Taylor Swift's Speak Now

By Erik Hammarlund

           
With modern music consisting primarily of hip-hop so bland it’s unforgettable, pop songs so fragilely constructed they collapse at the slightest critique, and various genres of rock that consist of whiny teenage boys singing about how their lives suck because their parents wouldn’t drive them to the mall, Taylor Swift’s forlorn, country-rooted style is a refreshing break from the status quo. That is, refreshing until you actually hear the music... and then you realize she’s just another catchy little gimmick.


            Taylor Swift’s new album, Speak Now, hit stores on October 25, 2010, and following her tremendous success with Fearless, was predicted to become another successful release by America’s most favorite country gal. Unfortunately, upon listening to Speak Now as little as one time, it becomes painfully honest that this is not the Fearless sequel we were all hoping for. There is no catchy “You Belong With Me” companion, no bittersweet reflections on the past like “Fifteen”... rather, the album is filled with cookie-cutter five-second hits that put Swift plainly in the “whiny teenage [girl]” category, losing the noble side of her that was present in the past.
