At the end of the day, Rodrigo is a very young artist. At 20 years old, she has catapulted herself into the spotlight and made it look effortless. It may just be the workings of the Disney machine behind all of this success, but here’s to hoping that Rodrigo’s third album, whenever we may hear it, taps into something wholly her own.
