Olivia Rodrigo ‘Guts (Spilled)’ Digital Deluxe Edition Coming, With Brand New Song Joining Vinyl Rarities

Olivia Rodrigo followers who needed to personal all of her “Guts” bonus tracks till now needed to develop an costly Discogs behavior, since copies of the very restricted vinyl editions that included them have commanded collectors’ costs, and the songs weren’t put up for streaming. But these further tracks will lastly be made out there in a extra widespread approach with this Friday’s launch of “Guts (Spilled),” a deluxe version that places the 4 beforehand vinyl-only tracks up for digital consumption — whereas throwing in a fifth, brand-new bonus monitor in addition.

The never-before-heard quantity being launched Friday is “So American,” stated to have been recorded subsequent to the discharge of “Guts” final September.

The 4 songs beforehand out there solely on vinyl editions are “Obsessed,” “Girl I’ve Always Been,” “Scared of My Guitar” and “Stranger.”

The final three of these songs have been in a extra acoustic vein, which could clarify why they have been nixed for the ultimate lower of the largely rocking “Guts” album. But “Obsessed” definitely is of a chunk with the file’s extra uptempo tracks, and it was the one bonus monitor to make the setlist for Rodrigo’s present tour. Now the monitor — which she cowrote with Dan Nigro and Annie Clark, aka St. Vincent — has been introduced as her new radio single, as nicely.

“Obsessed” is the one one of many beforehand launched 4 that had been broadly out there commercially on vinyl, as the key monitor on the usual black LP version and several other different variants. “Girl I’ve Always Been,” “Scared of My Guitar” and “Stranger,” in the meantime, have been solely discovered initially as unlisted bonuses on colour variants that had been bought by means of the singer’s webstore. Eventually, all 4 tracks have been collected collectively on a single-sided vinyl EP, “Gut: The Secret Tracks,” that was launched completely for Record Store Day Black Friday final November. That EP was solely pressed in a reported amount of seven,500, and resale copies of that launch have bought for a median worth of $108 on Discogs.

“Guts (Spilled)” seems to be to be a digital-only launch, for now, with no CD or vinyl version introduced, though Variety has reached out to ask if any bodily launch may be within the playing cards.

When the “Guts: The Secret Tracks” EP got here out on Black Friday for RSD, Variety wrote, “All 4 are sturdy sufficient — B+ tracks at worst, and that’s a conservative evaluation — that they’d have been worthy inclusions on the primary monitor listing. ‘Obsessed’ is the banger of the 4 (and in addition, conveniently, the one which was already tagged onto the overwhelming majority of LP variations, so it’s no obscurity at this level). But there’s as a lot to be stated for the pungency of the acoustically based mostly different three: ‘Scared of My Guitar’ (as a result of ‘I can’t deceive it the identical approach that I deceive you’), ‘Stranger’ (‘I’ll love you ‘til the top of time / You are the perfect factor that I’ll maintain to date out of my life’) and a extra playful kiss-off, ‘Girl I’ve Always Been,’ that implies Rodrigo may need a rustic file in her. It’s arduous to think about that she gained’t in the end discover some extra accessible approach of issuing these tracks to a wider public, like a digital launch. But for this weekend, let the starvation video games to acquire a duplicate start.”
