Dubstep looks good in RED.


Go ahead, pay the $1.29 for Taylor Swift’s latest single “I Knew You Were Trouble."


She's created a new kind of sound, almost like she borrowed 1/3 of the dubstep genre, put the other 2/3's back, and meshed it with her usual light hearted sound we've all grown so accustomed to. The outcome is a grainy "tough-girl" feel during the chorus. Whatever her method, it's a sound that is infinitely better than her last single. But anything sounds better in juxtaposition with that tune.

I’m captivated knowing that both songs have come from the same album, and my interest is peaked, wondering what the rest of it will sound like. This song is another anthem, full of rebellion that will undoubtedly speak to the hearts of  many girls who let themselves fall into the same trap. I'm really ready to see Taylor Swift go bad-ass, maybe this is a hint of what's to come? 

I knew she could do better than her last single, and she has. Now I feel better about pre-ordering the album.

This is not like, Taylor Swift's best song...like, ever.

Taylor Swift.

She's been through so much in the public eye but has always managed to show the public just what she's made of and how she feels. That's why we love her. I can say that personally, her album Speak Now has cradled me to sleep during many a restless night as I myself was getting over this heart ache here, and that heart ache there. We can all agree that singing songs of revenge and gut wrenching pain had never felt so good than when you're singing to a Taylor Swift song.

Then what is it about her new single, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" that just seems so...childish?

My favorite Celebrity Blogger Perez Hilton said otherwise, saying "It's one of her best to date!".
I on the other hand, do not see at all how it could even make her top 12 best songs. Perhaps it's the lyrical inferiority as compared with songs like "Back To December", "Dear John" from her previous album Speak Now and "Innocent"referring to the Kanye West incident (You remember that....right?) No need to go into any detail with that one. I had expected more from her brilliant mind, and you can say that I was a little let down, when I was met with "We are never ever, ever, getting back together".

When all is said and done, I'm still a ride or die T-Swizzle fan (how can you not be?) and this momentary lapse in tune and song which distressed me so, will be indefinitely overlooked when her new album RED makes its debut on October 22nd. I'll be one of the first to buy it, the first to sing it, and cry with it.

If you don't know about Ed Sheeran, you really should.

And here's why. If you are amazed that a performer sounds the same on record as they do live, you haven't heard enough good artists. There is music out there that you can relate to lyrically, and it won't be found on the radio.

There is more than :
Girl look at that body
Girl look at that body
Girl look at that body
I work out

Which actually surprised me.

Ed Sheeran is a gem that you will want to keep all to yourself.
Sadly, he already has over 2K followers on Twitter

His lyrics touch anyone who has ever been in love, and lost love. They recreate the joy and sorrow that you've felt personally. He lets you into his life in such a personal way, his lyrics will stun your heart into silence.
And what's even better is that it's just him and his guitar, that create flawless performances every time.

Watch him do it all himself, here.


His album "+" is in stores now.
