The festival news comes on the heels of Rodrigo releasing her third studio album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, which arrived on June 12. “This could well be the giddiest we’ve ever heard Rodrigo,” Rolling Stone wrote in a review of the album. “Rodrigo has always proudly displayed her references, drawing from Nineties rock and riot grrrl bands like Hole and Babes in Toyland on past collections, but here, she’s doing more than paying homage; she’s woven a sonic tapestry that any of her icons can fit into. Fans craving more aggressive, pop-punk energy might have trouble getting into the new sound at first, but Smith’s appearance is a testament to just how well it works.”
The album debuted at Number One, scoring the musician her third album at the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart. The album’s flagship single, “Drop Dead,” went to Number One on the Billboard Hot 100, as did its follow-up, “The Cure.” In September, Rodrigo will head out on the Unraveled Tour in support of You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love.
