#TAYLOR SWIFT 1989 FULL ALBUM SONG LIST FREE#

The track opens the record because itвЂ™s a manifesto, not an overture. Fortunately, Taylor Swift is much, much smarter than вЂњWelcome to New YorkвЂќ and a much, much better songwriter. ItвЂ™s easy to imagine Swift releasing an entire album of вЂњWelcome to New YorkвЂ™sвЂќ, utilitarian pop songs with zero personality and hooks that bludgeon you into submission rather than coax you into symbiotic bliss. It offers the paradox of a tuneful, undeniably catchy song that also happens to be completely unlistenable. Opener вЂњWelcome to New YorkвЂќ is an immaculately produced, relentlessly peppy, synth-driven single as uncannily smooth as a hot dog soaking in a pail of cloudy water.

By twisting free of the final touches of genre constraint clinging onto RedвЂ™s moments of twang, Swift sends her nearly unparalleled gift for melody soaring into the stratosphere.ДЎ989 begins with a what-mightвЂ™ve-been glimpse into an second-Earth dystopia worthy of Back to the Future II (1989, natch). True, the only echo of country music present in all of 1989 is the way Swift sings вЂњchanceвЂќ in the stunning вЂњOut of the WoodsвЂќ, but is it really news to music critics that sheвЂ™s had her sights set on world domination? Did вЂњI Knew You Were TroubleвЂќ and вЂњWe Are Never Ever Getting Back TogetherвЂќ only exist in my dreams? It makes your review a bit harder to write, but call 1989 what it is: the final step in a progression that, once completed, feels quietly revolutionary in its own context. The line on 1989, shaped by SwiftвЂ™s pre-album statements and eagerly guzzled by critics, is that it represents SwiftвЂ™s final rejection of her pop-country roots in favor of radio-decimating pure pop hits.

The white steeds of Central Park trail behind her in procession Woody Allen and Lena Dunham and Jerry Seinfeld lead a racially mixed, apolitical group of New Yorkers from every borough except Staten Island in a Rockettes kick-line. A 40-foot Taylor Swift stomps through Manhattan in chelsea boots and a pencil skirt, bodegas and halal carts crumbling under her heels, waving one enormous pinky finger to Jay and BeyoncГ© as they cower in their Tribeca penthouse.
