hey, nathan chapman could still have produced track #11 maybe!

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

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.

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.

lex pretend, Monday, 18 August 2014 22:57 (nine years ago) link

so it's long enough

We need a backlash

guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 18 August 2014 22:58 (nine years ago) link

it started off with a backlash!

i'm home now so i can dance with my cats to this as taylor intended

emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Monday, 18 August 2014 23:35 (nine years ago) link

the cats will not comment

guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 18 August 2014 23:36 (nine years ago) link

they're extremely frightened

emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Monday, 18 August 2014 23:36 (nine years ago) link

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

emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Monday, 18 August 2014 23:38 (nine years ago) link

hey

"haters gonna hate" is the most odious expression of the last 40 years so I'm not feeling generous

I see where you're coming from but it is what it is

so the song impacted you then

guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 19 August 2014 00:08 (nine years ago) link

Decided to action that post after listen-hearing the songmusic

Strangely enough the comeback single that this most reminds me of is "Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)"

, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 00:11 (nine years ago) link

I am so excited about

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.

something of an astrological coup (tipsy mothra), Tuesday, 19 August 2014 00:20 (nine years ago) link

have you seen the bridge?

Those gated hi hats (I think that's what they're called) gave me a nice http://i.imgur.com/iHHBUZ1.png scare

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

Tim F, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 00:42 (nine years ago) link

Eh the comparison for me ended after the horn patch started playing

, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 00:46 (nine years ago) link

also: pop stars really don't know what the fuck to do with horn sections besides treat them as rhythm guitars or something

Do agree that she should have taken the message of the song to heart and gone Full Skammunism

Right now imagining Taylor Swift doing the Save Ferris version of Come On Eileen and I am besides myself

, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 01:03 (nine years ago) link

aaah a better chorus and this would have been one of the pop songs for the ages, and i've always considered Swift's forte was big anthemic fun choruses. i was waiting for it and it never really happened, i really want to enjoy this song.
