folklore - taylor swift

this album surprise dropped after the initial covid19 outbreak in 2020 and follows a completely new side of taylor swift, away from her established roots in pop music. 'folklore' is her 8th studio album and takes on a much more chill, indie, folklike energy, in a similar yet different way to her early country music. 'folklore' consists of these low energy ballads driven by beautiful acoustic instrumentals. this album is a narrative driven album through and through.

with folklore, taylor explores these ideas of nostalgia and romanticism; almost in a similar vein to her albums fearless and speak now. however, here she takes on a much more mature lens by discussing themes such as infidelity, suicide, and alcoholism. this is by far one of her most vulnerable albums, some of the tracks feel uncomfortably intimate at times; feeling like im listening to someone's sob filled journal entries. escapism, however, is the album's main theme; being fuelled by the pandemic, empathy and loss come through in the haunting vocals and instrumentals. it's crazy how private this album is.

the record additionally follows fictional narratives and arcs based in a love triangle between 3 teenagers. i LOVE when artists do this and transport us into a whole new world unique to an album. moreover, this fictional narrative is extremely realistic and relatable; in a sense being semi autobiographical to swift herself. the story of this album is by far its shining feature.

my favourite track would have to be 'betty'. this song is told from the perspective of the fictional character james, who is apologising to betty after cheating on her. i love this, swift's ability to delve into this persona and to still create such a personal feeling song is crazy. this song takes clear inspiration from her earlier country music and its honestly sort of comforting; listening to this teenage boy beg for forgiveness over an americana inspired instrumental. i do have to give 'august' and 'the 1' shoutouts here as they are extremely personal songs to myself; lyric-wise.

overall, 'folklore' is by far one of taylor's best albums. escaping into this fictional world in the trees on a late august's day, swift manages to delve back to her roots and explore a softer sound. she manages to reinvent her artistry on this record, and i doubt she'll ever be able to produce a body of work as intimate as this.

favourite track: betty

least favourite track: epiphany

NEW SERIES I MAY OR MAY NOT STICK TO:

ALBUMS I'VE LISTENED TO - EPISODE ONE

So yeah, whether I remember to update this is dependent on "if i remember" but anyways this is a series where I just talk about albums I've listened to, and give my opnion on them.

first album is:

AFTER HOURS - THE WEEKND (2020)

where to begin with this.

oh yeah, THIS ALBUM EXPERIENCED THE GREATEST GRAMMY SNUB IN HISTORY. okay, now onto the actual album itself.

It kind of tells a story about the main protagonist (red suit guy? The Weeknd? no clue, but i'll refer to him as "The Weeknd" from now on), as he goes through a breakup at the beginning of the album, Alone Again, where he then comes to terms with the breakup (Too Late), becomes sad about it and remorseful, goes back into his vices to cope in a fictionalised Las Vegas (Heartless, Faith, Blinding Lights), and tries to get back with the girl before, apparently, dying. yeah, confusing shit.

The story of it is HEAVILY up for interpretation if you just listen to the album, so I would recommend watching the music videos and the short film. They showcase some excellent character work from Abel, in addition to everything he did with this album's rollout, ALL UNDER LOCKDOWN.

Obviously then, it doesn't take a genius to guess that this album had a massive impact. What, with Blinding Lights now being the most streamed song on spotify ever, and it probably being the single factor to getting Abel to perform, SOLO, AT THE SUPER BOWL. (please get him back for another year he deserves no covid restrictions)

standout songs:

Six. Minutes. Of. Good. Ass. Music. Simple as that. This song is the perfect sum of all the album's themes, and is a perfect segway into the outro, Until I Bleed Out, as The Weeknd sings about how regretful he is that he did what he did, and how much he wants this girl back.

Under. Rated. This song's more of an introspective on The Weeknd's career up to this point, but no specifics are named. It could go the same for any artist who blew up, reached the top, and is now thinking "Where Now?" This hits very hard at the final verse, and makes the following track, Escape From LA, hit harder.

The point where the album with 80s-inspired songs finally gets its sax solo. this got a remix with Kenny G that has a saxxier sax solo, and i encourage checking that out after listening to this one.

worst song (honestly, still good):

literally only here because its the interlude. this is still a good song, and a nice transition thematically into the title track.

CONCLUSION:

In short, this is an album that is a must-listen. It managed to make a massive impact, and get snubbed out of the GRAMMYs, all during a pandemic. This album is pretty much perfect in every single way, and will have a song that resonates with everyone, no matter what.

RATING: 10/10
