The ‘Old Rozay’ knows that the customer is always right, never deviating too far from what made him famous in the first place.“And Winter Came- something that is pretty relevant with the turn in weather the last few days. Red (Taylor’s Version) is both an Intellectual Property strategy tool, and a prolepsis of the status that the 2012 album will uphold in the future Sadly, KEYS is not up there with her finest work.
