    Swift is a songwriter for the ages, “stronger than a 90s trend”, as she sings on Willow. But she’s still a little muted on Evermore as she was on Folklore by pastel music that smears Vaseline on her otherwise keen lens.

    “Evermore,” in a first for Swift, simply repeats its predecessor’s trick, which means the new album’s tunes must stand on their own. And not all of them are up to the standard she set on “Folklore.” There are some incredible songs here. ... Yet too many of the remaining songs on “Evermore” feel like leftovers from “Folklore.” with recycled vocal cadences and melodic phrases or lyrical scenarios that seem unfinished. ... For most pop stars, that might be enough. Not for Swift.

    For all the razzle-dazzle of its surprise release, I’m struck by hard it is to draw a lasting overall impression from the record. It adds little to the reinvention established by Folklore and doesn’t deepen her work within this sound in particularly convincing terms. I want to credit her at least for keeping up an industrious streak, but this alone would seem patronising.

    Since she announced the album, I saw the pictures and it was obvious that Evermore was going to have a similar concept as Folklore. So ISince she announced the album, I saw the pictures and it was obvious that Evermore was going to have a similar concept as Folklore. So I decided I was going to listen it without comparing it and I'm impressed, I really loved the album. I'm amazed by the Dressner brothers, Jack Antonoff and the talent behind the scenes. It is a soothing album, perfect for the times we're living.… Full Review »
