    A quick google search shows a poorly defined “genre” that few people agree on. Definitely not basic music knowledge.

    But no I was not aware of any genre, so we’ll just leave that there.

    Enjoying the album so far.

    I’m just curious how much she contributes vs the producers. The credits to 1989 were worse, there were like 5 names on every song

    This Is Me Trying is the best song on the album imo.

    I'm pretty certain she's always written the vast majority, if not all, of her lyrics. Maybe she's just liberal with her writing credits. Idk. Her lyrical style hasn't changed since the beginning though.

    Yes. It's very laid back. She also says fuck quite a few times, which I appreciate.

    This was discussed itt a while ago. Feel free to go pages back to find it if you want. Bottom line is that she's the primary writer on every song she's released. Sometimes she asks people she trusts for their input on certain songs. I'd say her chosen method has proven to be successful so hate all you want.

    She writes almost everything. She will then work through some items with collaborators and producers much like an author with writing groups and editors

    It is great. On first listen it sounds like stripped down girl rock from the 90s: Cranberries, Tori Amos, Mazzy Star, etc.
