This new song by Taylor Swift and Zayn Malik is absolute magic. I heard a few days prior to its release that the two artists would be working together, but I thought it was just a rumor. To my delight, I listened to the song the morning it dropped and immediately downloaded it off of iTunes.
I've never watched or read 50 Shades, but I might just have to get into the books or movies so I can see how this song plays out in the next movie.
I love how beautiful both singers sound. I couldn't help but start dancing emotionally as I made my breakfast while listening to this song. I've noticed that since the release of Pillow Talk, Zayn's vocals have improved immensely. Not that he didn't sound amazing at the start of his One Direction career. But damn, that man knows how to ride a string of notes like a surfbort. Excuse my random Beyoncé reference.
Taylor Swift didn't disappoint, either. I've noticed how much she's grown vocally during her live performances and I'm excited to hear some new music of hers. I'm not anticipating her next album, which could have a hip hop vibe to it? Could musical life get any better? I highly doubt it.
This is one of those songs that you can listen to over and over, never getting tired of it. Each time to listen to the song, you'll notice something new-a sound you didn't notice previously.
When I hear this song, I imagine people with all different dance styles pouring their hearts out to this music. I'll definitely be playing "I Don't Wanna Live Forever," while I practice dancing. I'll also be making a cover of this song, so be sure to check it out.
