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:
- its simple melodies ~(but~ ~not~ ~so~ ~colorful~ ~but~ ~at~ ~least~ ~appreciative)~,
- its simple sounds/instruments ~(but~ ~not~ ~so~ ~magnificent~ ~but~ ~at~ ~least~ ~interesting)~,
- and its really awesome lyrics and its story by her.
- 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:
- "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.)
- "Here With Me" by d4vd (becoming less frequently)
- "Spark" by Ed Sheeran (becoming less frequently)
- "Foolish One" by Taylor Swift
- "Vampire" by Olive Rodrigo (I'm not sure as I'm getting hooked right now) 6 "Say So" by Doja Cat (becoming less frequently)
- ... 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):
- "So Sick" by Neyo
- "Just the Way You Are" and "It Will Rain" by Bruno Mars
- "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran
- "Chasing Pavements" by Adele
- "Your Guardian Angel" by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (And I miss those rock songs)
- "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter
- "This Love" and "I Won't Go Home Without You" by Maroon 5 (also miss hearing such kind)
- "Complicated" and "I'm With You" by Avril Lavigne
- "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)
- "If You Asked Me To" and "I Love You" by Celine Dion
- "Age Ain't Nothing But a Number" by Aaliyah (I just ignore its unwanted lyrics.)
- "You're My Inspiration" by Chicago (I like listening other songs similar to this another kind)
- "Never Forget You" and "Always Be My Baby" by Mariah Carey (I'm a real fan)
- "Gonna Get Along Without You Now" by Skeeter Davis
- "Lover's Moon" and "The One You Love" by Glenn Frey
- "Take A Bow" and "Unfaithful" by Rihanna
- "Sometimes" by Britney Spears
- "Don't Say You Love Me" and "Old Town @ MTV" by the Corrs
- "I Will Always Love You" by Dolly Parton (more than Whitney)
- "I'm Saving All My Love For You" by Whitney Houston
- "Kiss Me" and "Don't Dream It's Over" by Sixpence None The Richer
- "When You're Gone" and "Zombie" by The Cranberries
- ... of course many more and more but I will just stop here.
