Taylor Swift - Midnights (2022) {Target Exclusive Edition} CD-Rip

Midnights is the tenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, released on October 21, 2022, via Republic Records. Announced at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, the album marks Swift's first body of new work since her 2020 albums Folklore and Evermore. Midnights is a concept album about nocturnal contemplation, written and produced by Swift with Jack Antonoff as the main collaborator. The album was inspired by "thirteen sleepless nights" throughout Swift's life. She adopted a glamorous visual aesthetic for the album, drawing from the 1970s fashion and art. Eschewing the alternative folk sound of Folklore and Evermore, Swift experimented with electronica, synth-pop, dream pop and chill-out music styles in Midnights, employing subtle grooves, vintage synthesizers, drum machine and hip hop rhythms. Its subject matter contains confessional yet cryptic lyrics, discussing self-criticism, self-assurance, insecurity, anxiety, and insomnia. Midnights was met with widespread acclaim from music critics, who praised its restrained production, candid songwriting, and vocal cadences. Midnights broke a string of records upon release, including the most single-day streams for an album in Spotify history. In the United States, it logged the largest vinyl sales week of the 21st century, became the fastest-selling album since Swift's own Reputation (2017), and finished its first day as the best-selling album of 2022.
