But I wasn’t sure it would be included on the album. She said she loved it and her mum loved it. There was no assistant there was no engineer. Taylor: The coolest thing about Imogen for me was that there was no one else in the studio. But after we lived with it for a few months, we felt it was great. We always thought she would probably re-record it, because we thought it can’t possibly be that easy.
She did two takes, and the second take was it. She recorded all her vocals during that one session. I put some noises to, played various instruments on it, including drums, and anytime she expressed she liked something I was doing, I did it more. Imogen: I was really writing the tiniest amount just to help her do what she does. Instead of trying to block out the storm you punch a hole in the roof and just let all the rain come in, and when you wake up in the morning, it’s washed away. Taylor: I had this metaphor in my head about being in this house, there’s been a drought but you feel like there’s a storm coming. She had the bare bones of “Clean.” She had the lyric, the chorus and the chords. Imogen Heap (co-producer/co-engineer): We met at my studio in London. And Max and I were going to oversee it, and we were going to make a sonically cohesive record again. It wasn’t going to be ten producers, it was going to be a very small team of four or five people I always wanted to work with, or loved working with. But with 1989 I decided to narrow down the list. and I called 1989. I’ve been making ’80s synth pop, I’m just gonna do that. Taylor Swift (artist/co-producer): I woke up at 4 a.m. What follows is a collage of answers from songwriters, producers,m engineers and musicians who worked on the album, as well as from the artist herself. and netted the seven-time GRAMMY winner seven total 58th GRAMMY nominations.

To realize her dream of song, she invited Max Martin, Shellback, Imogen Heap and Jack Antonoff to work with her. To create a “sonically cohesive record” using the sounds and sonics of the year of her birth, a time of synths, programmed drums and passionate melodies. But with the input of various producer-writers on each song.īut she was very much in charge of this project, which was based on a vision that awakened her in the middle of the night with sudden clarity. She is collaborator on these songs for 1989, but all of the songs started with her and were shaped by her as they developed. It lost that award to Billie Eilish and Finneas for “Bad Girl,” something which her legion of fans found to be very wrong. On her 2019 album Lover, she wrote three songs alone: “Cornelia Street,” “Daylight” and the title song, “Lover,” which was nominated for the Best Song at the 2020 Grammy. Though she has collaborated often on her famous songs over the years, and others as well, she has written alone as well. Taylor became the first female solo artist to ever win the Album of the Year Grammy twice.Īlthough it’s often assumed that though her name is listed on each song as songwriter, that her inclusion is mostly honorary, and that the actual work was done by real songwriters and producers.

And sometimes, as was the case with 1989 by Taylor Swift, it takes a global village.įrom Sweden to New York City to London to Nashville and beyond, 1989 represents a true team effort.

The full album surfaced online three days before the scheduled release on Friday, October 24. Before the album release, Taylor dropped two "countdown" singles "Out of the Woods" and "Welcome to New York". The “1989” official release will be preceded by only one single, the lead single "Shake It Off". Producers on the album have been Jack Antonoff, Max Martin, Shellback, Ryan Tedder and Noel Zancanella. The deluxe edition will be only available on iTunes and Target. “1989” will contain 13 tracks on its standard edition and 16 on the deluxe (the deluxe also includes 3 other songs that are actually "voice memo" recordings of songs from the standard edition). The majority of songs on "1989” have been inspired by Taylor’s failed relationship with One Direction star Harry Styles.
A daring move? The album is scheduled for worldwide release on October 27 via Big Machine Records/Universal. “ 1989” is the fifth studio album of recording artist Taylor Swift.
