Olivia Rodrigo 'Guts'
Rodrigo is releasing her highly-anticipated sophomore album, "Guts" at midnight, Sep. 8, 2023.
Rodrigo has expressed confidence in her upcoming new album. Speaking to The Guardian, Rodrigo had this to say:
"I was so green as to how the music industry worked, the litigious side ... I feel like now I know so much more about the industry and I just feel ... better equipped in that regard. It wasn't something I thought about too much."
Notably, Rodrigo's highly-acclaimed and award-winning debut album, "Sour," has faced legal issues with regard to sampling - she credited Taylor Swift and Hayley Williams after she sampled songs from "Lover," "Reputation" and "Riot!"
