RED
Taylor Swift strays from her typical country-pop sound on her new album, “Red.” Although the album is listed as a country album on iTunes—currently ranked at No. 1—Swift abandons her country sound to conform to the pop genre, with less instrumental elements and a bigger focus on vocals and beat. This was made obvious early on with the release of her first single from the album, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.” Other than that, the album is a typical Swift album—full of songs about relationships, with a few other themes mixed in. Swift mostly just takes us on another journey through her tumultuous relationships, complete with catchy tunes that let us know exactly how she feels. For this reason, even though her genre has changed, Taylor Swift fans still will love this album. If you never were a T-Swift fan, you probably would be wasting your time.
