Los Angeles, June 23 (IANS) Singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo is in the middle of a meaningful pursuit. The singer has shared that she is trying to establish “what type of artist” she wants to be.
The 23-year-old singer has enjoyed a meteoric rise in recent years, but Olivia admits that she’s still learning about herself on a personal and professional level, reports ‘Female First UK’.
The brunette beauty, who released ‘You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love’, her latest album, earlier this month, told Pitchfork, “I’ve had to reckon with exactly what type of artist I want to be, and I think as I get older and my brain gets more developed, it becomes a little clearer, but I just think I’m maybe not that type of artiste”.
She further mentioned, “There’s certain times where I really envy that ability to just be so present in the zeitgeist and make the thing that people want, that is, like, so consumable. There’s such an art to that, and I appreciate that, but I don’t think that I’ve ever been really good at it”.
As per ‘Female First UK’, Olivia insists she doesn’t chase chart success. Instead, the singer wants to make music that she feels “proud” of.
She said, “I try to keep that at the forefront of things, I’d so much rather make a record that told a story that I was really, really proud of that said something that I was dying to get off my chest. But the ultimate goal is to make something you’re proud of, everything else sort of feels hollow if you don’t have that”.
Meanwhile, Olivia recently shared that she feels like she’s the “best version” of herself in London.
