As she enters the music scene of these turbulent 20s, Olivia Rodrigo's star seems increasingly difficult to ignore. From ex-Disney star to modern pop rock icon – new Avril Lavigne, more than someone says – the American singer has transformed her adolescent love troubles and her existential crises into songs which, in the span of two acclaimed albums – “Sour” (2021) and “Guts” (2023) – have made her the symbolic artist of Gen Z, placing her in a narrow musical corridor that has allowed her to earn everyone's respect despite remaining relatively an artist dedicated to making music “for teenagers”.…

It was certainly a consequence of the choice, at the time, to sell the frequencies to survive exclusively online (the writer remembers the disappointment with which a generic “jealous radio” suddenly took the place of the one he always listened to in the car and at home). The fact is that this year too, as in every summer for over twenty years now, the car park of the Euganeo stadium in Padua becomes one…

Riconosciuto come uno dei più grandi album di tutti i tempi, oltre che il primo significativo album doppio della storia del rock – in anticipo di un mese su “Freak Out” di Frank Zappa – “Blonde On Blonde” segna il definitivo passaggio dall’era del 45 giri a…
