I’ll admit that I was a bit scared of listening to her music. I thought this girl was another one of them typical overrated pop stars, you know, fitting along the lines of Britney Spears, Lady GaGa, Miley Cyrus, etc. After finally picking up “Fearless” just out of pure curiousity, I was actually blown away by the record. The songwriting on this disc is just unique, original, different, tight, intense, chilling, etc. I can go on. The production of the record was well done. Taylor’s singing is the most maturing singing I’ve heard in a long time.
The music on the album very much reminds me of earlier alternative/pop/rock with the likes of the Pretenders, the Cranberries, Fleetwood Mac, etc. That’s what Taylor Swift reminds me of. Taylor is a rock n’ roll chick who has something going. Old school female rock, the stuff that you hear back in the 70’s and 80’s of female rock n’ roll.
I enjoyed the whole album very much so I don’t really have favorite tracks, I think the entire record overall is my favorite. So before you go thinking she’s just some stupid pop star like I did, give her album a listen, it’ll grow on you. I usually don’t like popular and overhyped music artists, but Taylor Swift is actually one of the really talented ones. I really loved the album. It’s pretty sick. I know why it dominates the Billboard charts because it really is a good album.
Score for Taylor Swift’s “Fearless” = **** (4 stars as in “Excellent”)
