The New Listener’s Guide to Taylor Swift’s Album Collection
By Austin Price, Editor in Chief
Taylor Swift is one of the most elite, successful, and well-known musical artists in our world today. Swift made history with her seamless transition between the genres of country music and pop music. In addition, Swift has also explored the indie and folk musical genres. She has received accolades for her songwriting, artistry, and entrepreneurship, all of which have majorly influenced the music industry and popular culture. Taylor Swift has released 10 original studio albums, 4 re-recorded studio albums, 5 extended plays, and 4 live albums. With such a massive amount of published material, I would argue that Taylor Swift is a genre all on her own. She certainly has enough music to support it.

The Origin of Sea Shanties
By Austin Price, Editor in Chief
Music has always been a primary form of communication between humans. Whether it be in celebration or grief, reverence or rebellion, music has remained a constant form of shared communication between human beings. Music has been consistently proven to impact one’s psychological status and draw many emotions from our society. There are countless genres of music and variations of sound. Despite these innumerable styles of music, they all share one key characteristic. This characteristic is the authenticity and vulnerability of connecting many peoples. While we cannot attribute this characteristic to one genre, I would argue that there is one genre that is prominent and even vital in human connection and distribution of information. This genre is known as sea shanties.
