Sworn, Made, & Forged By Fire
Olivia Rodrigo, yes, that girl who made it cool to get your “Driver’s License”, sung about heartbreak leaving us crying on the floor with “Good 4 You”, “Brutal” and “Prom” via her “Sour” album back in 2021 at the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic (aka VAX GIRL for the Biden Administration), announced Sunday that she has new music coming soon, and that it’s so, so, so close to being done, fans so far have rejoiced, and are at the edge of their seats for the next single and album to drop.
Since arriving in early 2021, Olivia has caused quite a stir in the music industry (the one that’s over 100 years old dating back to RCA back in the 1910’s), debuting “Driver’s License” at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Charts, followed by “Good 4 You” “Brutal”, “Prom”, and “Happier” all taking the top 5 from Olivia’s “Sour” album.
Olivia has left an infectious mark on pop culture, as well as possess the most infectious and exceptional beauty only Olivia can have, Olivia quickly became a darling of the world, especially for the music industry, or to better define it, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), where Olivia won 3 Grammy’s in 2022, becoming a poster child of goodwill not only for her striking beauty, but the solidified and profound effect Olivia’s had on teens, a true Gen Z born artist reaching millions like her and more, plus since Olivia is Filipino from her dad’s side, she too is a poster child for raising awareness of AAPI (now also AANHPI) people, a minority that’s been underserved for too long (also celebrated every May being now), and saw increased attack thanks to COVID-19.
Also with COVID-19, 2021 began with millions jumping the line or posing as older ladies to get vaccinated, you had to wait for your turn to be given a vaccine injection, and about 2 weeks after Daniel Plus Lauren got vaccinated (thanks to DPL being a press platform), Johnson & Johnson vaccines were contaminated, vaccine appointments and walk-ins dropped precipitously, especially amongst younger generations, Olivia was recruited by the Biden Administration to use her power on the young to send a much-needed message to the young people, get vaccinated, stop spreading COVID-19, it’s cool to live!!!
For the ole music industry, Olivia Rodrigo was a breath of fresh air, a much-needed injection of life, as the music industry continued to come under fire after much well-publicized controversies, and long-standing cries for the music industry to catch up to all platforms of revenue in the streaming age, as well as be very aware of Artist rights, Olivia was ponied in places such as “Austin City Limits”, the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, and announced the 2023 Grammy Nominees; the RIAA in collaboration for the music industry (the former) were so adamant about Olivia being their new breath of fresh air, that Daniel Plus Lauren sensed that everybody had to fall in line in little and big ways for this new direction to be realized; Olivia was an ambassador not only of good will (also calling for gun control at on her concerts soon after the Uvalde Elementary School shooting happened in Uvalde, Texas a year ago), but an ambassador making a case to those who are leery of the RIAA/ music industry.
The fashion of Olivia Rodrigo is tremendously infectious, as well as provocative since Olivia loves pushing the envelope like last August here in New York City as Olivia wore a satin night gown out after seeing a concert in Bowery, proving that lingerie is outerwear, Daniel Plus Lauren took up Olivia’s satin dream on Halloween as they wore wig like OR, and Satin Dress from ASOS, all while the Halloween Parade marched up New York’s 6th Avenue in lower Manhattan.
Miss Olivia herself says she’s a fiery pieces, that rings so true because Olivia’s talent is so tremendous, from singing, to songwriting, and acting, it ranges on so many levels, the term fiery pieces also has a dark meaning as Daniel Plus Lauren remembers it, her date of birth, February 20, 2003, was no doubt a dark night in music, it was the night that the Station Nightclub went up in flames, within minutes, over 100 people were dead, due to the owners using flammable sound proofing foam that was really packaging foam, plus pyrotechnics set off by the band, “The Great White”.
Olivia could no doubt be a phoenix that rose from the ashes, ashes from one of the many souls that tragically died that cold February night in Warwick, Rhode Island.
