Taylor Swift - Fearless

Featuring her hit single, 'Love Story', here's our review of Taylor Swift's debut UK album, 'Fearless'.


What's it like?

While few country artists breakthrough in the UK these days, it looks like Taylor could be the exception to the rule, as her single, 'Love Story' has already reached No.2 on the hit40uk countdown.

So how has she managed to do what others before her haven't? Well, a partial explanation could be that her single, 'Love Story' has had its country 'twang' toned down a little, but compared to the version sent to pop stations in the States, it's a very subtle remix.

The truth is, her music, while quite obviously country-inspired, is essentially acoustic guitar-based pop and, having co-written the entire album herself, it's delivered in a way which is so authentic, it's extremely hard to dislike.


What's good about it?

In an industry saturated by successful female artists, her sheer talent shines throughout the duration of this record and makes her stand out a mile. Her vocal style is both unique and effortless and the majority of the sixteen songs are instantly memorable.

Beautiful ballad, 'You're Not Sorry' is remarkably sincere, while the likes of 'Our Song' and the album's title track show she's got a real knack for writing a catchy melody.


What's bad about it?

'Fifteen', with its overly simplistic lyrics, doesn't quite live up to the quality of the rest of the album.

    The album consists of sixteen songs, each one catchy and beautiful.

    The amount of talent Taylor has is phenomenal! Her album is definitely worth the money, I would recommend it any day!

  6. This album is AMAZING!
    Shes so incredibly talented and is only 19 and wrote or co wrote every song on this album.
    She is so inspirational for girls my age and I will always look up to her as a role model and every girl can relate to her songs!
    I suggest everyone should go and buy it, its worth the money!

  7. i love her album and i actually think the track fifteen is amazing. I guess the lyrics are kinda obvious but the song really reaches out to girls at that age and the tune is beautiful.

  9. Her album is truly amazing.

    People probably just think another teen pop princess trying to make it big-but she'll just fade away like the rest.

    She has her own unique style and unlike other teen artists she's into country not pop.

    Also if you listen to her lyrics they have such feelings and emotions it makes me proud to be a fan.

    I truly admire her for her work, talent, and spirit.
