Taylor Swift comments on artists choosing to release standalone singles instead of albums

Music Week asks Taylor Swift about trend in which artists opt to release standalone singles rather than an album:

"As long as people dropping just singles want to be doing that, then I'm fine with it, but it feels like a big general wave that's been pressured by people in power” pic.twitter.com/og3EiyldLt

I just miss when songs were like four minutes long.

[pikapika217]

I KNOW

music under 3 minutes doesn't feel like nearly enough to me

I remember people complaining that Sign of the Times (Harry Styles) was too long and I’m like umm that song has some issues imo but the length is not the biggest one. I get so bored by ringtone songs where it’s just a hook and then a sped through, noncommittal verse/bridge-ish thing.

[dolce_piccante]

It was dull, agreed, I was just saying that a song that’s five and a half minutes long is not a big deal for me. I think the larger issues were lyrics, the key, and that it went nowhere.

[rainstormraider]

It was too long because it was boring af.

[lawofcosines]

same

i miss when pop songs had an actual chorus and bridge. i miss when pop songs had better structure.

[hazypink]

mte

I also miss dense lyrics with an interesting bridge. I wanna be taken on a journey! Pop songs don’t take me anywhere these days lol

[vanouria]

so true. i loved the trend of the late 90s/early 2000s pop where the bridge would happen and then be layered over the final one or two run throughs of the chorus. it was artful tbqh!!

[stewie_e]

Agreed. Anything under 3 minutes should be a crime. I’m feeling myself to “Panini” in the car and then, it’s over. No me gusta.

[ellaellaeheheh]

so true about panini! it ends when it is so good.

[tucker]

Lol I actually love a short song

[ellaellaeheheh]

yeah, I dont mind it. some songs should be short lol

[glitterslugs]

and bring back choruses, sf sick of a verse that builds up to just an edm breakdown instead of a chorus

[dedebee]

ME TOO
