"You like Taylor Swift? Gee whiz, I'd never have guessed that".
I'm a fifteen year old white kid, of course I like Taylor Swift. When I first discovered that fact, I thought of it as "ironic" listening. Y'know, "I'm listening to Taylor Swift, but not for the same reasons as those other kids", that kind of thing. But at this point I've stopped caring. Yes, this album is mall music, but that just means it's hella catchy and upbeat. Perfect for when you want to listen to some music without having to actually think about what's entering your ears.
The album is called 1989. It's named after the year the artist was born, and is supposed to be inspired by the electropop that was popular around this time. Granted, I've not listened to a whole lot of 80s' electropop, but you can clearly hear a retro thing going on on some of the songs, like "Style" and "Clean", though lots of it is just pretty standard pop music. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though. Because I'd say that, to some degree, I digged every song on the album.
3.5/5
