Taylor Swift is often referred to as the queen of pop music, but with the recent release of her eighth studio album, "folklore," she has proven that she is not afraid to experiment with different sounds and genres. The album, consisting of 16 songs, was a surprise release in July 2020 and was met with critical acclaim from fans and music critics alike.
One of the most striking things about "folklore" is the departure from Swift's usual upbeat, pop-infused sound. Instead, listeners are treated to a more stripped-down and introspective collection of songs. The album is filled with stories and characters that Swift has created, with each song offering a unique perspective and emotion. The first track on the album, "the 1," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its melancholic lyrics and mellow instrumentals. "cardigan" is another standout track, with its haunting melody and emotional lyrics about lost love and nostalgia.
Other notable songs on the album include "august," "the last great American dynasty," and "my tears ricochet." One of the most impressive things about "folklore" is Swift's skill as a songwriter. She has always been known for her ability to write catchy hooks and lyrics that stick in your head, but with this album, she has elevated her songwriting to a whole new level. The lyrics are evocative and poetic, with each song telling a story that draws the listener in.
In addition to her songwriting, Swift's vocals on "folklore" are some of her best. She shows off her range on tracks like "exile," a duet with Bon Iver, and "mirrorball," a dreamy, hypnotic song that showcases her softer side. Overall, "folklore" is a stunning achievement for Taylor Swift and is a testament to her growth as a musician and songwriter.
