    Magic - The Cars

    Here's my review of Magic by The Cars, taken from their 1984 album Heartbeat City. This song is one of the best finds of the year for me, its a fabulous 1980's pop rock song with great vocals, a cool guitar solo and some excellent synths.

    Come Back Be Here (Taylor's Version) - Taylor Swift

    Here's my review of Come Back Be Here (Taylor's Version) by Taylor Swift, taken from her 2021 album Red (Taylor's Version). This is one of my favourite Taylor Swift songs, with some insightful lyrics about the difficulties of being in a long distance relationship set to some great musical backing.
