Olivia Rodrigo to release 2nd album Guts in September
Olivia Rodrigo will drop her second studio album, 'Guts', on September 8th, and she is "so proud" of the record.
Olivia Rodrigo has confirmed her second studio album will be released on September 8th.
The 20-year-old singer-songwriter will drop 'Guts' later this year, a follow up to her first album 'Sour', which earned her three Grammy Awards and went four-times platinum after it was released in May 2021.
Olivia said in a statement: "For me, this album is about growing pains and trying to figure out who I am at this point in my life.
"I feel like I grew 10 years between the ages of 18 and 20 - it was such an intense period of awkwardness and change.
"I think that’s all just a natural part of growth, and hopefully the album reflects that."
She wrote on Instagram: "my sophomore album GUTS comes out september 8th. i am so proud of this record and I can’t wait to share it with you all! u can presave it now! xoxoxoxo (sic)"
Olivia also thanked her fans for all their "support and enthusiasm" over the past few years.
She wrote on her Instagram Story: "so excited about this new album and this new chapter. i cant thank you guys enough for all of your support and enthusiasm. making this album was very fun, and very fulfilling. i cant wait for it to be yours. here’s to all the good times ahead [black heart emojis] (sic)"
Earlier this month, Olivia confirmed she will return with her first new music since the record-breaking 'Sour', when she drops new single 'Vampire' on June 30.
Olivia recently teased that her second LP is "so close to being done".
Marking the two-year milestone, she wrote on Instagram: "oh man oh man oh man. SOUR turns 2 years old today. no words could ever describe how much this album means to me and how insanely grateful I feel for every blessing it has brought into my life. the new stuff is so so so so so close to being done I pinky promise.
