“Vampire” is an emotional and lighthearted song that deals with the theme of celebrity and its side effects. This single precedes the release of the young American artist’s new album “Guts”, which is due on September 8.
Being a talented, successful young man of twenty and having so many eyes on you can mean many things, on the one hand it is an exhilarating challenge, on the other it is heavy conditioning.
Some time ago in an interview Olivia Rodrigo admitted that when she composes there is a strong emotional part in them but when they are filmed with her cell phone it is often better: the passion for films, the artist’s Self-centeredness as well. Fear of the judgment of others are two recurring elements in this confusing time.
Olivia commented, “I remember not being able to sit down at the piano without thinking what other people would think,” however, adding that “it’s a terrible way to think” and “it’s all I have to do” as an artist. As in, it’s making music that I want to hear on the radio and add to my playlist if I find it. Once I started to really believe in it, things got a lot easier and creativity started to flow.
“Vampire” is a song that someone has already classified into the “revenge song” category (as Shakira and Miley Cyrus have already done) but it doesn’t deserve comparison or comparison, the simple fact that Everyone who wants a bit of that must feel in the music.
There is also one of the hypotheses that also brings forward colleague Taylor Swift, for a story related to the rights to some songs that Olivia may have written without being included in the credits, but not everything has been officially confirmed.
Co-written with longtime collaborator Daniel Nigro, “Vampire” describes the anger she felt towards an ex (from the entertainment world) who took advantage of her and her notoriety for personal interests, a true “hunger-sucker”. gonna”. Hence the idea of using the metaphor of the vampire who leaves his mark after drinking the blood of his victim.
It is worth emphasizing the structure of the piece which begins softly, piano and voice, but in which it has extreme development, a feature which is increasingly rare today, given the average level of public attention and the average duration of the pieces. Happened.
Out September 8, comes “Guts,” her second career album and first as a New Yorker after adoption. Olivia finds the city very stimulating, fun, a place where you experience things in a very natural way. Get where you can be alone but not feel like you are.
Growing up also means diving into a new dimension, aiming to be the best version of yourself.
