It’s too bad Ryan Adams turned out to be such a shitty person because that really got in the way of one of the most interesting and diverse careers in the music business.
Who else would record a song-by-song cover of Taylor Swift’s 1989, giving each pop song on the record his own melancholy folk-rock twist? His 1989, released in 2015 a year after the original, is the sort of project I’d love to see attempted again.
Taylor Swift has released a second track from her upcoming pop album, 1989, and it’s an improvement on first single ‘Shake It Off.’
‘Out of the Woods’ was co-written with Jack Antonoff of fun. and Bleachers, and you can definitely see his influence on the track’s structure and production. That’s a good thing.
Still, I’m not crazy about the repetition in the chorus, and it’s a bit concerning that both tracks from 1989 have gone to that well.
