I think I finally know why a lot of ppl think the 1989 TV tracks are not "true vault tracks". I think it's because she's singing these songs using her lower register A LOT whereas her voice in 1989 original was really lighter and very girly due to age but also because she wasnt tapping into her lower register as much at that point! I bet if she sang them with a lighter tone it would heavily help make it sound cohesive to the original albums sound!

I think it’s more so that the lyrics are very wordy and descriptive, whereas the rest of 1989 is very basic and watered-down. Sonically, the songs also sound more like 3AM Midnights edition.

I didn’t like it at first, but I actually love it now. I think the first verse is easily the worst part and sounds kinda meh, but from the first chorus and on it’s so good actually :jonny: 

 

“I am standing in a 1950s gymnasium” with all the vocal layering sounds so good I- :jonny:

People dont seem to grasp that the Vault tracks are new songs that just happened to be written back then. They were not really meant to be the exact form they just came out in back then.

 

Dont You being on Fearless while being produced as a pop song is a testament to this. Or You All Over Me having melody changes compared to the demo that leaked from back in the day. She just took demos from that era and completed them as fully formed songs but taking creative liberties with them!

Do we think the rep vault tracks will be unreal?

I feel like she took out a lot of the more first half angry loud Rep songs from the initial album release for fear of being too 'out there'. Now that she's older and her fanbase is more solidified and normalizing the curses and whatnot, I'm willing to bet most of the Vault songs will be her cursing and just being angry as hell to fire trap beats. Give us Mustard on the Beat and an EDM producer please!

was kendrick so expensive that she couldn't afford any vault features?

 

i suppose hayley, patrick, maren, keith, phoebe, and chris might not be overly pricy.

hmm...i guess it depends. generally, the stuff that's been in the vault is stuff that was either considered not good enough for the initial record (the majority i would guess), redundant (better man, run, sl*t!) or clashing with her personal narrative and/or the albums narrative (nothing new, i can see you, castles crumbling, is it over now?). we know she took a unique approach to writing rep, in that it's her first (and only?) album where she started with a title and moodboard of sorts, and wrote around that. from that, i kinda suspect that she didnt write too much that necessarily is out of the boundaries of what we know the album to be (the character songs + the love songs), but if there's anything "unreal", i imagine it's stuff she wrote for those sides that maybe broke the rules she set. character songs that maybe ended up being a bit too real and angry and vindictive compared to IDSB/LWYMMD, or songs about her and joe's love with more intimate details than stuff like dress/CIWYW.

 

part of me wants to imagine she'll include a few songs in that vein, but i'm a little fearful she won't. the kimye/snakegate stuff obviously was one of the worst times of her life, and i remember during the RS lover era interview where she has to stop herself from talking about it. i feel like its something that she never wants to touch again even with a 10 foot pole lmao. and joe...its not necessarily her job to guard joe from anything just bc he was her partner for the longest time, but idk if she'll really want to put out some intimate details out there. ig we'll see in a few months!

People actually seem to like this vault, none of her other vault songs were doing this well. Finally some taste! They are the best ones (red is still first  to me but this is a close 2nd).

I wonder if she’ll remaster all of the TV’s sometime down the road…

7.7 from p4k, same as OG

 

I mean under an 8.0 is still quite insulting considering 1989 is widely acclaimed and even credited with kickstarting the Poptimism wave, but it could’ve been way worse so I’ll take it

The craziest thing to me is that there isn’t a single Max song leftover from 1989. How are they all Jack

And the production :jonny:It takes me to the after hours club when the music shifts to a light, magical almost heavenly trance beat.

Also why didn’t Shellback assist with production like he has on every other Max and him song?

Nawt P4k kinda pointing exactly what I thought about 1989 TV as a whole..

 

This is how you view 1989 TV : Taylor had to market this album as her "solo era" "carefree" album because of media scrutiny when it's really about her breakup with Harry...with added tracks it gives more context overall and clear view about what it really was... and that's why 1989 TV is amazing because none of her previous TVs didn't do this kind of thing

I'm having such a moment with Wonderland and I Know Places

 

:WAP:

 

Both songs have an eerie creepy vibe. Perfect for Halloween.

I’ve been saying this since it was announced, but I’m glad there weren’t any features.
