Bingkai Karya – Today, GRAMMY Award-Winning, multi-platinum singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo announces her third studio album ‘you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love’ via Geffen Records set for release on June 12. She recorded the album with producer Daniel Nigro, who also collaborated with her on both ‘SOUR’, her chart-topping, 6x RIAA Platinum debut album, and ‘GUTS’, her 3x RIAA Platinum sophomore album. 

Rodrigo first began teasing her new album with a purple wall in the center of Los Angeles that subtly transitioned to the color pink over several days, sending fans into a frenzy of speculation. 

With over 36 Million albums sold globally, Rodrigo has received fourteen GRAMMY® Award nominations including nods for Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year for her work on both ‘SOUR’ and ‘GUTS’. She took home awards for Best New Artist, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance at the 64th GRAMMY® Awards. She was named New Artist of the Year at the American Music Awards, Woman of the Year at Billboard’s 2022 Women in Music Awards and Songwriter of the Year at both the ASCAP Pop Music Awards and Variety Hitmakers. She has also received seven Billboard Awards, a Brit, a Juno, and an NME Award while ‘Olivia Rodrigo: driving home 2 u (a SOUR film)’ won Best Music Documentary honors at the 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards. In 2022, she kicked off her first-ever world tour, a sold-out run that took her to upwards of 40 cities across North America and Europe. In 2024, she embarked on her second world tour, GUTS World Tour, which wrapped in the summer of 2025 after 100 sold-out headline shows in 64 cities across more than 21 countries. Rodrigo was named Billboard’s 2024 Touring Artist of the Year after the massive global success of her GUTS World Tour. 

‘SOUR’ entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1 and would go on to become the longest-running debut album in the chart’s top 10 of the 21st century, and the first to spend an entire year in the upper echelon. ‘SOUR’ also entered the charts at No. 1 in the U.K., Canada, Ireland, Norway, Holland, Sweden, Australia, and New Zealand. Upon release, ‘SOUR’ scored the most U.S. audio streams for a female debut album ever and broke the record for the most-streamed album in a week by a female artist on Spotify.

Praised as an “instant classic” by Rolling Stone, ‘GUTS’ debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, coinciding with lead single “vampire” returning to the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and Rodrigo’s No. 1 ranking on the Artist 100, thereby giving her a chart triple. Rodrigo is the first female artist in nearly a decade to debut her first two albums atop the Billboard 200 and the youngest artist in Hot 100 history to debut three hits at No. 1 (“vampire” and SOUR’s “drivers license” and “good 4 u”). GUTS’ remaining 11 tracks charted in the top 40 of the Hot 100. ‘GUTS’ topped the album charts in over 13 countries, including the UK.
