After I Buy Fearless
Taylor Swift is one talented teen! She had a hand again in every song on her highly anticipated sophomore CD - this time she wrote 7, and co-wrote 6. The first single, "Love Story" is a good example of how she can combine great lyrics with a catchy beat - and then produce a smash crossover hit. The most remarkable thing about the album is that it is incredibly balanced...and almost every song is so good that it could be released as a radio single. I think it is now safe to say that she is a rising star who will just keep on rising!
Taylor opens the album with the strong title track "Fearless", and ends the album with the powerful theme song of the summer Olympics, "Change". In the middle is a sure huge hit "The Way I Loved You" - a song that she wrote with John Rich. "Fifteen" is her most personal song, a bittersweet gem where she sings about her freshman year and her best friend for the past 5 years, Abigail. "White Horse" (which has already been featured on Grey's Anatomy) is a well written tearjerker - a heartfelt song that is just waiting to become her next blockbuster hit. A good example of her more acoustic side is "Breathe" - a simple song written with Colbie Caillat who also sings background vocals in the song. Taylor's writing seems to have matured and grown in the past 2 years. Take "The Best Day" for example - which is a completely different but awesome song, which is written about her family. She appeals to a wide audience, and executes this so well here on Fearless.
It's incredible how quickly Taylor crossed over and became not only a big country star, but a huge pop star also. It took only her second single - Teardrops On My Guitar - for her to become amazingly popular in mainstream music! Then she continued to release 3 more hits (two of them #1) off her debut album. Talk about a hard act to follow - but I can't see this trend stopping anytime soon with Fearless - this album is a major home run. She isn't the same country artist who sang "Tim Mcgraw", and I understand that some people will not be happy about that. If there are any flaws here, it would be that many of the songs are pop-country hits which are about the same subject - teens. You can't please everyone, but look for her to just become even bigger and more popular, with more #1's and crossover pop smash hits. Taylor's sophomore CD is very well done...filled with excellent, self-penned, radio-friendly top 40 hits! Overall ~ 9/10 ~
There's the saying "It's better to be fearless than fierce" or the other way around. I just want to know what's the difference.
ReplyDeleteProlongued speculation has brought the conclusion that fear is the cause of nearly every negative event there is, besides lack of understanding or in lesser cases lack of acceptance. Describe an easy method for the purpose of helping others adopt fearless traits. Easier and more simple? Even better. This will help many in nearly innumerable ways.
ReplyDeleteI just read on some femInist website that women go for fearless men who are sensitive ? WHAAAATT ??? I mean, I've known a few fearless guys but I would not have described any of them as sensitive. The two qualities are like mutually exclusive. I s this just another case of people in the modern world seeking the impossible, of setting the bar just way to high in practical terms ? I mean, It's good to dream but life is not infinite and at some point we all have to engage with reality.and accept people for what they are.
ReplyDeleteThe honey badger has been the most fearless since 2002, but what had the title before it?
ReplyDeleteDuring the fearless tour what time does Gloriana, Kellie Pickler, and Taylor Swift each usually go on? And what time do doors open for the show?
ReplyDeleteFearless to die is not as good as one who is fearless to face life in any circumstances. When one who boasts he is fearless dies, his fearlessness dies with him. He is gone. What can a dead says anything about himself. The one who is fearless is the one who faces through all conditions of life. Aspire life and watch the living around you which is more fun and interesting. That's why God wants the life to go on forever even after death. If this is true and happens, that life after death shall see you enjoying the sight of the universe with God. So seek that life after death.
