Olivia Rodrigo and Dan Nigro Dive Deep on ‘Sour’s’ Songwriting and Production Process
“Going into the studio and being like, ‘What do I actually want this to sound like?’ and ‘What does big production sound like, is that my thing?’ was a learning curve and a little bit of a challenge at first,” Rodrigo, who is one of the cover stars of our Young Hollywood issue, tells Variety.
Luckily, Rodrigo had the production expertise of Dan Nigro, the former frontman of indie band As Tall as Lions who has worked with Conan Gray, Carly Rae Jepsen and others. Introduced through Rodrigo’s publisher and A&R team at Interscope Geffen A&M, the two met just one week before the COVID-19 lockdown began in March 2020. Nigro had watched an Instagram video of Rodrigo playing her song “Happier” and “was blown away,” he says.
“I remember getting the chills when she sang the line ‘I hope you’re happy, but don’t be happier,’” Nigro recalls in an email. “There was this beautiful intensity in her voice that I fell in love with immediately.” – Source
Joshua Bassett shades ex-girlfriend Olivia Rodrigo in savage new songs
Talk about a young lover scorned: Joshua Bassett is calling out his ex-girlfriend Olivia Rodrigo for “messing with my life as a career move.”
Bassett appears to shade Rodrigo in a series of savage new songs — more than a year after their bitter breakup.
The couple met on the set of “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series” back in 2019, and although they never explicitly confirmed their relationship, they didn’t deny widely held speculation that they were an item.
In January of this year, however, fans theorized that Bassett had brutally dumped Rodrigo for another woman after she released her breakup anthem, “Drivers License.”
Teens turned on Bassett, believing he has broken Rodrigo’s heart — but the young star is now hitting back in his own new songs, attempting to correct the record.
“If you get to tell your truth / Then so do / And it’s cool if you want me to play the bad guy,” Bassett sings on the track “Crisis” — one of his three songs released Thursday.
The lyrics continue: “Half the s – – t you’re saying’s only half true / Messing with my life as a career move / I can’t help but wonder why you won’t make it end.
“I wish that I could open my eyes and the nightmare be over/ But you sensationalize, keep fanning the fire for the headlines.”
In the second single, titled “Secret,” Bassett appears to take another swipe at Rodrigo, with the lyrics: “I really hope you had your fun / Good for you foolin’ everyone / You had me tricked for 16 months.”
Similarly, the third single, “Set Me Free,” features savage lines such as: “I don’t recognize you not anymore / You’re not the love that I fell for.” – Source
