It’s been four long years since Olivia Rodrigo released a new album, but the wait for OR3 is over. You Seem Pretty Sad For a Girl So in Love, her third LP, will arrive on June 12 via Geffen Records.

Most notably, the album is not a four-letter title as fans expected, after her 2021 debut, Sour, and 2022’s Guts. In her newsletter, she wrote, “No matter how hard I try to write love songs they always come out laced with a little melancholy. I am so proud of this record and I can’t wait for you to hear it.” It’s available for preorder now.


Like her first two albums, Rodrigo recorded You Seem Pretty Sad For a Girl So in Love with her producer, Dan Nigro. The news arrives after months of Rodrigo teasing new music, most recently a cryptic hotline message that alluded to this year’s pink moon, which occurred on April 2. “Trust your intuition,” the message read. “Expect true clarity and renewal just after the pink moon. Until then, follow the stars, your guides, and your heart, knowing that the best is yet to come.”

Rodrigo recently covered the Magnetic Fields’ “The Book of Love” for HELP(2), a compilation album supporting the charity organization War Child UK, alongside Arctic Monkeys, Cameron Winter, Depeche Mode, Wet Leg, and more.

In December 2025, she released Live at Glastonbury (A BBC Recording), a double LP that encapsulated her incredible year touring the festival circuit. A month later, she celebrated the fifth anniversary of her breakout hit “Drivers License” by dropping a cover of the song, featuring her Governors Ball buddy David Byrne.

Céline Dion has left Paris for Las Vegas after completing the first leg of her long-awaited return to the stage, closing a six-week stay in the French capital that culminated in 16 concerts and an emotional farewell to fans outside her hotel.

The Québec singer departed the Royal Monceau on Monday morning, accompanied by her 15-year-old twin sons, Eddy and Nelson, and her small dog, Madison. According to Le Parisien, Dion left the luxury hotel at approximately 10:45 a.m., shortly after her luggage was transported away in a convoy of multiple vans and trucks. She then headed for Las Vegas, where she resides.

Artists Behind Olivia Rodrigo ‘Expectations’ Music Video Debunk AI Accusations

On Friday, Olivia Rodrigo unveiled a music video for the Chappell Roan-assisted remix of “Expectations,” though some viewers believed AI may have been involved in the video’s creative process. However, one of the art team’s designers and Rodrigo’s official fan account showed behind-the-scenes footage featuring hand-drawn 2D and 3D animations, analog treatments, and seemingly no AI involvement. (A rep for Rodrigo did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone’s request for comment.)

The AI accusations mainly sparked from a scene beginning around the three-minute mark of the video. In it, a series of retro logos and animations of Rodrigo and Roan fly through the frame. Viewers pointed to the inconsistencies on Rodrigo and Roan’s fingers as possible proof of generative-AI usage in the video.

Drake Denies Stealing 'Janice STFU' Chorus

Drake is facing a copyright infringement lawsuit from Grammy-winning songwriter Aviel Calev Hirschfield, who alleges the rapper copied a chorus he recorded and sent to producers in Drake’s circle months before the release of “Janice STFU,” according to TMZ. The complaint was filed October 16 in California federal court and names the Toronto rapper, OVO Sound, UMG Recordings and Universal Music Publishing as defendants.

Hirschfield, who records as GoodbyeCalev, claims he completed his demo around January 25, 2026, and sent it to production duo FnZ and other producers connected to Drake. He says the chorus on “Janice STFU,” released in May on Iceman, matches his recording in lyrics, melody and cadence.

Inside Madonna’s ‘Confessions II’: Producer Stuart Price Goes Deep on One of the Year’s Best Albums

Madonna was as ambitious as she’s ever been in the studio sessions for July 3’s Confessions II, which is saying a lot. For the sequel to 2005’s Confessions on a Dance Floor, she reunited with that album’s producer, Stuart Price, and crafted a relentless DJ set of an album that also includes some of her most emotionally bare songs: a duet with her daughter Lola (“The Test”) and wrenching songs about her late stepmother (“Betrayal”) and her late brother, Christopher Ciccone (“Fragile”). She brings her full pop firepower, too, on songs from the Sabrina Carpenter duet “Bring Your Love” to the Eighties reminiscence of “Danceteria.” It all helped win Madonna Artist of the Year at this year’s VMAs, where she opened the show with a guest-star-packed performance, her first on the awards show in 23 years.
