“Waiting for the telephone to ring / And I’m wondering where she’s been / And I’m crying for yesterday / And the tap drips / Drip, drip, drip, drip”Such were the joyless ramblings of Robert Smith, the frontman and vocalist of legendary post-punk band The Cure. These lyrics are from the opening song called ‘10:15 Saturday Night’, on their debut 1979 album, Three Imaginary Boys. While the subject of these lyrics is up for interpretation, this same frustration — the persistent wait for excitement amidst fading youth, trying to find it in a lover, the fatal boredom — is captured in its full spectrum on pop spectacle Olivia Rodrigo’s latest outing, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love.Smith, 67, makes an appearance on the song, ‘what’s wrong with me’, and fits right into the meticulously pieced-together narrative of Rodrigo’s third studio album. The concept album follows a young woman experiencing a long-term relationship for the first time, feeling neck deep in love with her partner, to the point of malfunctioning when he is not with her. The first seven tracks, starting with the smash lead single, ‘drop dead’, form the “girl so in love” section of the record. They chart new emotional territory for Rodrigo, whose thunderous musical debut was ignited by ‘drivers license’, a piano-driven ballad about a 17-year-old missing an ex-lover through life’s milestones. Her first song ever went straight to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 charts on the first week it dropped.
