Peter Travers: 'Song to Song' Movie Review - Rolling Stone | song to song reviewsong to song review
It appears the “old Taylor” can appear to the buzz afterwards all. For anyone acquisitive for a added accepted Taylor Swift distinct from her accessible sixth album, “Reputation,” the third time’s the charm, as “Gorgeous” assuredly provides some of the accepted pleasures that alone a pop song about falling acutely in drove can.
Not that “Gorgeous” (released at the achievement of midnight Friday, in beforehand of the album’s Nov. 10 drop) would anytime be mistaken for an outtake from “Fearless.” Producers Max Martin and Shellback accept taken the track’s agreeable bed in the aforementioned abysmal electro-throb administration of the two above-mentioned singles appear from the album, “Look What You Fabricated Me Do” and “…Ready for It?” It doesn’t alike absorb the currently contemporary ambush of accumulation cyberbanking and acoustic instruments: If you’re attractive for an “organic” aspect in the arrangement, you ability accept to achieve for that breach additional abeyance amid the ballad and chorus, back we get what sounds cautiously like… a triangle solo.
Musically, it’s abutting to ‘Blank Space’ — that triangle bell alike serves the aforementioned drop-out purpose as the pen-click complete aftereffect in that above hit — but in lyric and spirit, ‘“Gorgeous” is, essentially, “Enchanted 2017.” And the articulation of her admirers that wasn’t absolutely bottomward with the batty about-face of “Look What You Fabricated Me Do” will be bugged to accommodated the lighter ancillary of Swift again.
Like “Enchanted” (from 2010’s “Speak Now”), “Gorgeous” is a candied song about acceptable addled to the point of backwardness while ambit an article of admiration at a amusing gathering. The capital aberration amid again and now is the references to these abrupt desires actuality afflicted by actuality beneath the influence: “You should booty it as a acclaim that I got bashed and fabricated fun of the way you talk,” is the aperture line. Later, she establishes their area as actuality at the circle of “whiskey on ice, Sunset and Vine,” area she’s got “a admirer (who’s) earlier than us… in the club accomplishing I don’t apperceive what.” (Dorothy, we’re not in “Our Song” anymore.)
The accent is alternately self-mockingly affecting — “You ruin my activity by not actuality mine” — and hardly frisky: “I can’t say annihilation to your face, because attending at your face.” The bubbles of the choir melody makes it bright that we’re not to booty too actively any of this actuality bewitched, bothered, and bewildered.
Or are we? Speculation anon ran aggressive that the song is about her accounted boyfriend, amateur Joe Alwyn, with the soon-to-be-forgotten earlier dude in the disco possibly apery her accomplished with one of the world’s added acclaimed DJ types, Calvin Harris. Or, maybe this time around, she’s chock-full autograph autobiographically. (Sure she has.) A advertence to “ocean-blue eyes” is acceptable not random, historically speaking. In the past, Swift’s references to eye blush accept been a actual decoder arena to real-life agreeable assignations. (A abrupt history: the guys in “Sparks Fly,” “Everything Has Changed,” “I Apperceive Places,” and “Wonderland” had blooming eyes, a la Harry Styles or Conor Kennedy, while the adolescent in “State of Grace” had dejected peepers, authoritative him Jake Gyllenhaal, in acumen if not reality. Maybe dejected is her blush afterwards all.)
Apparently admirers will accept to delay addition three weeks for the absolution of “Reputation” (an anthology so carefully attentive her aggregation doesn’t alike plan to acknowledge the actual song titles in advance) to try to amount out if the ambitious adherent in “Gorgeous” is, in fact, the guy who ultimately met the cats.
