    Folklore no sigue una secuencia interesante. Mientras más avanzan las canciones, más deseas que termine pronto. Un álbum para poner en los velorios.

    Not the usual sound for Taylor but it really suits her voice though. And the lyrics of this album is above and beyond. It'll definitely give you chills.

    This album is one of the best she has written because it captures her feelings from the depths of her being, also the notes she makes are perfectly angelic and the sounds are charming

    A beautiful album in which swift experiments with a new sound, stepping away from pop and towards a new alternative sound, and it totally pays off. The songwriting throughout the whole album is stunning and so impressive, possibly her best. There isn’t one song I don’t love, my highlights are Illicit Affairs, Betty and August

    A cohesive album with her most mature and beautiful songwriting. My favorite tracks are “cardigan”, “the 1”, and “exile”. Make sure to give it a listen!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is an album that shows a version of Taylor Swift out of pop, more vulnerable. In this album, she tells us a story that in spite of being simple, they calm down and sound melodic. It's a work that was worth listening to, it has a fantastic and powerful voice.
    Great work!    … Expand

    Essas são músicas maravilhosamente, cheias de empatia por personagens oprimidos, agredidos pela vida, mas sempre prontos para lutar, superando a distância social com melodias langorosas e emoções profundas. O bloqueio pode ter sido um momento terrível para a música e para os músicos, mas resultou no álbum mais poderoso e maduro de Taylor Swift até hoje.

    Beautiful, magic, tragic folklore.... Taylor Swift knows how to change the narrative of what she wants to say, to sing and to live. Every album is different in its way because she has always tried to put her stories in lyrics which can fit with harmony.

    This is Taylor most raw, honest, pure album she ever made. It feels like a pouring rain in your ears but with a soft voice that calm you even while you listen all the deep lyrics that she shot like a rifle to your brain. This is sad, beautiful and tragic. Taylor showed her potencial to writting, and we ask: Gaga would do it best? We don't think so.
    TAYLOR GOT THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR!

    After all these years, Taylor still finds new ways to amaze and impress me. Even if she never released this album, the world would still have recognized her as one of the greatest songwriters of our time, but what ‘folklore’ does is cement Taylor into an even higher status as a writer and leaves no questions as to why she’s regarded as this century’s greatest storyteller.

Add beautiful production from Antonoff, Dessner, and even Swift herself, and you have an amazing album full of indie/folk/acoustic music that is unlike anything she has ever put out. ‘Folklore’ is truly a career topping highlight.… Expand

    As a Taylor Swift fan since 2006 I am sure many will assume bias in my review. However, I did not give this album a 10 simply because of my love and adoration for this talented singer. Instead it is due to the songs strong melodies and beautifully written stories. This album is unlike anything she has ever done. Gone are the funky beats and polished songs in hopes of grabbing mass media attention. There are no calculated or strategically well placed moves with the release of this album. Rather than hidden Easter eggs, weeks or even months of promotion, Taylor released this album just hours after it's announcement. A smart movie as it stands on it's own. Stories written like poetry, letters and untold memories; this music is no longer about just one girl but the lives of those who have touched her along the way. It is fresh and though you won't be pumping it as you drive down the beach, with your top down, these are songs I have already found myself dancing to in the kitchen in the middle of the night. Mirrorball sounds as though it has been stripped right out of an 80's movie, slow dance, prom scene. There is tension, angst and a beat that you find yourself swaying to as you carefully step around the house. Exile is a hard hitting ballad that leaves your heart aching. Rather than her typical high notes and guitar rift love songs, this one is stripped and painful in the beautiful. The honesty leaves you with goosebumps as you picture your own young romance and the way it, most likely, fell apart. Every song bring a new character, story or imagery that is vividly painted with talented words. This album is Taylor Swift at her best, almost touching upon roots, to create something that his honest and pure. It's folky mysteriousness leaves you feeling as though you have been transported to a whole other world and for sixty three minutes and twenty nine seconds you are anywhere else other than where you really are. Taylor has always had the ability to write lines that hit hard and touch people in a way many artist can accomplish. While the musical styling might be different with Folklore, her ability to pack the same punch is not lost.    … Expand

    It's a sharp turn to the left for Swift and a fine reminder that she is more than just a gleaming pop phenomenon, but a remarkable songwriter too. [Oct 2020, p.36]

    A modern-folk masterpiece which finds her moving from her previous pop bangers into stunningly simple yet sharp melodies, ‘folklore’ will be going down in Swiftie history as one of her most unexpected, and undoubtedly one of her best.

    These 16 tracks (17 on the deluxe version) play out quite pleasurably in their entirety, the joins between Swift, Dessner and Antonoff ultimately only of niche interest. But Swift’s powerful songs reach their climaxes with bittersweet orchestrations, rather than blows to the solar plexus or a ringing in the ears. Everything hovers; little truly lands.
