Midnights 3am on Vinyl

A Testament to the Power of Creativity.

Taylor Swift's latest album, Midnights is not only a stunning work of art, but also a testament to the power of creativity and self-determination. The album marks a new chapter in Swift's career.

In an industry where artists often struggle to maintain control over their own work, Swift is an example of the importance of creative freedom and the power of artists to shape their own destinies. It is a reminder that art is not just a product to be sold, but a deeply personal and transformative expression of the human experience.

Swift's decision to take control of her music is particularly significant in light of the recent controversy surrounding her previous catalog, which was sold without her knowledge or consent to a private equity firm. This move not only denied Swift control over her own music, but also sent a chilling message to other artists about the precarious nature of their own creativity.

With Midnights Swift has reclaimed her voice and her power, and in doing so, she has become an inspiration to other artists struggling to maintain control over their own work. The album is a reminder that artists have the ability to shape their own destinies and reclaim their art. 

"I don't know what to say except that it's a dream come true so be kind to me, or treat me mean but either way, I'll keep moving" - Taylor Swift

These words are a powerful reminder that creativity and self-determination are not just ideals to be cherished, but also the key to achieving our dreams and shaping our own destinies. In a world where artists are often reduced to mere products to be marketed and sold, Swift is a beacon of hope. It is a reminder that creativity and self-determination are not just possible, but essential to our own personal and professional growth.

Art has the power to help us navigate our struggles and emerge stronger on the other side. She shows us that even the most painful experiences can become the raw material for something transformative.

Midnights is the 10th studio album by American songstress. The album went on to be the most-streamed album in a single day on Spotify’s history before midnight of October 22 breaking all previous records.

Swift produced four cover variants for the record, and the back of each cover, come together to make an analog clock. The four variants are Moonstone Blue (the standard version), Blood Moon, Mahogany, and Jade Green. Midnights features 13 new tracks, split into an A side and a B side, and Swift describes the project as being about, the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout her life.
