Taylor Swift album review Fearless

Three years after her surprising 3 million-selling (and counting) self-titled debut, Taylor Swift’s second album, Fearless, is a superb sophomore effort jam-packed from beginning to end with potential hit singles. And though she still can’t seem to catch a break from the fickle and cruel boys in her algebra and social studies classes, Swift now appears better equipped to process the trials and tribulations of high school heartache.Lacking much of the over-the-top vengeance found on her excellent debut album, Taylor Swift , Swift’s songwriting is more restrained and subtle on Fearless (she wrote or co-wrote every song on the album). Her songs are heartfelt narratives set to well-produced and structured music with the subject of love the common theme—be it love for a boy, love for her parents, or the thoughtful love of trying to protect a young girl from making the same mistakes she has. Sometimes naïve and always age-appropriate, it’s refreshing to hear a talented artist, especially a young woman in the skanked-up era of Britney and The Pussycat Dolls, spill her heart out on the table with such believable honesty. And that she’s doing this without the aid of a hit television show on the Disney Channel to back her up is a testament to her immense talent. Sure, she’s still singing predominately to the pep rally crowd, and she’s already proven herself a master at writing radio-friendly hits, but with Fearless, Swift has also announced to the world that she is a bona-fide singer-songwriter with important things to say, one whose wisdom belies her still very young.
