With “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” the pop superstar has given us her most ambitious rerecorded album yet.
. “Wildest Dreams ” was so heartbreakingly beautiful and melancholic, and such an improvement upon the vaguely cheesy original, that it pretty much overshadowed all of theThat fall, I remember sitting in the passenger seat as my dad drove, patiently explaining to him why the biggest pop star in the world was going to such great lengths to produce doubles of her hits.
Rowe and Swift have diligently recreated the glass-and-chrome house that Martin and Shellback built. When the deadly sharp beat dropped in “Style ,” I screamed for joy. Any infinitesimal traces of tinniness and reverb in the original song have been eradicated to make way for a fuller, thicker sound.
Vocally, Swift seems to be attempting as accurate an impression of her younger voice as possible.

The effect can be uncanny, but it’s a satisfying experiment.
