Taylor Swift - 1989

this is a well written song, the hook is good. i just think the beat is ugly and cheap sounding and a bit too on the nose.

if this sounded like "stay stay stay" i'd be down

girl if you're going to be evoking the year that pop gave us like a prayer and raw like sushi and rhythm nation 1814 and hats you gotta come a bit harder than ryan bloody tedder

Haha

if your last name is "Antonoff" you should probably go by "John"

Taylor Swift recording a Daisy Age album

The way she describes her inspiration I'd expect this to sound like HAIM, but there is no way. Be cool if it sounded like Paula Abdul, though.

She should collabo with Stephen Bray.

a taylor swift / fred schneider duet would actually rule

If she had a huskier voice I'd suggest she hook up with Patrick Leonard.

GUYS

"shake it off" doesn't *not* sound like haim

i'm kind of hoping it's a bunch of songs that sound like "ain't it fun"

this thread moved from disgust to the ilm brand of contrarian popist embrace in hyperspeed

YEAH JORDAN

This is going to be her biggest single, no? Smart move! I don't love the song/video but good on her for going straight to the heart of the will-spend-money-on-music-demographic

I'd be down with Swift continuing in this vein. Like, "1955" could be her rockabilly record, "1977" her punk record, "1994" her Disney soundtrack, "1969" her West Coast psychedelic album...

for whatever reason i'm intrigued by taylor + jack antonoff

"2009" brings in the Animal Collective influence...

I've never been intrigued by Jack Antonoff.

for whatever reason i'm intrigued by taylor + jack antonoff

he cowrote "sweeter than fiction" if you'd like to be less intrigued

and ryan tedder created "hold on" by colbie caillat which is the greatest song of all time

IN TAYLOR I TRUST

I'd rather have "1994" be her Tarantino Soundtrack.

people have elevated ryan tedder material before

because if you place the material at ground level, brad, you suffocate

haha

Also I feel like prolego and uberweiss's definition of FUNK is very different from mine.

lol alfred

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 :/

w/e MarkoP you know this is better than peak MJ

the cinematography of this video is gross

"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

as much as i'm down, very much stated that i'm down with the direction of this record itt, i wish nathan chapman were involved

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

you know who else made a wacky video about not being able to dance? genesis

you know who made a better cheerleader cheer? The Jonas Bros.

Irritated this is bad bc i just, this week, learned to love Taylor Swift.

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.

tell me this is on spotify soon, i can't listen to real songs yet

and ryan tedder created "hold on" by colbie caillat which is the greatest song of all time

IN TAYLOR I TRUST

oh nice to meet you, i'm the other guy in the world who likes that song

We need a backlash
