Per chairman Taylor Swift, here's what we know about 'The Tortured Poets Department'
Published in Entertainment News
In Target's product description for "The Tortured Poets Department" vinyl, the album is classified as pop, but the singer herself has not indicated where the album lands with respect to genre.
Instead, the self-proclaimed "chairman of the Tortured Poets Department" has released successive batches of lyrics, including "Crowd goes wild at her fingertips / Half moonshine, / full eclipse" — posted on the day of the April 8 solar eclipse.
Still, clues about the album's potential sonic characteristics may lie with two of its credited songwriters, Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff, who have each produced large swaths of Swift's discography.
If the two producers' generally dissimilar sounds — Dessner leans pastoral, and Antonoff, synthetic — both inflect the record, it could be anything from folk to indie pop.
How many songs? Any guest artists?
Swift revealed the track list for "The Tortured Poets Department" in a Feb. 5 Instagram post, listing the following 16 titles:
"Fortnight" (feat. Post Malone)
"The Tortured Poets Department"
"My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys"
"Down Bad"
