Olivia Rodrigo has dropped her new song “The Cure,” which longtime collaborator Dan Nigro produced. (No, not that The Cure—though Rodrigo and Robert Smith did sing “Just Like Heaven” together at her Glastonbury set last year.) The song is accompanied by a music video directed by Cat Solen and Jamie Gerin, which casts Rodrigo cast as a midcentury nurse saving hearts—well, attempting to—at a hospital where (spoiler) she ends up a patient herself. Watch it below.
You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love arrives June 12. Petra Collins directed the video for the album’s lead single, “Drop Dead,” which had Rodrigo literally dancing “on the walls of Versailles.” At the beginning of the month, Rodrigo pulled double duty as host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live, where she debuted a still-unreleased song, “Begged,” with an assist from Weyes Blood’s Natalie Mering. Her Unraveled Tour runs from September to May of next year, with support coming from Grace Ives, Wolf Alice, and more.
