    Com adição de 6 novas musicas, Taylor Swift relança seu terceiro album, Speak Now, 100% escrito pela cantora compositora, com voz mais madura e instrumentais mais limpos

    Este de FATO é a melhor regravação da Taylor até agora, uma vez que a voz e a qualidade instrumental estão claramente evoluídos. A felicidade na voz que se da pra ouvir nas canções é reconfortante. E as faixas extras só melhoraram a tracklist do álbum. Impecável.

    Original Speak Now was criminally overlooked upon its release in 2010, this new edition may be considered as a reparation to this gem in Taylor Swift's career. It stands out of her previous works (debut album and Fearless) because of the quality of her songwriting and the cohesion of the whole album. In addition to that, she produced the whole album herself (except If This Was A Movie onOriginal Speak Now was criminally overlooked upon its release in 2010, this new edition may be considered as a reparation to this gem in Taylor Swift's career. It stands out of her previous works (debut album and Fearless) because of the quality of her songwriting and the cohesion of the whole album. In addition to that, she produced the whole album herself (except If This Was A Movie on the deluxe edition, which she co-wrote). Swift initially described Speak Now as a collection of diary entries, and the listener witnesses a story of love, heartbreak, breakup and revenge from a perspective of a naïve 20-year old girl. Although Taylor is 33 now, she performs her old songs with the same amount of innocence and feel. Even though some of the tracks don't feel relevant to Swift anymore (e. g. 'Better Than Revenge'), the most songs received a perfect glow up instrumentally (like in 'Enchanted' or 'Haunted') and vocally (for example, in 'Long Live' or 'Dear John'). Bonus 'From The Vault' tracks are icing on the cake and totally worth listening to. Speak Now TV is easily Taylor's best re-recording so far, and that's what Speak Now deserves after 13 years of being underappreciated. Congratulations on returning one more album back to its FULL OWNER! Expand

    Speak Now was one of the most anticipated albums to receive its re-recording, and when it is finally released, it's so disappointing; a huge amount of factors are missing, Taylor's lack of emotion on iconic tracks like " Dear John" and "Back to December" is notorious, the songwriter's obvious geniality is almost neutralized in the album as a whole.

    Vocal growth combined with phenomenal production makes this the best re-recording so far. Each song feels much more vibrant, and Taylor's vocals allows for a much stronger performance overall. Vault songs are also nice additions with a mixture between new romance and crushing anxiety seen with Red TV's vault. Albums like this need to make a comeback into the mainstream.

    The old ver of Speak Now was already very good, and Taylor's Version made it even better, compared to old speak now the quality went up a lot and that's amazing, the only thing I didn't like were the tracks from the Vault, which only have 2 or 3 good ones.

    The production on this album is other worldly! This is by far the best production on one of her re recorded albums. She did an amazing job creating the voice of 19 year old Taylor, and produced a record that leaves you feeling the same as it did 10 years ago. Props to her and her team on creating such a perfect album again.

It contains "Taylor Swift's" own life experience ,hard times that she executed through her music with this album. She admired and appreciated her fans for their help and supports owning her own music. And she got to put out her leaved behind songs as vault tracks with some awesome collaboration's like "Hayley Williams" "Fall out boy". It's really hard not to talk about this not to admire how Enchanting it is to hear those tracks. It's rising and smashing the streaming charts everywhere on its first week of debut. The album has broken some first day streaming records also.Absolute "MASTERPIECE".

    i may be biased as a swiftie, but somehow she makes the perfect album even more perfect in her re-recording of the 2010 record. i also would like to make it clear that this was not for money like some people believe, but because her original work was stolen from her.

    favorites: sparks fly, dear john, the story of us, better than revenge, haunted, last kiss, long live, i can see you,

    Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) is a nod to one of life’s central truths: you can’t go back in time, and you can never perfectly replicate your youth, but there are always new paths forward.

    Throughout Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), Swift sometimes mutes the messy adolescent impulses that gave these songs their spark. But elsewhere, she divests from fantasy archetypes—the knight on a white horse, the helpless child—that once limited her. Think of the new Speak Now as a call and response between who she was and who she is.
