    Taylor Swift the master of songwriting, and producing in hiding. What a delightful surprise , definitely Folklores brother or sister , song such as Willow, Champagne problems, tis, damn season make what to embrace my life as a work of art , and immortalize it in a Polaroid. She can drive us to places and set a movie in 3 minutes with no body no crime. She is working hard, She deserves the best.

I dived into multiple POVs and mulled, grieved, and weeped over situations I've never been in, and turned into a wreck by the end of it. It's not just the songwriting but the production and melodies. Experimental and though foreign at first, it fits in the narratives perfectly untill I realized I cannot have it any other way after. Also might I just add that Taylor Swift is not known for her vocals but she makes me doubt that in this album because she sounds heavenly.

    Overall its an excellent album. Kudo to the team behind because this album is a masterpiece. Also, Taylor Swift should write a book.

    Along with "folklore",these are the albums that stand out differently that the others mainstream music. She writes about meaningful stories that open our minds and take us on a trip with extreme creativity, especially during this upsetting pandemic. This album allows us to compose ourselves in a silent piece of tranquility and continue to have faith in life because good music still exists.

    Swift enters once again the world of heavy dreaming and the magnificent storytelling previously present in "folklore".

    "evermore" is the brand new example of genius and powerful music, brought by one of the most, if not the most talented artist this world has ever seen

    she is proving everyday that she no longer cares about what the general public thinks, she cares about her fans the "swifties" gifting them (and by that mean) the world, a massive era of distraction and creative madness to forget all the anxiety of the modern covid world.

    she is by far the most versatile artist "this town has ever seen" and by town i mean The Universe, because her music has tracended the ozone layer and its now an infinite rain of geniusly crafted art.

    glorious album, totally worth your time.

    While the entire music industry was waiting for the scandalous Grammy award, the day before her 31st birthday, Taylor Swift wrote on Twitter about the release of her ninth Studio album, called "evermore", the release of which she explained: "To put it plainly, we just couldn’t stop writing songs. To try and put it more poetically, it feels like we were standing on the edge of theWhile the entire music industry was waiting for the scandalous Grammy award, the day before her 31st birthday, Taylor Swift wrote on Twitter about the release of her ninth Studio album, called "evermore", the release of which she explained: "To put it plainly, we just couldn’t stop writing songs. To try and put it more poetically, it feels like we were standing on the edge of the folklorian woods and had a choice: to turn and go back or to travel further into the forest of this music. We chose to wander deeper in".

    The album was produced by Taylor and friends: multiple Grammy award nominee Jack Antonoff, as well as Aaron Dessner, WB, and Justin Vernon. The regular edition consists of 15 tracks, and the deluxe edition consists of 17 tracks. In this work, Taylor is more immersed in herself, giving vent to her imagination, she tries to make this album like a "sister" of the previous record "folklore". Taylor explores many fictional and existing issues and themes, and tells several stories that are riddled with longing and loss, in turn turning into peace and humility. The entire record, like "folklore", is written in the style of indie-folk with a touch of country, indie-pop. The work sounds like a free, open world that defies any rational description, but in the context of the coronavirus pandemic, this release has become an outlet that turns even the closed and boring atmosphere of the house into a boundless universe.

    The album shows all facets of Taylor's poetry, as well as the bands Haim, Bon Iver and The National, collaborations with which are also present on the record. Each track consists of gentle lyrical transitions created from literary tropes, which is only worth a metaphor from the eponymous creation "evermore", recorded with Bon Iver, which refers to the days when we did not remember our past due to long imprisonment: "I rewind thе tape but all it does is pause on thе very moment all was lost". Throughout the composition, one can trace the longing for loved ones and the pain of their loss, because during the still raging pandemic, many families are divided, and many have already lost someone.

    The main track on the album was the inspiring and tender "willow", which pays tribute to the person who was always with the singer and supported her, namely, her boyfriend. She compares his tenderness to "priceless wine" and his personality to "as if you were a mythical thing". In the sound, the main place is occupied by the guitar and piano, which gently convey all this warmth from the writer to the listener, making it possible to feel the comfort that many are deprived of.

    Emotional work will not leave aside any person who decides to listen to this record, because the album is full of many images, characters, thoughts and decisions. The entire created universe gives people the opportunity to immerse themselves more in themselves, but it does not leave the aftertaste of loneliness, which is transformed into something more like accepting their essence and outer shell.

    I would like to mention the tremendous work done in these 139 days since the release of the previous album. This release makes you rethink many things and ask yourself: "maybe not everything is so bad? Can everything turn out for the better?". In this record, melancholy acts not as something boring, background and tedious, but as magical, fascinating and peaceful, which saves a lot of hearts.

    Taylor Swift is truly a tireless worker, after Folklore she decided, taking a big risk, to give us a second album in the same year.
    In my opinion this album is more complex than Folklore, there are different melodies, alternative but also quite Pop.
    In my opinion it is a successful album, varied and not monotonous, to be listened to several times before really appreciating its complexity

    Evermore is like Folklore's younger sister. Listening to it is like eating a box of chocolates, you never know what you're about to hear next. And although Folklore sounded more refined, cautious, cohesive, and mature. This album had the same cohesive sound and mature perspective but this time the execution was made with her new-found wilder spirit.

Siguiendo las bases que estableció con su anterior trabajo musical, Swift perfecciona en evermore lo que ya estaba impecable en primer lugar, tiene sonidos mas variados y orientados al Country y a las Baladas Pop/Rock, por los que quienes amaron y disfrutaron de folklore, este lo disfrutarán muchísimo más, pero ¿se puede aumentar algo que ya estaba en su máxima y mejor expresión? Taylor Swift acaba de demostrar (otra vez) que si. Expand

    Taylor proves, once again, she's the best songwriter of our generation. A perfect continuation of folklore.

    It is without question a wintering record, but out of this muted musical landscape songs of great and complex beauty emerge. [Mar 2021, p.34]

    Even though we get a catchy moment of goofy, snarling country midway through, the album is a result of the emotional clarity that a year in quarantine provided. Swift has written about curdling relationships splendidly in the past, but there's a new dimension to her writing that wasn’t there before. Onward.

    The pandemic seems to have freed her, given her the space to breathe, and has allowed her to produce her most elegant and sophisticated work to date.
