Offering a beautiful twist on ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ by Margaret Atwood, Olivia Rodrigo has come up with a thought-provoking new single titled ‘serena joy’.
The song ‘serena joy’ is co-written and produced by Dan Nigro along with Rodrigo herself, and they have done a great job. It is definitely a vibrant track which comes with a new-wave flavor of pop that includes synths and a groovy tempo with similarities to pop-punk. Olivia’s beautiful voice and the punchy essence in the song make it enjoyable, but one cannot ignore the lyrics that are thought-provoking and greatly impactful. Based on the dangers of female complicity in a society of patriarchal oppression, this song can be considered a beautiful example of using music as a medium of protest.
The lines like “If they do it to them, they’ll do it to you” tell the hypocrisy fearlessly without any metaphorical need. It is straight to the point, powerful, and carries a fair amount of rebellion energy that can channel through listeners. The title of the song is inspired by the antagonist from ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ written by Margaret Atwood, and it perfectly justifies the theme of the track. The song explores the idea of the paradox of people who are good with oppressive systems and also believe that the fact that their power will allow them to escape from the consequences. However, it never happens.
Rodrigo has offered a fair amount of creative and emotional value through ‘serena joy’ and it can be considered a well-written and deftly crafted musical project that is not just a charming pop track but also carries a punk energy that hits hard. Starting from its storytelling, creative influence, to musical arrangement, ‘serena joy’ definitely offers a fair amount of joy to the listeners. Initially, this song was dropped as a hyper-exclusive run with just 500 physical CDs appearing in an Analog Music Shop that is situated in Tustin, California. The social experiment was successful, and it quickly generated a huge amount of buzz among the fans before its digital release took place.
Rodrigo has also performed the song at her inaugural Daisy Chain Fields festival. The initial cause of supporting reproductive rights organizations for women is taking a bigger shape with the popularity of this song. Creating such a track with the bigger cause behind it, Olivia Rodrigo has proved that music can be used for advocacy and support noble causes, which is remarkable from a new-age pop music artist in her initial years. This is not the first time, but Olivia has always been vocally sound about women’s rights inside the industry and also outside of it. And perhaps that is the reason why fans can easily connect with her tracks.
The release of ‘serena joy’ is expanding Rodrigo’s musical journey with not just creativity but more power, resilience, and awareness among the listeners. The song didn’t fit the romantic essence of her latest album ‘you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love’, but this individual release has definitely won more hearts.
