Singer recorded track at Long Pond Studios with Aaron Dessner of the National and Jonathan Low

Taylor Swift is adeptly ushering in Sad Girl Autumn with a new version of “All Too Well.” She recorded the rendition with her “besties” Aaron Dessner of the National and Jonathan Low.

“One of the saddest songs I’ve ever written just got sadder,” Swift posted on Twitter, and it isn’t hyperbole. She said she drove to Long Pond Studios in upstate New York to track the song with Dessner and Low. Her 2020 Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions documentary was also set at the isolated studio in the woods.

 

Like the track that appears on Red (Taylor’s Version), the song is an extended 10-minute poignant reflection on a heart-wrenching breakup. The shorter original track appeared on 2012’s Red. The new take earns its Sad Girl stripes with its soft piano beginnings buoying her hushed opening vocal, which receives touches of lush layering accentuating the emotional lyrics as the song progresses.

The latest version of the track follows the release of the epic Swift-directed All Too Well short film starring Stranger Things‘ Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien.

Earlier in the week, Swift dropped the video for “I Bet You Think About Me,” which was directed by Blake Lively.

Dave East and Harry Fraud are preparing to release their new album, Price Of Pain, which is shaping up to be one of the year’s strongest joint projects. The record features an impressive lineup of guest artists across its tracklist, including Benny The Butcher on the new song "Everything Is Up." The single once again highlights the natural chemistry Dave East and Harry Fraud have developed through their many collaborations. They continue to work seamlessly together, delivering sharp production and confident verses throughout the track. Benny also adds a powerful guest performance that fits perfectly with the sound East and Fraud have created.
