An artist who chose to release her 2015 album 'Nat' independently, then found wider recognition with atmospheric pop songs like 'Loved You Before'.
For a sense of her emotional pop direction, 'Loved You Before' frames it well. The independent release of 'Nat' still says something about how she's approached things.
Taylor's 2015 decision to release 'Nat' independently rather than through a major label drew attention at the time, even if it's hard to measure the career impact. Her 2019 single 'Surrender' brought wider recognition, and songs like 'Loved You Before' show her move toward emotional, atmospheric pop with direct lyrics. She's kept working as a solo artist, bringing in different musicians and producers while maintaining a more stripped-down approach live.
She released her debut EP 'Joanne' in 2014, introducing her folk-pop sound. The independent release of 'Nat' in 2015 was followed by 'Tapestry' in 2021, with 'Surrender' gaining traction in 2019. Her live shows tend to be more direct than some studio tracks.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
