        After much anticipation, Taylor’s Swift’s long awaited new single “Out of the Woods” was released on Monday, October 13th, at midnight. A pop song defined by its synthesized beats, the track clearly shows Swift’s transition from country singer to pure pop artist. Swift describes her song as the anxiety she felt over a fragile relationship. "This was a relationship where I was kind of, living day to day, wondering where it was going, if it was going to go anywhere, if it was going to end the next day," she said. This song was a huge success with Swift’s fans and has already soared to No. 1 on Billboard’s pop charts. Swift’s complete album “1989” was released on October 27th.

 

        “1989” isn’t the only buzzed about album coming right now. The recently released “Sweet Talker” by Jessie J has become popular for featuring big collaborations with A-list producers. Another new album is entitled “Black Star Elephant.” The Norwegian singers of the album, Nico and Vinz, became instantly popular with their song “Am I Wrong” which hit No. 4 on Billboard’s pop charts. If you are into pop or hip hop you might want to give these a try.
