This week Olivia Rodrigo and CMAT have coincided in the media due to their respective complaints about the criticism they receive for their body or the clothes they decide to wear. While Olivia pointed out the comments she received after appearing in a babydoll dress and being accused of “sexualizing” herself with a childish aesthetic, CMAT, in a more humorous tone, claimed to be fed up with the constant criticism of her body, stating: “It’s so boring to me, a wonderful genius.”
Now Olivia and CMAT are united again in some way because Olivia has covered a CMAT song in her presentation at the BBC Live Lounge. The song he has chosen is one of the most classic in sound, ‘When a Good Man Cries’, whose choice is probably not coincidental, taking into account the song’s message about male vulnerability and the difficulty of expressing emotional pain.
On the other hand, Rodrigo has performed his own song, ‘The Cure’, which he presented live for the first time. The song has just given it a top 2 in the United Kingdom and a top 5 in the United States, as well as more modest positions such as a top 24 in Spain. Perhaps it is not, to begin with, Olivia Rodrigo’s most accessible single due to its sound, development and duration, but it may be one of the best.
