Regardless of your affinity for TayTay, a bit of interesting
activity took place today. Taylor has vowed to re-record all
6 of her original albums, the masters of which are owned by
her hated nemisis (with links to Kanye) Scooter Braun.

I heard about that debacle a few months ago. What a shameful
ordeal for her.

After failing to buy out the catalog 2 seperate times, she is
now recording and releasing the re-recordings. So when you
search Spotify for one of her earlier albums, two matches will
come up, the original and "Taylor's Version." She keeps all
the revenue from the latter.

"Taylor's Version" tag ..very cool. :)

The first release is Love Story, and the reviews are positive.
Taylor didn't change the arrangement at all, the only
difference is the improved fidelity of a modern mix, and the
maturity of her voice coming thru in the vocals.

I listened to 50% of each one. Yes... very similar.

Not a fan per se. The voice doesn't really impress me. She does
sound like a more childlike, boastful and louder Suzanne Vega
though:

Do you know if Swift retained the same musicians from the first
recordings?

Even if your not a fan of my girl Taylor, comparing the two
releases is interesting... and it will be fun to see if her
strategy pays off.

She will do fine. Since present fans will be busy streaming and
listening to both versions for camparison, she will be earning
royalties from both. Some younger new fans may prefer the
younger girlie voice, and old fans may prefer the slightly more
mature sound.

The only other thing that might come back to haunt her is if the
original catalog goes through a re-mastering process and the new
owner tries to undercut Taylor's Versions.

It's pretty clear that in the re-release she's matching her
vocal style from the original recording, but her maturity
still shines thru. Not everyone likes her early Pop-Country
style.

Yeah.. sounds too whiney. I don't like the real-time story-
telling of her lyrics either.

You might enjoy the two acoustic folk albums she released over
the past few months. She and Aaron Dessner (from The
National) worked on them over Quarintine. The albums are
"folklore" and "evermore". Nothing like her pop releases and
good for a cold snowy day.

That sounds pretty good. Will consider an audition.

She'll do fine yes. But I think it entire situation
highlights the many ways that Record Labels have designed in
order to screw artists out of their music. The good news is
that there are so many more ways to self-release these days
and actually get play and attention. Obviously she's wealthy
and popular so has an advantage in all respects. Plus her
highlighting the situation with her fans gets her even more
attention and play.

I went down a little rabbit hole of paino-related videos that
very quickly led me to Rick Beato's stuff. One of the first
one's I watched was "Almost Famous - Why Record Labels Suck-
6oWsgTAXc8U.mp4". It was an example how a big label can ruin
everything.
If you like Taylor S, you may like the lead singer in "I Nine -
Seven Days Of Lonely" There is a similarity.
Another vid entitled "How KATY PERRY 'Was Inspired By' I Mean
COPIED This Song" intrigued me. He's quite a versatile fellow,
operating mixing boards, plays guitar, piano, etc.. I'm going
to check that channel for sure.

I'd actually be very interested in a Boxset of the re-
recordings once they are complete. In a nice binder with
artwork and probably a high price tag. :-)

Someone made a joke about those kinds of collections, that it
was peculiar that a fan of a particular band or artist who
already has all the material in various separate original CDs or
LPs from over the years, would buy the "complete" set re-issues
decades later.
