Taylor Swift to release re-recording of album 'Red' in November


After "Fearless," we're getting another classic Taylor Swift album!

The American pop star just announced that she's releasing her version of her 2012 album "Red," composed of re-recordings of the original tracks, along with a bunch of songs that never made it to the original album.

The new version will have a total of 30 tracks, compared to the original 16 tracks of the standard album, and 22 tracks of the deluxe edition.

"This will be the first time you hear all 30 songs that were meant to go on Red. And hey, one of them is even ten minutes long," Taylor said in a Facebook post.

 

Looking back at the inspiration of the album, Taylor said, "Red resembled a heartbroken person."

"It was all over the place, a fractured mosaic of feelings that somehow all fit together in the end. Happy, free, confused, lonely, devastated, euphoric, wild, and tortured by memories past," she said.

"Like trying on pieces of a new life, I went into the studio and experimented with different sounds and collaborators. And I’m not sure if it was pouring my thoughts into this album, hearing thousands of your voices sing the lyrics back to me in passionate solidarity, or if it was simply time, but something was healed along the way," she added.

"Red (Taylor's Version)" is set to be released on November 19.

Back in April, Taylor released the re-recording of her 2008 album "Fearless." On top of the re-recordings of her classic tracks, the new version contained six songs from the vault, including "We Were Happy" and "Mr. Perfectly Fine."

The singer has been re-recording her old albums amid her ongoing legal battle to gain ownership of her old songs. —JCB, GMA News
