Now that’s how Taylor said hello to Joe but more politely😂

[my-life-as-told-by-taylor-swift]

Taylor Swift has been my favorite artist for 10+ years. However, I think I took for granted how strong a relationship I have with someone I’ve never met until I finally was able to see her live. I went to a non-Taylor concert yesterday and I realized the striking contrast. They were on stage singing because it was their job. They thanked the fans for showing up, not for being their friends. I didn’t feel a connection to them once at a small venue like I did with Taylor in a stadium. So basically what I am trying to say is...

@taylorswift thank you making a stadium tour feel like a personal experience. Thank you truly loving your fans. I mean, you sing to us every night. Literally to us. Your love for your fans shines as radiantly as your sparkly dresses and sequined bodysuits. You are one of a kind and I am proud to be a Swifitie.

Everyone is ordering all 4...... i didn’t know what to do.... 😅 my fiancée said “get the 3rd Version...... I’m feelin’ it!!!” so I pre-ordered the 3rd version and it’s set to arrive the day of the album release!!!! I can’t express my excitement. I have loved you since I was in 6th grade, which was over 10 years ago, and my stepsister and i bonded over you and repeated “Fearless” over and over until Hey Stephen skipped so much we memorized the skippings 😂😂😂 and finally last year my dream came true and I saw you live in Philadelphia on your Reputation Tour! I brought my fiancée and now he loves you too, and I can’t wait to see you again. I wish all the best for you Taylor!!!! I created a Tumblr so I could keep up with you 🤗💜❤️ #13 #swiftie4lyfe

Reputation

Looking through magazine: I don’t know about these lyrics. I miss the old Taylor. This one is so different. I was actually scared to listen to the CD.

First listen: Ummm....I used to love the thought of being able to share my love of Taylor with my daughters someday. They are never listening to this album.

Listen to the SiriusXM and iHeart specials: Hmm...I like New Year’s Day a lot more now. Some of the other songs make more sense too. Maybe I should listen again...

Second listen: This is really catchy...I already know a bunch of the lyrics by heart. Maybe it’s not so bad. She is an adult after all.

Third listen: Ok, I like it. It’s going to be on repeat for the next week/month/year. Sign me up to attend a concert. I’m not turning in my Swiftie card after all. I still love Taylor. I’ll always love Taylor.

YOU ALREADY KNOW SHE NAMED HER JAM ROSES CUZ SHES A SWIFTIE4LYFE.

New Music Friday

A weekly review of all the newly released singles and albums that have made an impression on moi/broken my heart into a million pieces (you may never know which). 

There was literally so much new music out this week, my poor little heart couldn’t handle it. 

SINGLES

“Call It What You Want To” - Taylor Swift

Impressions: Oh Taylor. I really should unfollow you on social media. Every time I see those three posts in a row, I have a heart attack. I was SO not ready for a FOURTH single prior to reputation. We fans are truly #blessed. The music in this single is amazing. After three bold tracks, it’s nice slow it down a little bit, while still maintaining the backbeats so popular in today’s pop music. It’s the calm before the storm - with her album releasing in seven days, she’s giving fans some much needed R&R after the overwhelming “Look What You Made Me Do”, “…Ready for It”, and “Gorgeous”. I am a huge Taylor fan. Don’t get me wrong. There are just a few lyrics in this song that feel a bit awkward to me (see “I’m the one he’s walking to” and “I want to wear his initial on a chain round my neck, chain round my neck. Not because he owns me but ‘cause he really knows me”). The rest of the song is so lyrically strong, but these bits just really feel off to me. I love the concept (I am a huge fan of bebe Joe Alwyn for making T feel so incredible), and the music is just so wonderfully produced. I don’t think I can handle the next seven days while waiting for reputation.

Best lyric: “All my flowers grew back as thorns. Windows boarded up after the storm. He built a fire just to keep me warm. All the drama queens taking swings. All the jokers dressin’ up as kings. They fade to nothing when I look at him.”

“Like Gold” - Vance Joy

Impressions: A new Vance Joy song???? This one took me by total surprise. I had become convinced that the Australian had fallen completely off the map, but here we are, with a new single. “Riptide” took the world by storm 2013, and I feel like Vance Joy was really taking some time to recover, especially after a whirlwind tour with Taylor Swift. He returned with “Lay It On Me” in June, but I think “Like Gold” is the real return for him. Vance has some great lyricism in “Like Gold”, and the chorus shows some super fun word play. All in all, it’s very reminiscent of the calm vibes we received from Dream Your Life Away, and I’m super excited to see what’s in store from Vance Joy’s second album.

Best lyrics: “Gold, when you see me. Hi, if you need me. Babe, that’s the way it was, that’s the history. Blue, how we used to roar, like an open fire. That’s the way it was. But that’s history”

“The Way Life Goes” - Lil Uzi Vert, Nicki Minaj

Impressions: NICKI I MISS YOU. I can’t really call myself a Lil Uzi Vert fan, tbh. However, I really like this song. I don’t know if I like it because I’m an Oh Wonder fan, and Lil Uzi borrowed Oh Wonder’s intro from their single “Landslide” for his chorus. But if Nicki’s on the track, I am always down to listen to it. Her rap is a more low-key than normal (although she still manages to bring in some choice curse words, gotta love her for it), but her rap mirrors Lil Uzi’s well, and with the techno vibes brought in from Oh Wonder, it’s a great, relatable piece that would be great to drink wine… or smoke some weed to… You know, if you were into that kind of thing.

Best lyrics: Literally anything Nicki says.

ALBUMS

The Thrill of it All - Sam Smith

Impressions: GOSPEL SAM SMITH IS THE HERO I DIDN’T KNOW I NEEDED THIS NOVEMBER. This is an album that holistically is beautiful, although individual songs do tend to run together. Sam sings a lot about ending relationships and smoking cigarettes. Seriously, someone get this guy a light, he seems to really be jonesing for one. I had extremely high expectations for this album after Sam’s three singles shattered my heart into more pieces with each release. “Burning”, the last single, set my heart on fire, to smolder until the rest of the album came out. Sam’s voice is so beautiful, and there’s no denying the passion and vulnerability in his lyrics; even though he claims only four of the songs are about his personal experience, he makes it seem as if each one makes up the fabric of his life, and that shows the power behind his voice. My only complaint is just the similarities in the musicality of the tracks. He does have a bit of experimentation, breaking out from his typical strings + piano duo with some powerful drum and bass combinations (see “One Last Song”, “Midnight Train”, and “Baby You Make Me Crazy”), but all in all he maintains his proven vibes. And there’s nothing wrong with that! Use what works, am I right? Sam also brings in the gospel in more than one song, and touches on religious content, which I find bold and distinctive. All in all, an impressive sophomore album by the British crooner.

Stand out tracks: “HIM”, “Nothing Left For You”, “Baby You Make Me Crazy”

Red Pill Blues - Maroon 5

Impressions: This album is full of collaborations, and that’s what really makes it unique. This album is fresh. It manages to maintain the Maroon 5 vibe while still introducing new talent to the mix. I feel like Maroon 5 have been releasing singles for this album for forever, and yet the album still feels extremely new. “Don’t Wanna Know” came out over a year ago, and yet still manages to fit into the flow of the album, which just goes to show how well Maroon 5 focuses on balance in their album. They’re kings of the act - they balance brave collaborations with solely Maroon 5 projects, they balance R&B with pop-rock, they balance Adam Levine’s beautiful vocals with… well, with nothing, because he deserves to stand out on his own. I like Red Pill Blues more than their last album, but alas, nothing will ever top Overexposed.

Stand out tracks: “Wait”, “Who I Am”, “Denim Jacket”

Unapologetically - Kelsea Ballerini

Impressions: I didn’t even know this album was coming out today. But I saw someone’s retweet about Kelsea’s Unapologetically and decided to queue it up during my work day. Damn, am I glad I did. Out of all the new albums that came out today, this one took me the most by surprise, and it ended up being my favorite release of the day. I haven’t stopped listening to it. Kelsea lets listeners into her world, introducing them to her past, present and future with extremely relatable lyrics and poppy country vibes. This album reminds me of early Taylor Swift, but manages to maintain a maturity that makes it extremely relevant for millennials. It also bridges the gap between country and pop, a hard bridge to cross for many artists. Kelsea stays true to her country roots, but manages to incorporate many pop elements (see “Roses) that can draw in more mainstream listeners. Her honesty is one of the most striking things about the album. Artists have always relied on their personal experiences to make music, but Kelsea owns past mistakes in a way that is rare. Kelsea discusses breakups, past loves, and self reflection in new, bold ways (see “I Hate Love Songs”, “In Between” and “High School” that make her second album a unique treasure that I will probably listen to on repeat until at least 2018.

Stand out tracks: “Roses”, “I Hate Love Songs”, “Get over Yourself”
