Olivia Rodrigo has announced that her new album, 'You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love,' will be released on June 12 via Geffen Records. The singer revealed the news on Instagram, sharing the album cover and opening up about the creative process behind the record.

Why it matters

Rodrigo's debut album 'Sour' was a massive critical and commercial success, establishing her as one of the biggest pop stars of her generation. This new album will be closely watched by the music industry and her legions of fans, who are eager to see how she evolves her sound and songwriting on her third full-length release.

The details

Rodrigo recorded the album with producer Dan Nigro, with whom she worked on her first two albums 'Sour' and 'Guts.' Little is known about the album itself other than what she's teased over the past month or so, with fans noticing changes in color on the background of her website and her 'OR' logo, an aesthetic that also appeared on a mural in Los Angeles and a lock found in London with the word 'April' inside. In an interview with British Vogue last month, Rodrigo touched on the process for the new record, explaining that it was a 'creative challenge to write from a joyful place' and that the tracks are 'sad love songs' with a 'tinge of fear or yearning'.
