Even though I LOVE a running theme, every album title having four letters in all caps, all lowercase on song titles, and one same defining color is a lot of pressure to follow for the rest of your career, and at some point you'll come to hate it. I'm open and perfectly fine if she branches out a bit, and this pink shade is very cute

My cope: Every day she replaces the word love with what it translates to in different languages before finally landing on Amor

I was thinking this too. I hope not though. There were worse titles but there are way better ones too.

She's in a very good position too this year. She has pretty much no competition because all the major names released either last year or the year before. She can pretty much take the entire year by storm

gag if this turns out true

Olivia teaching this new girls how to do a proper era roll out cause they ain't doing it anymore

So April 3rd is the date. I wish they would confirm if she's dropping the lead single or the album.

I can confirm that for them, there's no chance that she's dropping a brand new album in two weeks without an announcement and weeks-long rollout

Olivia is one of the biggest physical album sellers right now, she's gonna have at least a month and a half for pre-orders with new versions and variants dropping every week

I really hope she dives into the tragedy and fear with being in love A LOT on this album, i know she said it's about joy but she's just so good with expressing the harder feelings

I need her fiona apple / tori amos transformation asap, i've been waiting since sour

Absolutely. Just give me one good grungy 90s piano ballad. 🙏

It's a little confusing because she talked about "sad love songs" in the magazine interview. And obviously that fits the description of the 3 songs mentioned. But in the kitchen thing that was filmed some time later she talks about infusing the album with joy. 🤷🏻‍♀️

And it's kinda funny because (not to dig into her personal life too much) but I think the magazine interview was filmed while she was still in a relationship and the kitchen one was filmed after.

The font reminds me of The Cure's Kiss Me, maybe she's inspired by it given the love theme. We may be seeing an album cover of just lips too? Idk

can someone explain to me what synths are and specific examples in her music where she showcases them?

Love Is Embarrassing for example

Album title guess… Lovesick or love/sick. She said the first message doesn't tell the whole story. But it must be part of it. Maybe the walls will change to green or something and say sick. Lovesick with the slash in the middle kinda fits with 4 letter words still.

my guess would be pink moon

LUCK would have been cuter but I trust her so we'll see.

Olivia Rodrigo, The Cure's Robert Smith Have Been In The...

Olivia Rodrigo and The Cure's Robert Smith have been in the studio together, it seems. The American star is on the cover of the latest issue of British

I wonder if The Cure or Robert Smith will feature on the cover album maybe deja vu.

Usually I understand the vision for her release schedule, but the entire mural painting, for a week, the Sour Line change, the Vogue interview all for the announcement to be… apparently two weeks later? wtf? Why didn't she just do the wall mess now to cut the time gap

I think they probably would've held off another week if it hadn't been for the Vogue magazine interview. They can't ask Vogue to mess up their publishing schedule so they just decided to do the wall ahead so that the interview talking about a new era wouldn't go out first.

Ugh you're probably so right, they had to revolve their promo around the Vogue publication because it teased so much. I hate that nothing has come since Friday though

If there's another announcement this week, it'll likely be on Friday. Everything new so far has happened on a Friday.

Yeah I'm so lost now. I have no idea what their plan is. We had the wall painting for a week, then 'love' everywhere the next day. The voicemail also came out that day. Then nothing at all in the 4 days since.

All we have is the pink moon clue in the voicemail. But surely she's not announcing on that day. It's April Fools. And I can't see her surprise dropping that Friday since it's a holiday weekend. She'd have to announce it in advance. And that's still over a week from now. Guess it's really gonna be radio silence til then. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I just don't know what to expect at this point. Is she going to announce it Thursday and drop it that night? I also wouldn't think all this build up is just for a single announcement. I think she'll announce the album at the same time too. Assuming that's what all this pink/love stuff is related to.

1M views. The roll out and online engagements has been pretty consistent. People are tuning in and engaged

There's a theory on Reddit that the album is called "You Seem Pretty Sad For a Girl So In Love". I'm kind of obsessed and hoping it's true. They have receipts but I'm not bringing them all over here.

I'm not sure how to feel about that album name, it's pretty long. I like the other fan made names like "Amor" better. It fits the love aesthetic she have going on so far

There's no way it's Amor. She has love written on all of the walls. What's she gonna do? Erase it and write the Portuguese translation of love? That would just be silly.
