Fearless (Audio CD)

Customer Review

Honestly, I was surprised that Taylor Swift has snatched the Grammy for Best Country Album of the Year with her album -Fearless-. Not that I would have the 20th of Tennesse begrudged the price. But if this Countrypop album the crown snatched the Country area, who were then the competitors in this otherwise very strong field music division? At the risk of making me a little unpopular, I think -Fearless- for a really good album. When it but compares with Silberlingen the Dixie Chicks or Lucinda Williams, then you have to prune a piece of the Grammysiegerin. This quality Taylor Swift has not (yet) offer. But who knows the woman is young and can still achieve a lot.

As for the music on -Fearless-, so the album with -Fearless-, a Countrypopballade with banjo accompaniment starts. -Fifteen- Is a real teen anthem, in the hearts of schoolgirls be beat. -Love Story- is a class pop song. -Hey Stephenson is one of my favorites on the album and has almost singer-songwriter qualities. -White Horse- is a wonderfully successful ballad. -You Belong with me- has its roots buried deep in the Country area. Narrow orchestrated and sung magnificently comes -Breathe-. In -Tell me why- hit by rock elements. -You're Not sorry- is how all ballads on the album, a class of its own. -Forever And is Always- again this typical Countrypopstil of Taylor Swift and thus some other pieces on the album are very similar. -The Best day- shows once again insistently that a guitar and a suitable voice enough to produce a good song. -Change- Do not quite know which genre it should be classified. -Our Song lands forcefully quickly in the ear canals. -Teardrops On my guitar- is another one of those unmistakable songs on the player. -Should've Said no- is the "bouncers" on Fearless. A song that not only musically, but also lyrically strongly reminiscent of the Dixie Chicks.

Which brings us at the end. Taylor Swift has certainly not reinvented the Countrypop. What bothers me a bit, is the sweetest blonde-ideal world image that you missed the record company. That seems strange in Europe, fits in the States, however perfect in the Country drawer inside. Taylor Swift's voice is good, but does not reach their (presumed) models Natalie Maines or LeAnn Rimes (yet). -Fearless- Is a good album that I would personally settle much closer in the field of pop as in the field Country. Let's see what the future holds.
