First evaluation
4/5

She takes listeners on a rollercoaster trip of emotion as she candidly tells the tales of tumultuous relationships.

No tune is a greater instance of this than No Physique, No Crime, with HAIM, which begins with police sirens and leads you to consider a husband has killed his spouse – paying homage to the long-lasting Stan by Eminem.
However proper on the finish she offers the sucker-punch twist worthy of a Bafta award-winning drama.
Dorothea and Marjorie usually are not solely names we haven’t heard in years but in addition songs by Taylor on the album that makes you realise we’ve additionally been lacking this kind of high quality in music for some time.
The penultimate monitor, Closure, does simply that – giving us an excellent efficiency in direction of the tip of a passionate journey.
