The new version sounds more luxurious and opaque - wiser, somehow. 'Clean (Taylor's Version)' manages to recapture the magic, while also making space for a few extra flourishes. But true Swifties know how special it is.

Heap also provides backing harmonies throughout the song, which give 'Clean' a haunting quality.

Heap used unique instruments to achieve the rippling, rain-like production: a mbira (a thumb piano) and 'these things called boomwhackers, which are for the percussion,' Swift explained in a Grammy Pro video. Thankfully, 'Clean' achieves all of the above I previously ranked it as the fourth-best breakup song in Swift's discography.Ĭowritten and produced by Imogen Heap, 'Clean' is an outlier on the tracklist in the best possible way.

Swift could rerelease the song every seven years and it would still sound pretty and heartbreaking and prophetic, like a movie you can't help but watch over and over - or sunset-colored memories that follow you around. Or, perhaps more accurately, it doesn't belong to any time. The whole thing seemed to prove my long-held suspicion that 'Wildest Dreams' was ahead of its time. How could I not get emotional about Swift reclaiming the sound of her own pulse? Her plea to 'remember me' knocked the wind out of my chest, like it was my first time ever hearing it. Swift's rerecorded vocals still toe the line between fanciful and melancholic - cracks in her fairy-tale facade wrought by fear and preemptive yearning. Immediately, I was amazed by how closely it matched the original. Fans had been reenacting their epiphanies and moments of romantic clarity, soundtracked by the song's passionate bridge.

It's much harder to torment someone when you have to look her in the eyes, knowing that she can hear you. 'Blank Space' is about a character that other people created, but Swift gave her a face. It sounds like Swift owns her failures and flaws, but in fact, she's forcing the general public to reckon with their own worst impulses - the rumors, the assumptions, the sexist double standards - and proving that she understands where those impulses come from, probably better than we do. So it's easy to forget how the song's true genius is lyrical, not melodic.Įvery single line in 'Blank Space' is a zinger, and even better, the listener is the target. 1 for seven weeks when it was originally released, a record for Swift at the time. 'Blank Space' is emphatically, almost disturbingly catchy it charted at No. 'Blank Space' is the second track on '1989 (Taylor's Version).'
