Sitting in a hot tub on “Saturday Night Live,” Will Ferrell and Rachel Dratch stole the sobriquetis reaching into that oily water and stealing it back. The word doesn’t sound unctuous on her lips as she repeats it in the gentle, waltz-time title track of “Lover,” her seventh album.
Having established that singer-songwriter-ly reflection is still deeply part of Swift’s brand, it’s hard to overstate how much “Lover” is characterized by an unalloyed ebullience that the singer has only rarely allowed herself. The mood is set right at the outset with “I Forgot That You Existed,” placed there as the one real point of continuum with the Kanye-gate themes that sparked much of “Reputation.
The absence of longtime producer stalwarts Max Martin and Shellback from this album’s credits was a cause for concern. But another returning producer,, and some new additions, Joel Little and the pairing of Frank Dukes and Louis Bell, are up to the ear-candy task. Antonoff in particular is peaking as a specialist in quirky Top 40 fodder; equal to the charms of “Paper Rings” and “I Think He Knows” is “Cruel Summer” — co-written by another client, St.
Swift does find some things to get mad about in “Lover”; it’s just not boys. A good chunk of the album is given up to statement songs, some of which are played for funanger, like the GLAAD-happy, homophobe-baiting “You Need to Calm Down.” An even more deceptively up-tempo tune, “The Man,” addresses how women suffer from sexism’s double standards when their power moves render them “a bitch, not a baller.

She is so beautiful to me
It's so strange to hear an album that's really meant as 1 piece .Not sure how commercial it is but that's not a knock on its quality.Other than Paper Rings I'm not sure what singles are left to release.
ChrisWillman Excellent review! Thanks for the insight! Lover

That was fast🏎.....did you listen to the leaks?🤔
INCREDIBLE FROM START TO FINISH
Lover I THINK HE KNOWS........ the DRESS of this album. Sizzling! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What does she really know about love, tho? Is she in love? Has she been in a long term committed relationship that lasts, where man and woman go past being lovers to become family? She doesnt know love. Just a selfish songbird singing about something she doesnt understand.
Oh. I thought it was about catholic Fellatio 🤔
Love the new song 'Soon you'll get better', featuring the Dixie Chicks. Lover
