Olivia Rodrigo Unveils New Single 'the cure' Ahead of Highly Anticipated Third Album
Olivia Rodrigo is back! Check out her new single 'the cure' and get all the details on her upcoming album and record-breaking world tour here.
Pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo is officially entering her next era with the release of her latest single, "the cure." The track is the second offering from her highly anticipated third studio album, titled "you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love," which is set to drop on June 12 via Geffen Records. Following the massive success of her previous hit "drop dead," which debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, fans have been eagerly waiting to see what the Grammy winner would do next.
The new single comes accompanied by a visually striking music video directed by Cat Solen and Jaime Gerin. In the clip, Rodrigo navigates a sterile, handmade cardboard hospital as she searches for an antidote to a broken heart. It’s a creative and emotional journey that Olivia herself calls one of her favorite songs she has ever made. Interestingly, while the song shares a name with the iconic rock band The Cure, Olivia clarified there is no musical connection, though she did reveal a surprising friendship with Robert Smith, mentioning that they talk nearly every week.
Olivia’s recent chart achievements are nothing short of legendary. With "drop dead" hitting the top spot, she became the first artist in history to have the lead singles from her first three albums debut at number one. This momentum is carrying over to her upcoming "The Unraveled Tour," which kicks off this September. The demand has been so overwhelming that ticket sales have already surpassed one million globally, leading to massive performance residencies.
Fans in major cities can expect a marathon of performances. Olivia is set for a 10-night residency at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and another 10 nights at Los Angeles’ Intuit Dome. Over in London, she’s taking over the O2 Arena for 11 nights, joining the ranks of legends like Prince and the Spice Girls who have reached double-digit residencies at the venue. With her debut album SOUR and sophomore hit GUTS already cemented as modern classics, all eyes are on June 12 to see how her third chapter unfolds.
