written in 7 beats opposed to the usual 8, which is why I think the songs sound similar. The higher pitched yelling and both of them not accentuating their constandants, specifically the -re. When I first heard the chorus, it made me think of the bridge in Sheryl Crow’s ‘Soak Up the Sun’. It features a rock beat with more of alto notes in the verses, while the chorus is near yelling. Six songs out of the eleven are explicit. It’s in the pop and alt pop genre, centering on adolescence and heartbreak. The album was produced by Dan Nigro, co-written by Nigro and Rodrigo and released via Geffen Records. 18 year old Olivia Rodrigo first topped charts with ‘drivers license’, followed by ‘deja vu’ and finally ‘good 4 u’ before releasing the full album. Eleven songs spanning 34 minutes and 46 seconds, SOUR made headlines when it was released on May 21, 2021. A Disney star’s debut album following three hit singles.
