Back in 1989 I was almost in my senior year. The sound of
the 90s was acid house, friendly pop-rock, teen pop and dance pop. I couldn't
care less. Ok, I lie. I did listen to some of the 90s music, and yes, I confess
I have some of the 90s biggest best known CD. The truth is that I am a child of
the 80s, the synth pop era. So I was VERY surprised when listening to
country-pop star Taylor Swift's latest CD only to find there is NO country
elements! GASP! Could it be the result of the singer moved from Nashville to
New York? For sure! On 1989 she shed every last country gene she had left.
Listening to 1989 sounds like listening to a Pet Shop Boys CD, Bouncy, synthy
and good. Did I really just say Taylor is good? I did! Oh the shame... All
jokes aside, "1989 is a glitzed-up pop powerhouse about living in the big
city, leaving old selves behind, and, yes, dating people you probably really
shouldn’t be dating. It’s not that Swift is making the same mistakes she
promised herself she’d stop making in “Trouble”; it’s more like she’s accepting
that making mistakes is a necessary part of the fucked-up charade we call adult
life." says consequenceofsound.net - and so true! This album has
everything that a Taylor fan could want, love songs, guy advice and tons of
dance hits that will brighten up your mood. The CD is a 100% cross over to pop
and fans will love it. I did…
