Taylor Swift, “You All Over Me (From the Vault)”
One of six cellar songs from Taylor Swift to come Without fear, “You All Over Me” was first written when she was 16 to 18 years old. The lyrics cover many of Taylor’s old reference points from that time: pavement water, old county roads, truck tires, child-like innocence. Produced by Aaron Dessner with calls from Maren Morris, the song effectively connects old and new Taylor in the beauty of songwriting; it’s very much a country song, but it’s a Taylor Country classic, full of detail and visuals, though with simpler lyrics than you can find on the SAT full of words folklore and forever. A demo version of the song was released years ago, but the updated recording still feels pretty much Taylor.
Demi Lovato, “Dancing with the devil”

Audrey Mika, “Chivalry”
Audrey Mika’s latest single “Chivalry” is a retro ode to being your own hero. With a pop swing verse, the 20-year-old singer describes the terms of the relationship. “The conflict is dead,” the song closes. ” And I’m fine with that. I am my own gentleman. “
Bobby Sessions, “Cog in the Machine”
Bobby Sessions wastes no time at all.
