Red, Swift’s new Master Piece: Compilation of Break-up Songs
SCORE: 85
Finally, the much-awaited album of Swifties has just released yesterday, October 22, 2012. but is it worth the wait?
Taylor’s new album drew a lot of speculation of stepping out of the style sooner or later she established a few years later and try something new to prolong her colorful life as a singer.
her fourth new album has the genre of country music with the touch of Pop-rock. it is obvious in its first track, State of Grace, the Arena rock song which has the U2 and the Cranberries influenced. Swift did put strong lines in chorus such as “This is the state of grace/this is the worth while fight/Love is a ruthless game/unless you play it good and right”.
while, Treacherous has the sexiest and smoothest melody in the album which is one of the highlights of RED.
Swift, has collaborated with various Folk-rock artists (this is after writing the song Safe and Sound with The Civil Wars) such as Ed Sheeran- “everything has Changed”, this song will receive a musical praise for Ed and Swift for they had made a great piece. next, is “The Last Time” with Gary Lightbody’s voice, another two points for the album.
Max Martin and Shelback also Co-wrote with three songs of the album,such as : “We are Never Ever Getting Back Together” which made to the top of Billboard for weeks, and compared her to Avril Lavigne’s way of singing, “I Knew You Were Trouble” the dubstep song that Made to no. 3 in Billboard and the song “22”. points for the album.
Swift and Liz rose- the one who co-wrote the grammy winning and nominating pieces- You Belong with Me and White Horse, reunited with the song “All too Well.
she also wrote song with Dan Wilson with Treacherous.. and the rest of the songs were written by Taylor.
Over-all, though Swift is just steps away her original genre, we’re pretty sure that this album is another award-winning piece of taylor. though, It is most of heartbreak songs..
