There is more where folklore came from. After the surprise release of her eighth album in July, Taylor Swift once again announced a new record in no time – in this case, forever, on the eve of December. 11 midnight release.
On social media, Swift referred to the album as a sister record of folklore. She wrote:" to put it plainly, we can't stop writing songs". And although fans have long referred to each of the star's album cycles as eras, Swift says not so fast this time around.
"There was something different with folklore,"she explained. "In achieving that, I felt less like I was leaving and as I was coming back."
In evermore, Swift teams up with Aaron Dessner, Jack Antonoff, Justin Vernon, and " WB " - aka William Bowery, aka Joe Alwyn, as confirmed in her latest Disney+ concert Film, Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions. The new collaborators enter the fray too, with a full feature from National ("coney island"), with backing vocals from Mumford & Sons' Marcus Mumford ("cowboy like me") and a track featuring sisters Haim ("no body, no crime").
The production options of folklore – sled programming and complex textured hardware commonly found in the work of Dessner-bear more than ever. The records are clearly in lyrical dialogue: in the opening of the album "Willow," on intricate acoustic guitars, Swift sings, " show me the places where others have given you scars."As in folklore, evermore evokes sweeping scenes with specific details: a tent tennis court.
There is continuity in the stories told – for example, mud-covered truck tires from "" tis the damn season " - that date back to Swift's early settings. In "Marjorie", she draws on her own family traditions, pays tribute to her maternal grandmother Marjorie Finlay, a singer. And on "no body , no crime," Haim intervenes to help spin the story of a suspected betrayal , avenging an adulterer thanks to a boating license and a little elbow grease (perhaps a tribute to The"Goodbye Earl" of chicks? )
