For you hopeless romantics: Taylor Swift's new song "Lover" IMHO is darn good

[pRICE cUBE]

There is something about this song I really like. Been stuck in my head for a solid week now.

Not sure what rock u been under, but this is kinda old now... and my teenage daughters have deemed it "horrible".

Even tho TS was one of the best shows they have ever seen.

Maybe they are just too mature now... they are super excited for Lana Del Ray... they are going in a month...

It's not horrible and Lana Del Rey has a nice new album with "Norman F&^%$% Rockwell." Though she needlessly decided to lash out at Ann Powers a music critic that by and large supports her and that everyone respects.

I like TS, but I do not rush out to hear her latest right when it's released.

Thanks for posting.

Probably the rock that all of us who are not teenagers (or in the music business) live under. :wink:

....am a fan of hers [ not obsessive ] but her albums have gotten worse.......but then most artists only have 1 or 2 great albums, then nothing......none of her new songs have that 'unforgettable' aspect but perhaps I haven't listen often enough......

You have to have both of these. This is a great album. The 'red" "RED" has more songs and slower versions of some songs. Check out both versions of "State of Grace" for example. "All Too Well" is just too amazing.




"Speak Now" is the album where she really comes into her own. She doesn't make a bum song so it's easy for people to dismiss her if they don't listen to her catalog. There is an acoustic version of "Haunted" that is a tour de force if you play it loud. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQSO0FWkK5A If you're in love, play "Enchanted." A terrific album.



1989 is her apex. One of the most well put together albums this century.



Her newer albums are not as accessible by design. On her latest she put some candy out with the first single "Me" designed to let the kids know she's not too too grownup. Notice the lyric "Spelling is Fun" isn't on the album version. Even Taylor Swift's throwaway songs are incredibly well written, crafted and sung.
