Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Sour’ tops Rolling Stone’s 50 best albums of 2021

Olivia Rodrigo’s debut album “Sour” leads Rolling Stone’s list of 50 best albums of 2021.

The music magazine, which published the list Dec. 3, said the singer’s “Driver’s License,” released first week of 2021, was “a terrifyingly perfect heartbreak ballad.”

“With ‘Sour,’ Olivia dropped a greatest-hits album on her first try, the kind of flawless megapop monster that just thrives in heavy rotation,” said Rolling Stone.

It also paid tribute to “Good 4 U” for its “nineties mall-punk rage” and said “‘Déjà vu’ revs up Clash guitars and Phil Collins drums into a hit about Gen-Z lovers fighting over who liked Billy Joel first.”

The Filipino-American singer had a stellar 2021, dominating Billboard’s yearend charts and receiving 7 Grammy Awards nominations. – RC, GMA News
