Why are people angry she's using synths? I always found this fascination and defensiveness about her country origins to be bizarre. She has been a bonafide pop star for like five years. Red is basically a pop album despite it having a lot more 'normal' instrumentation but the fact is it makes no sense for her to do anything but out and out pop.
I do hope she one day makes a good alt-country album though, ala Miley Cyrus' new album. Such a shame that thing flopped and all publicity is being shut down. Younger Now and Malibu have a great sound and are pretty fresh for pop and her ability to weave in melancholy is amazing. It's a pity her eras are really good in terms of dedication to image (haircuts, clothes, colour palettes) and a great lead single that embodies it and then... the album just sucks. She has potential. Baby Talk is still up there for me.
