Olivia Rodrigo makes a bold political statement with new single ‘Serena Joy’ — a cautionary tale named after ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ character who ultimately comes to regret her complicity in a repressive patriarchy. With proceeds from the song partially funding Daisy Chain Fields, the charitable music festival she founded to support a range of good causes, Ben and Mikey ask: is this one of the best examples of a pop star using their platform to express their political views?
Elsewhere, the boys are pleasantly surprised by new releases from Carly Rae Jepsen and Girls Aloud, while also diving into an unexpected career-spanning retrospective with Taylor Swift, presented by the Grammys.
