Mid-Week Song

 

Yesterday, singer / songwriter Olivia Rodrigo performed her new single "The Cure" on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge.  It's from her new album, "you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love," scheduled to be released on June 12.  Enjoy. 

Mid-Week Song

 

Talented Filipina-American Olivia Rodrigo has released a new single, the catchy "Drop Dead," off of her upcoming album, "You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love," out June 12.  It's already climbed to #1 on the charts.  She recorded the song in three video versions: one being a lively colorful trip from London to Paris, which is our song choice, and the others a simple, stripped down acoustic version, and a frothy TikTok-style presentation, all well worth viewing.

Weekend Music And Pic Of The Week

 

Eighteen- year- old actress/ songwriter/ pop star Olivia Rodrigo was at the White House on Wednesday to help promote COVID vaccinations for young people (you can see her vax video here).  Rodrigo currently has the number 1 album ("Sour") and boasts 14.6M Instagram and 1.3M Twitter followers, so she has a voice, to say the least.  So, even though the music/ vid doesn't necessarily match our sensibilities, and both the album and single are number 1 on the charts, we decided she deserved a potent Hackwhackers bump anyway.  So, "good 4 u," Olivia!  Hope you enjoy.
