Taylor Swift, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”
Red
Released via a web chat conducted yesterday, “We Are Never…” is the first taste of Swift’s upcoming fourth record (due out October 22nd). It took 3 hours for the song to be sitting at the top of the iTunes charts.
The track leans heavily to the pop realm (it was co-written by Max Martin, of Katy Perry fame), with a crunchy clap track cutting under some super-shiny guitars, but it’s the lyrical prowess of Swift that pulls it along, as she takes her scythe to an ex, and herself- “And you would hide away and find your peace of mind/ With some indie record that’s much cooler than mine.”
(Apologies for the audio, it was the best I could find…)
I heard this today as well. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the album turns out!
Yeah I’m really interested to hear it. This is the first time she’s co-written with other people, so the songs could be quite different.
the site is an awesome find
