‘THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT’ has reached our ears today, April 19, and has not disappointed anyone. Furthermore, in case 16 songs The new news was not enough for us, Taylor decided to launch two hours later expanded version of this project with… 31 great songs! We show you below a brief analysis of the most important songs that make up this album, which could be the album of the year.
The disc starts with a collaboration with the artist Post Malonethe one who will be your primer ‘single’ It will have a video clip that will be released today. The song is called ‘Fortnight’ and it talks about a brief romance, lasting two weeks, but which affected the protagonist of the story and continues to do so. Followers think that this song is the reflection of his relationships with Joe Alwynlast relationship and Matty Healylead singer of The 1975.
He theme that gives its name to the album‘The Tortured Poets Department’, incluye una special mention to Charlie Puth in its lines. The second song of the project would be a tribute to esa amistad or romance with Matty Healy. Among the verses of the song we find references that make us think of the vocalist: “You smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate.” The 1975, his band, is known for the song ‘Chocolate’; Furthermore, at the end of this song we find “You left your typewriter at my apartment.” Matty, who would be the inspiration, explained in an interview for ‘GQ’ in 2018 that he loved this instrument for redact.
We jump to the fifth topic, ‘So Long, London’a song to hang on to someone without wanting to let go and even reaching the point of being willing to sacrifice oneself for that person. It is the perfect display of the deepest insecurities of the artist coming to light, a true work of art. It is already the second time that Taylor refers to this British city in his songs, the first being ‘London Boy’, from 2019 and curiously also inspired by the one who was a reference for this album, Joe Alwyn.
‘But Daddy I Love Him’ is one of the album’s highlights. With multiple references to previous albums, Swift vent about being always under the media spotlight, including their relationships, and the influence of their family members when it comes to whether or not to be with a person. Approaching the style of her first albums, Taylor opens her heart to us once again so that we understand what happened in those turbulent years.
The other collaboration included in ‘THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT’ is called ‘Florida!!!’ and would have his origen in what was the first city in which the artist performed with ‘The Eras Tour’ after her breakup with Alwyn became public. Join her voice to that of Florence Welch, and her band Florence + The Machineto capture a cold feeling about a home.
We finish the summary with ‘The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived’a song that has Joe Alwyn’s name written all over it. It seems that it will be one of the ballads of the album par excellence with its mix of emotions and perfect mix between her voice, the piano, choirs and the marked rhythms; that lead to an accumulation of feelings. It can be summed up in the phrase “You kicked out the stage lights, but you’re still performing”, reference to the fact that the breakup came because Joe couldn’t stand Taylor’s fame.
With a reference to the album of her opening act, Gracie Abrams, Taylor says ‘goodbye’ – ‘Good riddance’ – to the past from a place of joy.
