I knew when SOUR came out that Olivia Rodrigo was going to change the music industry. I’m so here for it. SOUR Prom was released on YouTube on June 29, 2021. It was more of a performance-based film. On March 25, 2022, driving home 2 u: a sour film was released on Disney+. Olivia truly has this incredible gift for songwriting and creating music.
This film shows us that she’s also capable of creative direction. I could definitely see her directing music videos or even films one day because she has that creative eye.
This film is beautifully shot with a noise overlay that gives it an overall vintage vibe which I absolutely loved. The cinematography felt so authentic and true to Olivia.
The rearrangements of the songs were absolute perfection. If that version of good 4 u isn’t going to be released on Spotify, I’m gonna lose it. It was so incredible. I actually think I prefer it over the original.
To see someone at such a young age be so articulate and well-spoken through her songwriting and even through conversation is such a rare thing. It’s truly astonishing.
I’m so excited to see what Miss Olivia does next because I know it’s gonna be amazing.
