    Another AMAZING album by the queen Taylor Swift. Lover is the definition of pop perfection and is a must listen. Full of bops and slower more emotional songs. The lyrics on this album are some of Taylor's best. A must buy!!!

    This album is Taylor Swift’s best to date. It brings back her masterful lyrics and playful tunes to convey not just happiness and love but heartbreak and pain. She write a simple but extremely emotional ballad about her mothers fight with cancer but also cheers her ‘lover’ on.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Quise ahorrarme este post pero la verdad me sentí con el compromiso social de compartir con ustedes mi opinión de este discazo de la cultura pop. Hace tiempo no había un disco que me gustara tanto como #Lover así que aunque nadie lo pidió aquí está mi reseña jaja... porque en verdad tienen que escucharlo al menos una vez en su vida. Todos sabemos que Taylor Swift ha sido multi -awarded por la narrativa y la letra en sus canciones así que esperen un disco “tranquilo” para escuchar en un date, una reunión o mientras viajan en el tráfico (no esperen un disco lleno de sintetizadores y coros pegajosos para bailar)

    En general este disco está lleno de romanticismo (lo describe el nombre) pero también hay canciones que hablan de problemas sociales como los derechos se la comunidad LGBT con “You need to calm down”, el feminismo con “The Man” y la Guerra contra el Cancer con “Soon you’ll be better” y de entrada eso ya es un plus. Canciones como “False God” y “it’s nice to have a friend” tienen sonidos más experimentales, usa el sax, guitarra, y hasta marimbas. “Lover” y “Daylight” son las que tienen que dedicar si están enamorados. La verdad si se detienen a pensar que todo al rededor es reggaetón y thank you, next, este álbum esta lleno de narrativa, buen sonido y buenos estribillos.

    Por último las que mejor si sáltense son “ME!” y “Afterglow”

    Mis favoritas:
    * Lover
    * False God
    * Miss Americana and the heartbreak prince Suerte chavos, me cuentan qué les pareció...    … Expand

'Lover', the title track, melts our hearts with the true love we all dream of finding. Now 'The Man' shared the very real(!) issue for women in the music industry and how if she was a man, she would be THE Man! She shares her fear for her mother Andrea and how much she needs her in 'Soon You'll Get Better'. And of course blesses us with another jam in the form of 'Paper Rings'! I personally can't not love 'London Boy' as it namedrops many of the places in the city which I love! I won't describe every song but remember... Step into the Daylight and let it go! Lover is it!!

Her lyrics, melodies, and heart are the blood, sweat, and tears to this album that contains some of her best writing in years. The title track is a timeless love song that commands the attention of the entire room; the album has the same effect. Flawless.

    Taylor has outdone herself, as the world is used to see. The album is absolutely brilliant, and the romantic vibe will affect even the most frozen of hearts. Her songs seem to leak happiness, not leaving out her take on important issues, such as sexism in the music industry and LGBTQs rights. It's her greatest one yet, and her fans will love even more if it's also her most successful of date.

It makes you want to scream the lyrics from the roof of an apartment in New York City. There is nothing comparable to the feeling of hearing Swift’s deep growls in ‘Cruel Summer’ for the first time, listening to the passion and longing in her voice. The production behind each of the songs combined with the masterful lyricism from Swift is something to admire. The length of this album is fitting for this era of Swift’s life, giving us a glimpse of how she is and the things she is dealing with away from the sight of the media. This album is deserving of all the praise in the world. Congratulations.… Expand

    Shut up Lana stans. This album is one of her best ever. Every song is different, the lyrics are beautiful, the production is mind-blowing and the messages she sends in each song are amazing. Even if you don’t like Taylor, this album is easily the best of this year. So sit down, shut up and streamLover.

    The lovely ballad “Lover”
    the catchy childish vibes from “Me”
    The emotional “The Archer” and “Cornelia Street”
    etc.

    The way Taylor continues to grow as and artist and a person and is consistently able to achieve even more emotional depth and nuance with each new album is absolutely remarkable, especially when so much of the meaning is in the lyrical subtext of what, at first glance, might appear to be "just a pop album." Taylor has elevated what pop music can do and, as a songwriter, has become a voiceThe way Taylor continues to grow as and artist and a person and is consistently able to achieve even more emotional depth and nuance with each new album is absolutely remarkable, especially when so much of the meaning is in the lyrical subtext of what, at first glance, might appear to be "just a pop album." Taylor has elevated what pop music can do and, as a songwriter, has become a voice of a generation of young people who have grown up with her, who have experienced hardships and heartbreaks along with her. She has given hope to a generation of people who have looked at the world around them and felt the same horror and hopelessness that she expresses in this album—in the absolute kindest, most Swiftian way possible, she has encouraged us all to fight back. This album is a capstone on top of an already extraordinary body of work, a more mature exploration of challenges and pain and anxieties that are simultaneously deeply personal and intimate while also being completely universal. Lover displays everything she has learned (every lesson, every guitar string scar on her hands) throughout her career with grace and love and joy, and truly exemplifies the best of Taylor Swift and shows us why there is no one like her in this business.… Expand

    The BEST album of Taylor Swift until so far! I love how she wrote these lyrics with real emotions and complexity. You can feel emotional spectrum from one album which has to be the most amazing experience. A must-listen this year.

She also addresses politics (in support of the LGBTQ+ community in You Need To Calm Down and then through Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince with a brilliant metaphorical high school meant to be about America). She is very open and emotional in this album whether singing about love (such as in the title track), fears and pain (such as in Cornelia Street and The Archer and Soon You’ll Get Better), or a myriad of other emotions.… Expand

    Taylor Swift's Lover is so variant and colorful it shows how much she's grown up as a person after her 13-year-old music career.

    It’s an album that screams out for an editor, but when it hits the right notes, it demonstrates just why Taylor Swift is one of the biggest pop stars in the world.

    Ultimately, Lover is overstuffed and meandering, but serves as a positive reprieve from her past struggles in the public eye, and represents an artist at the peak of her creativity, power, and—one hopes—continued romantic bliss.

    Lover is a fabulous record, full of super-fun standout pop hits that make your heart burst. It oozes with Swift’s much more palatable upbeat sass. She’s in love and also thinking about different kinds of love.
