Taylor Swift - evermore | Album Review

[@artvjon]

folklore or evermore? fire away 👇 Thanks for watching my review!! Like the video if you dare :)

[@bonitaw7658]

i feel like folklore is far superior but evermore is still a really solid album! i think it might just not be for me? regardless, i love that she's still so successful as an artist and that she's still putting out great music.

[@artvjon]

@@bonitaw7658 I agree with this take!

[@z9391]

folklore is just all around amazing, evermore doesn’t quite live up to its magic for me but still so many new good songs!

[@bonitaw7658]

@@z9391 strongly agree!

[@Kumar-hc5pb]

Evermore is much more mature record than folklore. And I think people aren't appreciating it more because it came after folklore ( which was a completely different sound for Taylor). They always go into evermore thinking it's folklore's leftovers..

[@Kumar-hc5pb]

" I come back stronger than a 90's trend " is the new " darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream "..

Totally!!!

[@redtakes2406]

YES!

[@animeshkhare1769]

Evermore is such a nice winter album. The best part about it is the fact that the sounds resemble folklore and are a continuation but at the same time it's very unique and is it's own album. Really stellar work by Taylor.

[@YashSharma-gk7fb]

I think both albums are equally good and the "leftover" thing didn't even cross my mind

[@jannengo7568]

me too. there are actually a lot of very rich lyrics and intricate stories on evermore. they're equal to me.

[@eloramaxwell7020]

The mandolin, harmonica, the strings, and Marcus Mumford are just FLIPPING GOOD together

[@BG12sofia]

I wonder if being isolated, away from the spotlight pressures, has allowed Taylor Swift to forgo worries about marketability and pop and make the music she actually wanted to make, with folklore e evermore.

[@trevorkeith3813]

I was thinking about that too. Ever since she went pop, it seemed like she was mostly a product of a record label that still let her have some say in what happened. After Reuptation's huge disappointment, they tried to capture the Taylor of before in the pop vein still with Lover but failed in actually making anything authentic. She was on her way out of the spotlight (not that spotlight isn't everything but she was going out with music only her fans seemed to care about). So I think when the pandemic hit, they just let Taylor do what she wanted. I think they knew that only she could save her career.

[@Ty-mu7gl]

@@trevorkeith3813 I agree to an extent, but Taylor literally founded her own management team. She made “rep” and “Lover” because she wanted to, not because someone else forced her to go in that direction, especially “Lover”. In 2018-2019, she wasn't under BMG's terms and conditions any more, which gave her even more freedom to make whatever she wanted. I completely agree that she was slowly fading away from the spotlight with “Lover”. It's a great album for me, but I get people think pop music is dumb and boring and whatnot. “folklore” and “evermore” not only got her back to the forefront of the music industry, but they also gave her something she never had: full respect for her raw talent. They pretty much cemented her as a powerhouse artist.

[@trevorkeith3813]

@@Ty-mu7gl ah cool. I didnt know that. I dont listen to her all that often (except for folklore and evermore) and mostly just hear her singles but the songs from Rep and Lover just sound so unlike her. They may have also been less popular cause she didnt use Max Martin. Im not a huge fan of pop, i only find is "less" of a genre because of people like Max Martin. They literally craft songs that are meant to be liked but it makes all pop music sound the same. They've kinda turned pop music into something its not and now everyone aims for this sound so they can get a shot at fame. (At least for Radio pop music). Which is a reason i kinda stopped liking swift is that she went pop and ive not liked her music since it aimed to be this Max Martin sound

[@estevezalexa]

she actually confirmed this. she said she always thought about how each song would sound on tour or radio and with this record, she said she let go of those fears.

[@tomasafonso2804]

Tolerate it is a masterpiece. So I'm out of here

[@notme5891]

I think “tolerate it” is actually my favourite on the album! I just feel like the lyrics are so cutting and perfectly capture that feeling of being under appreciated.

[@bienvillamor2013]

Imo, #folklore is testing the waters that's why the songs in the album are polished as it is, while #evermore became a more loose and free album because the confidence is already established.

[@Mubashir_AK]

I should've thought of this. Great observation/opinion!

[@wreckedrisk]

Folklore is that silvery dagger that would stabbed you, It hurts so good While Evermore is that grandest golden cloak you'll wore for longing a marvelous comfort.

[@wreckedrisk]

@@callmebleghmeifyouwannarea5389 Maybe I should have kept the "stabbed" and "grandest". Let alone the dagger and cloak as some sort of an item that would represent the two albums. Anyways, I felt your suggestion of broadening my musical horizon as a lovely encouragement.

[@Intothesunset89]

I do enjoy Tolerate It, but it doesn’t compare to My Tears Ricochet for me.

Ooh same. I really like Tolerate It, but My Tears Ricochet just hits that specific spot for me.

I love both Folklore and Evermore equally. I can't decide between them. They're my two top Taylor albums. I've been a Swiftie for twelve years and none of her albums have made me feel like these two have.

[@ElliYeetYT]

Taylor is definitely doing much better than she was at the “Reputation” era.

[@purple1441]

oh for sure!

[@tokiyakillsinsight160]

Reputation was my least favorite era. Lover was my second least favorite. I’m surprised she followed up my two least favorite albums with both of my favorites from her. folklore and evermore are her best albums yet.

[@ronstoppable5659]

@@tokiyakillsinsight160 That’s a funny thing, considering that a ton of Swifties and people that mainly listen to pop think that Reputation is her best work, while us general music fans pretty much universally agree that it’s by far her worst album (seriously compare how Reputation is talked about in the comment section of Honest’s videos to how it’s talked about in the comment section of Jon’s videos and you’ll see what I mean)

[@ElizabethNicoleSchwartz]

Facts. I've been a fan of Taylor since i was literally like 10 years old 😳 and I have to say that Reputation was definitely one of her weakest eras and I don't understand why other long time fans see it as her best. There are a few songs on that record that are among my favorites of Taylor's discography, but the album as a whole? Definitely not.

[@friendlyneighbourhooddegen4739]

I’m borderline offended that she’s been putting out crap like Look What You Made Me Do and You Need to Calm Down for years when she’s talented enough to compose beautiful masterpieces like Folklore and Evermore. How has she been suppressing her creativity for so long?!

I prefer folklore as a whole, but the songs I like the most in evermore are better than the ones I like in folklore. In my humble opinion marjorie, dorothea and gold rush are fantastic songs.

[@bryceratliff9194]

Great review! I truly love this and folklore on an equal level. This one might be a bit better to me only because it dives a bit deeper into the folk sound, but I love them both too much to choose. Happiness and Coney Island (which seems WAYY too ignored by many, glad you liked it) are battling for my favorite song. Just so impressed with this growth from her and hoping she doesn’t just go back to pop, I’d love to see her keep exploring these new sounds. Also cowboy like me is heavenly

[@thatemerson8101]

No Body, No Crime is my absolute favorite from evermore.

[@MsSera21]

YES Cowboy Like Me! Very quickly has become one of my favourite songs she's ever put out

[@Starbuck-dr7yl]

I think she has found her sound. These songs weren’t written fir folklore, in fact Happiness was written one week before its release. I really think she sounds great, her lyrics are superior, and I think the collaboration with Aaron Dessner has been pure gold, it just works. It’s slow and yea, Dorothea is a miss.... but overall this is an excellent album. Cowboy like me grew on me. I like the melody, the story is funny if you listen to the lyrics, and Mumford. I’m not thinking Willow is the best, but it is great. This album I like better than folklore, which I cannot believe I am saying because it had taken my 1st spot. I think her vocals are spectacular.

I can’t say which one I prefer, that’ll have to be a decision I make in a few months when I’ve had time to sit with Evermore. It’s so exciting to hear her back dive back into those country tracks. I did not expect a song with the title “Cowboy Like Me” to be my favourite on the album. The only song I don’t really like is Long Story Short.

[@elizaanderson8909]

The more I listen to this record, the more I fall in love with it. I’m at the point where I’m enjoying it a little more than folklore. One of the main things that stands out is the production. The group (Swift, Dessner, Antonoff) seems to have found their footing together and because of that they were able to experiment more on this record. Saying this, I’m very curious as to where this is going to lead her for her next record. Regardless, I’m really digging this record!

[@kamallb4650]

[@JoshuaFagan]

Am I the only one who prefers Evermore? Don't get me wrong, I love Folklore, and I listened to it more than any other album this year, but the songwriting on Evermore seems a step up, and the instrumentation seems more lush and diverse. I'm not sure it has the same standout tracks as Folklore, but it's more cohesive as a whole. Strong 9/10 from me.

[@simplysabrina8947]

I kind of agree! I think I like Folklore a *bit* more (just a smidge), but I LOVE this album. I appreciate the diversity in Evermore compared to Folklore. I preordered it on vinyl, I can't wait for it to come (but sadly it doesn't ship for like 20 weeks lol). Folklore for me is a 10/10 while Evermore is a 9/10, and I'm not even a hard-core Swifty lol.

To be honest I love how everyone seems to have different favourites on Folklore and Evermore. Dorothea and Tolerate It are two of my favourite songs on the album, and Cowboy Like Me is DEFINITELY the dark horse here. Folklore was my album of the year before this dropped, and I actually find Evermore to be a step UP, especially lyrically. I respect your opinion though - honestly it’s brilliant how different songs can hit for different people!

[@albertmares6914]

Great review as always. I actually like this album even more than Folklore, I find it overall a little bit more entertaining and there are more tracks that I genuinly love. The only problem I have is the machine sounding beat in Closure. It is so disracting that I can't pay attention to the song entirely. My favorites are definitely No body, no crime, Dorothea and Willow.

[@enigmaticdreams1397]

I found Folklore to be the more dreamy album while Evermore feels more grounded in reality. Maybe because Folklore had a bit of dreampop elements in it like Mirrorball and This Is Me Trying? I personally prefer the dreaminess, but I loved Evermore. I also agree in that the first listen, Evermore just felt like a ton of B-sides left over from Folklore, but after the second listen, I feel now that it can stand next to Folklore rather than an odd leftover attachment. Something I found interesting is that a lot of people hate the tracks others love, and vice versa. For example I found that Closure definitely made a place in my mind because of its borderline industrial distorted beat, contrasted with the piano and Taylor's soft singing. but eh, people will feel differently.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the musical nature of closure! I thought that one was really unique for Taylor

[@NateJRauba]

The only song I mildly dislike is closure but overall its a perfect album. 5/5 from me

[@lotusmiragemusic]

Yeah that's the only skip IMO

[@darwinzamoraduran]

cowboy like me appreciation video!!!!! :'‹ Love you

[@jimbob2427]

I’d love to what vocal melodies are used similar to tolerate it. Becuase ive heard nothing like it

[@6ftofmisery636]

Cowboy like me is my absolute favorite Taylor swift song. Her vocal performance, the production everything is so smooth. Sorry all too well

[@artvjon]

Uh, she’s establishing the setting tho it works imo

[@katskraz]

Marjorie is such an emotional and sweet dedication to her grandma and I feel like it doesn't get enough love

[@renatacerekaite2331]

tolerate it is actually my favorite song on the album but I respect your opinion dude

[@briarr18]

you should do an updated top ten taylor swift songs!

[@allen8298]

Agree with the track 5 take. Happiness deserved that spot tbh

[@lotusmiragemusic]

So true..."happiness" brings me to tears every time

[@allen8298]

@@martasorangeberry yeah. I know in terms of lyrics tolerate it is much more vulnerable, but the overall feel I get on the song isn't on par with happiness in terms of sadness.

[@jamesnorden8540]

I think a lot of this has to do with my mood now vs my mood in july but I am enjoying Evermore a lot more than folklore (which is amazing in its own right) I actually do hope the rumor of there being a 3rd album is true because I want more.

[@theprettyoftheodd7997]

Does the instrumental of Closure remind anyone else of Fever era Panic! ?

[@ronstoppable5659]

I wish I could give an opinion on that, but I can’t because of how horrible the mixing is, seriously it sounds so amateurish, like a wannabe producer that gets inspired by hearing a Kanye song once, but forgets that he’s producing a slow alt pop song, so the result is that beat and the pianos clashing horribly

[@nottsurewhattomakemyusername]

[@leonardbas3751]
