Taylor Swift's 'Folklore' Album Review
Taylor Swift. We know and love her all too well as she unmasked this collection of songs that she had written over the last several months while we've been busy parading around covered up as to avoid any physical connection during this abnormal quarantine. Taylor Swift's 'Folklore' album was released on Thursday evening with less than a twenty-four hour notice. Definitely not what TS fans normally expect. Every and any fan is used to several months of Easter eggs displayed about on every social media platform out there. It gives each one of us an idea(or a plethora of them) to figure out what is soon to take place. But Taylor put a good twist on it this time and sought to 'do the different' just plopping this wholesome goodness onto our very laps.

Taylor Swift floklore Track by Track Breakdown
1. the 1 the 1 (In my interpretation) is a song about thinking about a past love that she wished would have worked out and whishing that they would have ended up together, but sometimes “the greatest loves of all time are over now”. This song is also about personal growth, because when Taylor says “And if you never bled, you’re never gonna grow” which puts on emphases that if we don’t go through pain and hurt, we are never going to learn or grow up. It is just a part of life. This song is great, and I love the nice slow and calm beat that comes along with it. This song and the rest of the album is stripped back, and it really puts a spotlight on the acoustics

Folklore - Taylor Swift
Holy shit guys! Taylor Swift just dropped an album OVER NIGHT, and I was not prepared, but it’s fine, it’s okay! I got this! For whatever reason, I feel drawn to make a review to this album. I am intrigued by the title because there doesn’t seem to be a song on the album called “Folklore”, which makes me think that this album is simply Taylor free writing. It’s possible that a lot of these songs aren’t even about her life, but about random stories or other’s lives, etc. Let’s jump in!

Album Review: 'All Distortions are Intentional' by Neck Deep
2019 was a big year for Neck Deep. With the take off of their cover of "Torn" followed by the hit single "She's a God" Neck Deep started to sky rocket in the streaming numbers. Followed by the releases, the band went on tour for most of 2019 with Blink-182 and Lil Wayne. With the release of their new album, there is a lot to expect to come out the band. Hailing from Wexham, Neck Deep is a band to expect a lot more from. Let's dive into their newest album: All Distortions Are Intentional!

Erutan by Raindancer
Raindancer is an independently released album by Erutan also known as Kate Covington or by her youtube name Katethegreat18. On her youtube channel, she's recorded many covers that are available to to download on her website. A lot of these covers include her own special arrangements. Having already loved her cover of Come Little Children, I decided to explore her more and noticed she had released an album.

Perpetual Desolation by Sins of Thy Beloved
The Sins Of Thy Beloved are a relatively unknown Gothic Doom metal band from Norway formed in 1996 by group of friends Glenn Morten Nordbø, Arild Christensen and Stig Johansen and were originally called Purgatory, which was quite a well used name. Last.FM says there are at least 15 bands that share the name, so it was changed into The Sins Of Thy Beloved. Anita Auglend and Ola Aarrestad joined the band and then they worked on their first demo. Later on Anders Thue and Ingfrid Stensland joined a bit later on leaving with seven of them to work on their albums. But let us not forget another member of the band: Pete Johansen, who does an awesome job on the violins, which was the reason why I loved the albums so much. The violins in the metal music doesn’t sound like something that should work but it does. That’s quite a lot of members to keep up with so here’s the line-up:

Stripped
Christina Aguilera is woman who I admire very much. She's an established pop singer from America who's also known for being a bit naughty. I hope people still remember her. Christina is truly a beautiful and talented woman. No one can take that away from her and she tells us this on Stripped. In this album she works with the likes of Linda Perry, Alicia Keys, Lil Kim and Redman. Stripped is her fourth studio album, though most people consider it her second because they exclude her Christmas and Spanish album. It was released in October 2002 under the label RCA.
