This song “New Romantics” is from Taylor Swift’s Grammy winning album called 1989 which was released in October 2014.  It is her 5th studio album and has her paying tribute to pop stars of the 1980’s.  Before this pop album, her work was country tinged.

At Blogfinger we can’t relate to these lyrics, but we can recall when we had our own view of our generation along with our own music.

Musically speaking, “New Romantics” is a very appealing pop tune.  Taylor is an amazing performer, writer, entrepreneur, and woman.

“— Swift speaking about her inspiration for the album during an interview with Kiss FM.”

“I have a few artists in the late eighties who I think made the most incredible, bold, risky decisions as far as pop music goes. They were really ahead of their time, like Annie Lennox and what Madonna was doing in the late eighties. “Like a Prayer” is legitimately one of the greatest pop songs of all time.”

Lyrics excerpt: (for girls only?)

“We’re so young that we’re on the road to ruin
We play dumb
But we know exactly what we’re doing
We cry tears
Of mascara in the bathroom
Honey life is just a classroom”
