Taylor Swift – Evermore (Green Vinyl)

Released as a surprise companion to “Folklore,” Taylor Swift’s “evermore” delves deeper into the enchanting world she crafted on the previous album. Imagine it as a winter’s walk in the same mystical forest, where the vibrant hues of autumn have softened into a melancholic beauty. The music itself leans into alternative soundscapes, creating a space for Swift’s signature storytelling to flourish. While “Folklore” brimmed with rich narratives, “evermore” expands its scope. We encounter not just Swift’s own experiences, but also fictional characters and captivating myths, all woven together with her characteristically clever lyricism. The album feels like a meditation, a chance to explore themes of lingering sadness, missed connections, and the enduring hope for happiness that peeks through even in the darkest of times. It’s an intimate journey, perfect for those long, introspective moments where introspection and captivating storytelling intertwine.
