Taylor Swift's '1989'

Decent Essays

Taylor Swift surprised all her public with her recent album "1989" that was release on October 24,2014.. Not a lot of musical artist would dare to reinvent their sound so drastically. Taylor Swift's new album "1989" was made in a very different way apart from the country style Swift has on her past songs. Although she is still singing about relationships and love songs, this album is a definitely the end to her country style.
In this new album "Everybody here was someone else before,” is the first track song in Swift's album which talks about how everyone is someone fake for the moment or they turn into something they were not before. This switch in genres has showed a more mature side of Taylor swift and has made her album specially different …show more content…

It talks about how the drama of Swift’s failed relationship with Harry Styles simmers in the details of the verses before the bombast of the chorus brings the pay-off. A brilliantly crafted track on every level from beginning to end. But not only in that song, Billboard mentions that in an interview "Swift says she has hardly dated since splitting with One Direction's Harry Styles early in 2013, and the songs' musical styles follow the character types she plays on the album: train wreck waiting to happen ("Blank Space"), committed partner ("I Know Places," "This Love"), penitent breaker-upper ("I Wish You Would"), spurned break-upee ("All You Had to Do Was Stay").

Memories of a relationship are recalled on wistfully on “Wildest Dreams” with a heartbeat rhythm, some wispy production and echoing vocals. Almost sounding like a track from Lana Del Rey with its eroticism style. Which is not usually a part of Swift’s vocabulary, but she gets tantalizingly close, here, when she sings “no one has to know what we do, his hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room.” Makes us think about a wilder side of Taylor, something I did not expected from her. Another Antonoff collaboration, which sounds directly influenced by the circling beats and spearing guitars of New Order’s sublime 1989 single is “True Faith.” But Swift’s regretful lyrics aren’t especially engaging, and the song passes largely without incident or interest. The pre-release buzz for “1989” had this pegged as a potential Katy Perry smack down and while there’s definitely beef here, it’s delivered in plastic jerky form instead of prime sirloin. The
