![]() The week Olivia Rodrigo was born in 2003, Avril Lavigne was in the Top 10 with “I’m With You,” according to Rolling Stone. So if you, like us, need something to hold you over while you wait for Rodrigo’s debut, here are 7 pop-punk rock purveyors to press play on. I think anyone can find something they like hidden in one of the songs.” ![]() There are elements of alternative rock in there, alt-pop, some country, and definitely a lot of folk. This album is full of stuff that I like, which is so diverse. I suppose I’m considered a pop artist, but I’ve never felt like one. Plus, as Rodrigo shared in an interview with The Face on the sound of her upcoming album, “I feel like music is becoming increasingly genreless. Trust us, we know we don’t have to compare and contrast every female singer that’s ever made music that isn’t strictly pop, but why not salute the plaid-wearing, Doc Martens-donning foremothers of pop-punk, because as the Saturday Night Live skit on that very topic clarifies, yes she’s wearing her influences on her sleeve, “but it’s also pure Olivia, man.” But after topping the charts for eight weeks with “drivers license,” it looks like Rodrigo is rearing into the rock lane, giving us the teenage angst and pop-punk petulance we deserve with the fiery “good 4 u” and impressive live performances. All this calling out and s-, it’s like, music is a creative thing, and I just hate to see it crushed.Olivia Rodrigo’s debut album Sour comes out on May 21, and by now, you certainly know that the 18-year-old singer-songwriter counts the queen of vulnerable lovelorn melodies, Taylor Swift, as one of her most prominent influences. I do think that we probably meet this with a little more compassion and understanding. the gray area has reared its ugly head these days. 'Sometimes it’s not warranted that people take legal action, and. ‘It’s a natural thing for it to happen, and sometimes it gets ugly, and sometimes it’s warranted that people take legal action,' Adam continued. To be clear, Olivia has not been sued by any artists for plagiarism to date. ‘Look, these are tricky things, and anyone who’s ever written a song knows that sometimes you rip something off inadvertently, and it makes it to tape, and then it gets released, and then there’s a lawsuit. ‘There’s all this drama about Olivia Rodrigo,’ he told fans. The same reasoning has since been shared by singer Adam Levine, who rushed to Olivia’s defence this week on Instagram. It’s how rock and roll works.’Īs reference, he hash-tagged Bob Dylan's 1965 classic Subterranean Homesick Blues, which inspired Pump It Up, and Chuck Berry's 1956 single Too Much Monkey Business, which influenced Dylan’s hit. When one Twitter user said it was ‘pretty much a direct lift’, Costello replied saying ‘This is fine by me, Billy. ![]() If you’ve ever listened to his 1978 hit Pump It Up, you’ll notice the same guitar riff in Olivia’s song Brutal. ![]() Neither is there with Elvis Costello, who is the final artist Olivia was accused of plagiarising from. ![]() Of course, given Taylor approved the songs herself and is one of Olivia’s biggest public supporters, it’s clear there’s no bad blood between the two… pun intended. I was lucky enough to get that approved, and it’s on the record now.’ I was in the car on a road trip, and when I got home, I decided to sing it over the chords of “New Year’s Day.” I think they’re really beautiful chords. ‘I came up with the “1 Step Forward” concept and I sort of wrote a verse and a chorus. ‘We interpolated “New Year’s Day,” which is Taylor’s song from Reputation,’ Olivia told The Zach Sang Show. Rather than sampling the original song, interloping involves re-recording the music in a similar manner. Interloping is when an artist chooses to insert an existing piece into something else. Taylor Swift was also credited twice on Olivia’s album on songs Déjà vu - which Olivia says was inspired by Taylor's Cruel Summer – and 1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back, which interlopes the chords used in Swift’s New Year’s Day (yes, that’s where you’ve heard that riff before). ![]()
