Taylor Swift – Lover [2 LP, Black Vinyl]

‘Lover’ is the seventh studio album by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, released on August 23, 2019, by Republic Records. It is her first album after her departure from Big Machine Records, which caused a public dispute over the ownership of Swift’s past albums.

Swift recorded ‘Lover’ after finishing her 2018 ‘Reputation’ Stadium Tour, having recalibrated her personal life and artistic direction following the public controversies that preceded her previous studio album, ‘Reputation’ (2017).

She produced Lover with Jack Antonoff, Joel Little, Louis Bell, and Frank Dukes. Described by Swift as a “love letter to love”, the album explores wide-ranging emotions like infatuation, commitment, lust, and heartache; a few songs discuss political issues such as LGBT rights and feminism.

The production incorporates a 1980s-inspired electropop, pop rock, and synth-pop sound characterized by atmospheric synthesizers, mid-tempo rhythms, and acoustic instruments, with eclectic elements of country, folk, and funk.
