Taylor Swift – Cardigan
Release Date: Out Now
So, Taylor Swift just went and
dropped a whole new album on the world without warning and I thought I’d check
out the first single from it, namely ‘Cardigan’. This is stripped back and
sparse stuff with a gentle piano riff, skittish percussion and a sense of
nostalgia hanging heavily in the air while Swift’s easily identifiable vocal
floating effortlessly above it all. There are elements of Tori Amos here (not
just because of the piano) as well as Ani Di Franco and Imogen Heap which shows
the next stage of Swift’s evolution and that’s what all the important artists
do, they evolve. I’m not sure about the press shot that flies a little close to
Titanic: The Musical but otherwise I am pleasantly impressed by this one.
