I like the songs and its vibe/soul when listening Taylor Swift’s early albums.

Whether those are country or pop or teen or love songs, I really (and still) get hooked by:

  1. its simple melodies (but not so colorful but at least appreciative),
  2. its simple sounds/instruments (but not so magnificent but at least interesting),
  3. and its really awesome lyrics and its story by her.
  4. and of course her voice (not so astounding nor distinct but at least very good)

So, her songs has really influenced my musical preference especially when growing up.

So now,

despite maybe because I’m already adult or because I’m not well anymore gathering new music,

I’m still looking for new music/song/album or new/current other music artists with that kind such as hers—

—as I hardly create for myself my playlist of current (at least 2020-present) music. Of course, I want a diversity of awesome and beautiful music (rock, alternative, grunge, urban or “RNB” such as Ne-Yo, disco and soft and so more). But I haven’t been amazed/hooked by the current music I’m receiving/hearing anywhere today. I have tried to keep listening those from the charts, mainstream playlists or most mentioned artists, yet I haven’t been amazed like how I did by Taylor’s despite I’m not really a fan of her.

So if you could introduce someone to me to search, Are there any other “new” music or new/current artists with that kind such as hers (artists likely endorsed by her as I already consider her a great artist)?

It does not really have to be so much similar to her songs (so it can be grunge, ballad or urban). I’m referring to the “vibe/soul/somewhat-acting-as-if-I-musically-feel-that-there’s-a-drama-scene-or-personality/sound/something I can’t clearly describe sorry” upon the songs that she’s singing/playing.

So to understand what I’m referring to, here are selected current songs I like and still keep playing are:

  1. “Until I Found You” by Stephen Sanchez (way mostly among the current ones, I’m single 😉 btw—what I mean is that song is a sentimental love song for rejoicing love couples, and I felt attached even I don’t have a girlfriend.)
  2. “Here With Me” by d4vd (becoming less frequently)
  3. “Spark” by Ed Sheeran (becoming less frequently)
  4. “Foolish One” by Taylor Swift
  5. “Vampire” by Olive Rodrigo (I’m not sure as I’m getting hooked right now) 6 “Say So” by Doja Cat (becoming less frequently)
  6. … That’s it I can fondly recall. I have tried to think from 2020 farther. But that’s it I bravely mentioned.

I will just bravely mention some (too much so 22) selected (ouch-old/past) popular songs that I straight recall and like and songs that I keep mesmerizing and playing in my repeating playlist (just to reveal partially at least and hint my preference):

  1. “So Sick” by Neyo
  2. “Just the Way You Are” and “It Will Rain” by Bruno Mars
  3. “Thinking Out Loud” by Ed Sheeran
  4. “Chasing Pavements” by Adele
  5. “Your Guardian Angel” by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (And I miss those rock songs)
  6. “Bad Day” by Daniel Powter
  7. “This Love” and “I Won’t Go Home Without You” by Maroon 5 (also miss hearing such kind)
  8. “Complicated” and “I’m With You” by Avril Lavigne
  9. “Two Less Lonely People in the World” and “Even the Nights Are Better” and “Here I Am” by Air Supply (one of artist I like most)
  10. “If You Asked Me To” and “I Love You” by Celine Dion
  11. “Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number” by Aaliyah (I just ignore its unwanted lyrics.)
  12. “You’re My Inspiration” by Chicago (I like listening other songs similar to this another kind)
  13. “Never Forget You” and “Always Be My Baby” by Mariah Carey (I’m a real fan)
  14. “Gonna Get Along Without You Now” by Skeeter Davis
  15. “Lover’s Moon” and “The One You Love” by Glenn Frey
  16. “Take A Bow” and “Unfaithful” by Rihanna
  17. “Sometimes” by Britney Spears
  18. “Don’t Say You Love Me” and “Old Town @ MTV” by the Corrs
  19. “I Will Always Love You” by Dolly Parton (more than Whitney)
  20. “I’m Saving All My Love For You” by Whitney Houston
  21. “Kiss Me” and “Don’t Dream It’s Over” by Sixpence None The Richer
  22. “When You’re Gone” and “Zombie” by The Cranberries
  23. … of course many more and more but I will just stop here.

    I have been obsessed with Vampire, it’s so damn catchy and I can’t get it out of my head. i was hesitant to be excited for Guts because a lot of times artists go in their own heads and can’t pull off album 2, but this time it sounds like it’s going to be out of the park

      And now, while having my Olivia’s music marathon still, there’s already Billie Eilish’s new song “What I Was Made For?”. Good treats maybe are coming!!!
