Disadvantages: TIED TOGETHER WITH A SMILE

TAYLOR SWIFT is the title of American pop star TAYLOR SWIFT's album.
The album features 12 tracks.

The opening song TIM MCGRAW is an upbeat number with positive lyrics and uplifting vocals that really shine at the chorus to accompany the soothing melodies.

PICTURE TO BURN tells a good story through the lyrics with the heartfelt emotion expressed in the vocals and good instrumental support.

TEARDROPS ON MY GUITAR borders on having corny lyrics though the smoothness of the instrumental work along with the gentle vocals veers the song away from cheesiness.

PLACE IN THE WORLD has a corking intro which introduces Swift's charming vocals which enter with great energy and finish with vigour at the finale.

COLD AS YOU is a powerful track with emotive lyrics and a rhythm that bounces alongside the melodies.

OUTSIDE contains a feel good factor especially at the chorus which you can sing along with created by the fast paced beat.

TIED TOGETHER WITH A SMILE is a weaker track with less energy and cheesy lyrics which only Swift's vocals save from disaster.

STAY BEAUTIFUL is an inspiring song with haunting vocals that relax you while listening and the instrumental work breathes extra life at the chorus.

My favourite song on the album is SHOULD'VE SAID NO as Swift's vocals are on top form and the guitar work is immense adding an extra edge as well as having a beautiful chorus.

MARY'S SONG captures the album's country feel perfectly with a fun vibe and a good fast paced beat that has a positive vibe.

OUR SONG gets better the more you hear it particularly at the chorus which is mellow and the soothing melodies provide genuine emotion.

The last song on the album is a multimedia track of TIM MCGRAW which is good.

Overall, this is a mellow feel good album. The country feel always creates an uplifting effect combined with Swift's lovely vocals that add a gentleness. The lyrics tell good stories while the instrumental work is solid.

Avaliable from AMAZON at £14.50, SWIFT'S debut album is a success.
