从复古流行走向电气工业的诚意之作
从2014年泰勒斯威夫特的惊艳转型之作1989获得格莱美年度最佳专辑后,人们纷纷猜测着这位超一线的年轻美国歌手在下一专的表现。记得Reputation刚出首单Look what you made me发布时,808的鼓声与精致细腻的钢琴伴奏烘托出的强烈drama感,让曾经造成巨大轰动的电话录音事件又浮现公众面前。
出色的单曲成绩让人不光在惊叹泰勒的世界影响力时,也在让人暗暗担心reputation整张专辑的表现。泰勒的首单一般都是整张专辑的态度表现。从1989的首单shake it off就知道这张专辑基本奠定了整张专辑的基调,也表面了泰勒转型的决心。强大的制作人团队让这首歌多了精致感,但后半洗脑的hook与泰勒略显单白的vocal相比,显得有些羸弱。少了抓耳的旋律,少了精致的songwriting,泰勒还剩些什么?
还好,接连的三首歌与整张专辑打消了我的顾虑。
1.Ready for it..★★★☆☆
开头强大的电音气压与泰式rap表现的十分出色,将爱人与自己比作burton to taylor的新奇比喻,与副歌撕裂的1989抒情风让人惊叹这首歌的复杂与泰勒不断进步的歌词技艺。但是这首歌的优点与缺点也十分明显,撕裂的曲风让人可以看出其转型时的犹豫,但这种撕裂的曲风也可以看做对1989时代的致敬与照应,对新的rep时期的发起are you ready for it的口号。
金句:He can be my jailor, "burton to this taylor" Every love known in comparison is a failure.
2.End game ★★★★☆
出色的流行歌曲,合作曲目。连续两首歌泰勒向乐迷展现了其不断扩宽的音乐领域,rapXtrap的联合,与近年大火的ed与future的合作,看出泰勒对流行音乐的方向把控自有一套。让人惊喜的是,泰式rap并没有想象的那么尴尬,反而future'的那一段显得有些唐突。
金句:i swear i dont like the drama,but it loves me
3. I did something bad ★★★★☆
如果说TS6的首单应该打谁的话,除了大姐咪咪兔之外,估计只有这首歌适合了。婊气的唱腔与副歌light me up中的暗喻与讽刺。快节奏的鼓点与随处可见的装饰音效,泰勒对hater的白眼可以冲3天高了。复仇向加强版bad blood
金句:They got their pitchforks and proof,their recipets and reasons. They are burning all the witches even you are not the one.
4.Don't blame me ★★★★☆
这首歌可以看出时泰勒向成人世界的一个进发,与曲风的扩展,少了那么一丝泰勒方式的叙事与风格。其中最后一段展现出来的高音,也让人不得不对泰勒这三年vocal实力的提升点个赞。不过如果这首歌交给其他diva来唱,可能会更加有感觉。
金句:i once was poison ivy,but now i am your daisy
5.Dedicate ★★★★★
开头的auto音效点题reputation,性冷淡的vocal展现出taylor在面对爱人时自心内心的犹豫与反复。抓耳的旋律与重复的hook,在Max Martin的制作下,显得如此克制。具有大heat向!
金句: My reputation hasn't been worse so he must like me for me....
6.Look What you made me do ★★★☆☆ 态度试水,出色的制作,略显平庸的hook
7.So it goes ★★☆☆☆此专倒数
8.Gorgeous★★★☆☆ 疑似1989弃女,偶有佳句,但无大亮点。
9.Getaway car ★★★★★
Jack antonoff与Taylor swift的组合向来不会失败,从1989时代的OOTWS就可以看出其出色的制作能力。泰勒在这首歌中创新的把自己与爱人比作亡命天涯的大盗,全曲从头到尾神句频出,丰富的细节与照应与旋律完美的结合。
It was the great escape, the prison break The light of freedom on my face But you weren't thinkin' And I was just drinkin' / There were sirens in the beat of your heart / I was flying in a getaway car I was crying in a getaway car I was dying in a getaway car said Goodbye in a getaway car (四连杀)
10 King of my heart ★★★★
出色的hook‘prove to me ,i am your american queen,move to me like Motown beat'
点缀的电音一点都不尴尬,反而特别有质感。不过缺点是歌词太优秀了,导致感觉有点撕裂感。
金句:
Is the end of all the endings My broken bones are mending With all these nights we're spending
Up on the roof with a school girl crush Drinking beer out of plastic cups
Say you fancy me not fancy stuff Baby all at once this is enough
11.Dancing with our hands tied ★★★☆☆
个人无感,但副歌的高音吓到了。
12.Dress ★★★★☆
情欲之作,假声骚气,极具勾引性。应该算泰勒第一次试水sex的作品,全歌没有十八禁词汇,写的很美好。
金句:say my name and everything stops /Turn my bed into sacred oasis
13.This is why we cannot have nice things★★★☆☆
俏皮的diss曲目,但不对个人胃口。
14.Call it what you want ★★★★★
完美的歌词,与开头缥缈的旋律。可以听出泰勒内心心境的变化,与对joe的爱意之深。歌词比肩all too well,泰勒生涯歌词最佳前10!可以从中听出些许rnb的元素。
金句:Cause, my baby's fit like a daydream Walking with his head down I'm the one he's walking to
my baby's fly like a jet stream high above the whole scene Loves me like I'm brand new So, call it what you want
15.New Years Day ★★★★◇
这张pop专辑的结尾居然是一首单纯以钢琴伴奏做结的歌曲,诚恳的歌曲,感觉一夜回到了乡村时期。优秀的歌词与意向,优秀的完结。
金句:You squeeze my hand three times in the back of the taxi/ But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day / Please don't ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
优秀的转型之作,完美的songwriting与高质量的制作,对reputation的阐释淋漓尽致。明年提名格莱美最佳年度专5辑:reputation,年度流行专辑:reputation 年度制作:Getaway car
