***ALBUM-OF-THE-YEAR***
#1 | Taylor Swift | Midnights
Republic
Midnights shows that Swift still has a lot to say. In a world where fame at a young age can be a recipe for disaster, she has navigated the industry deftly, not a child of reinvention, like Madonna or Beyoncé, but as an artist deeply rooted in her own style and mythology. It’s a small club of people (David Bowie and Nick Cave come to mind), who were famous musicians in their youth, but continued to create art throughout their lives, with exponentially expanding impact. Midnights is an effervescent addition to Swift’s canon, an intimate glimpse and continuation of her story. [Read Liz Itkowsky’s Review]
