CD - Taylor Swift: Red


It's truly, truly horrible but it does possess that most dangerous of pop-tune characteristics, in that it's embarrassingly catchy, and you'll be pleased to know that Taylor Swift's latest single, We Are Never Ever Ever Getting Back Together, is as bad as it gets when reviewing all 16 aural offerings from her fourth album, Red.

Lyrically, Red is grittier and more acerbic than her last fairy-tale reference laden attempt, Speak Now, and that's due to the, self-proclaimed, “tumultuous, crazy, insane, intense, semi-toxic relationships” the young singer/songwriter experienced during the last two years.

She's still syruped her pop with just the right amount of country influence and kept her stories the right side of PG-13 to appease her pre-teen, mid-western fans but Red definitely suggests she's on her way to delivering a fully-fledged adult album next time around.
