Taylor Swift's 'Red': Track by Track Review
November 22, 2012 is the official day for Taylor Swift fans. "Red" is set of its worldwide release and Swift fans are in frenzy. The album is yet to be released but the reviews have already been pouring in. Take a look at "Red's" official track list and what the critics are saying about Swift's upcoming fourth album.
Love and heartbreak are always two things involved in Swift songs. After surviving so much drama in life, Swift has managed to make three albums from it and earn a lot of money from it and the country crooner has just begun taking her hold on the love business. With a fourth album set for release, everyone is on their toes to get their hands on the "Red" album.
A track listing has already been released for "Red" and eaves have already kicked in song per song. Rather than sticking solely on her country roots, Swift goes a bit techno and "Red" is a mix between pop and country. Yet, "Red" all the more promises a mixed bag of sounds and emotions enough to put anyone on a rollercoaster of sentiments.
"State of Grace" opens up the album which is a bit of indie rock probably inspired by Coldplay and Radiohead. In the song, Swift talks about being blindsided by love which as her fans know full well of, happens all the time. The notable lyrics are as follows: "I never saw you coming / And I'll never be the same."
Given the title of the album is "Red", the song "Red" would of course be part of the album. A few music critics claim it's a bad try at auto-tune still Swift manages to try a little stint of Faith Hill. With the repetitive metaphor and banjo-like strumming serenading in the background, Swift goes to croon to the sentiments of moving on from love.
Of course, Swift's hit song that made debut weeks before and continues to rock the Billboard charts is "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." The song obviously takes a hit at Swift's past love with the music video involving crazy dance moves, instrumentalists in hilarious furry animal costumes and vintage clothing.
Other tracks listed under "Red" include the following: "Treacherous", "I Knew You Were Trouble", "All Too Well", "22", "I Almost Do", "Stay Stay Stay", "The Last Time", "Holy Ground", "Sad Beautiful Tragic", "The Lucky One", "Everything Has Changed", "Starlight" and "Begin Again."
