Oliva Rodrigo’s debut album Sour has served as the soundtrack for heartbreak since it’s release. Sour, which broke the global Spotify record for the biggest opening week for an album by a female artist, probes pop punk textures in juxtaposition with poignant ballads.Rodrigo, who wrote 'Sour ' alongside producer Dan Nigro, has been praised with critical acclaim for her lyricism which illustrates an accurate portrait of adolescent female emotions. The album’s striking appeal stems from Rodrigo’s vulnerability as she explores emotions such as anger, jealousy, and unhappiness. However, many critics have overlooked the racial undertones that characterize Sour. Rodrigo, who is of Filapina descent, transgresses traditional representation of Asian Women. Portrayals of Asian women in American media are often subjected to two distinct categories: “Dragon Ladies' ' and “Lotus Blossoms”. The term “Dragon Lady”, first coined by cartoonist Milton Caniff, is the stereoptical portrayal of East Asain Women who are opportunistic sexual beings or predatory gold diggers. In direct contrast, “Lotus Blossoms'' depicts Asian women as shy, virginal, passive, and subservient figures that exist to serve white men. Stereotypes of this type function to sustain the binary image of Asians as the yellow peril or the model minority which sequentially function to exclude Asians from white American Society. However, through Olivo Rodrigo’s autonomous storytelling Sour subverts the stereotypical archetype of the Lotus Blossom that is prevalent in Western narratives. Read more on our website
