SWIFTIES LISTEN UP!
Hi Guys,
FINALLY THE WAIT IS OVER!! WE HAVE IT! It, of course, is Taylor Swift's new album 1989. It's strange to think the last time Tay released new music was when I was on my way to China (just over 2 years ago!!), but now it's here I couldn't be happier.
Flashback to Taylor's live-stream at the end of summer, in which she announced the title of her new album and premièred it's first single 'Shake it off'. As I sat there with 3 of my best friends (and fellow swifties!), I felt a pang of guilt from the fact that shake it off did not strike me as an incredible song. Through out the years I have always been fascinated by Taylor's ability to create and produce music that is both catchy and insanely well written, but this new style did not feel the same. At first I was reluctant to buy the album, but how could I resist my favourite cat loving, cookie baking idol?
I do not regret it one bit! The album is incredible and completely captivating. The range of styles, tones and moods throughout keeps the listener engaged in this ever changing album. From the upbeat rhythms of 'Blank Space', 'All You Had To Do Was Stay' and 'Wonderland' to the emotions of 'You Are In Love', this album has twists round every corner. The thing that stands out the most for me in this album is the tempo changes within each song, the way you can be emotionally screaming at the top of your lungs to dancing crazy around the room, I love it!! My favourite song though has to be new romantics, it completely sums up me, my friends, and my life, and it is sooooo well written!!
Sorry this is such a short review, and sorry I suck at posting!!
Speak soon,
Lois Mae
