Taylor Swift,all but 16 years of age, released her debut self-titled album at the fall of 2006.A year later, she finally gets the spotlight with a Grammy nomination,multiple top 10 singles and #1 multi-platinum album. Although her voice isn't as strong as her fame may suggest,she oozes with attitude and has a fine songwriting gift.
When i first listened to her album I was immediately reminded of pop-country star Michelle Branch. Michelle too had started her career at a tender age with similar songwriting style(all about teenage angst and love) and high energy vocals. In fact Michelle happens to be one of Taylor's influences as a budding star.
You can tell that Taylor Swift cares about the integrity of the music, and not just making money with the Nashville machine(For those who didn't know , country musicians are usually the highest paid musicians in the industry). The album in my opinion was overproduced. But i suppose that's how the industry works now
adays with producers taking no chances with young artists' debuts.Album highlights include:
- Tim McGraw
- Teardrops On My Guitar
- The Outside
- Our Song
If you liked this,try these!!
- Michelle Branch
- Miranda Lambert
- Kellie Pickler
