The single is OK I guess. But one thing for sure I don't wanna be caught listening to it by my friends. Haven't said this regarding a Taylor song before :(

well "we are never" was hyper-pop but it still sounded like her
yeah WANEGBT sounded like knowing self-parody (well, initially it just sounded like self-parody i guess). "shake it off" sounds like anyfuckingone else.
also even one or two more shiny ~pop joints on red would have completely sunk it, and there were only like 3 in the first place. doesn't look like that ratio will be true of 1989 :/

"22" kinda underperformed, so i'm a little surprised/intrigued that she's doubling down on letting her young fans know she's older than them

share j0rd's misgivings about the cheap sound of the beat, max martin's got a very narrow "horn" synth preset

feel like late '80s/early '90s pop had its fake synth horns more kaleidoscopically arranged at least
can only think of "every heartbeat" at the moment though
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Monday, 18 August 2014 22:45 (nine years ago) link
hope a song on this sounds like "every heartbeat"

With Playing Possum, Simon has largely abandoned plaintive balladeering for a blunt style that means to be aggressively sexy. Aggressive it is — and characteristically ingratiating — but not particularly sexy except on one song, "Attitude Dancing." Easily the most exciting Carly Simon cut since "You're So Vain," "Attitude Dancing" boasts nifty nonsense lyrics by Jacob Brackman and one of Richard Perry's tour de force productions: strutting horns, razorsharp string lines, perfect backup vocals by various luminaries and Jim Gordon's impeccable, essential drumming. Simon's vocal is genuinely sassy; she even lets herself growl a bit.
― da croupier, Monday, 18 August 2014 22:46 (nine years ago) link
Simon's new, bolder stance was probably inevitable — it's certainly welcome — since her previous four albums have defined a slow but steady movement away from the "sensitive singer/songwriter" role toward that of "rock" songstress.

to be real i think taylor's sensibility is extremely visible in the vocal it's just been floated over to different production

On first listen it doesn't irritate me the way "We Are Never" did on first listen -- but "We Are Never" grew on me and (for better/worse) had more identifiably Taylor touches than this does. So I dunno. I do agree with this:
this is the kind of song that requires a killer middle-eight to elevate it from catchy ringtone into something truly POP and holy shit does the rap let it down
... because as I was listening ambivalently I thought, "Well, one of her killer bridges could elevate this," and then there was the opposite of a killer bridge.

Yeah I thought of "Umbrella" as well, though that comparison paints this in a pretty unflattering light.
